Maplesoft’s suite of engineering tools reduces the burden of developing high-fidelity models of automotive powertrain systems, including engines, transmissions, brakes, and drivelines. Compared to traditional simulation tools, Maplesoft’s next-generation graphical tools for model development and analysis dramatically reduce the time and cost of up-front analysis, virtual prototyping, and parameter optimization of system designs.
Maple and MapleSim are used extensively in powertrain control applications. The product suite includes tools for easily transferring work into an existing design toolchain, such as MATLAB® and Simulink®, and is especially useful for hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
