How Does MapleSim Compare?

For Analysis, Documentation, and Custom Physical Components

A live MapleSim model can be embedded in a Maple document – this allows you to interact with the model using the complete spectrum of functionality within Maple. No other tool offers this complete integration of a physical modeling and analysis environment.

Analyze Physical Models

Apply greater rigor more easily to model analysis with the integration of Maple and MapleSim

Maple offers a complete spectrum of functionality that enhances the engineering analysis process. It has numerical and symbolic math functionality, as well as visualization tool, which will allow you to:

Optimize control parameters to minimize rise time and attenuate overshoot.

Plot magnitude, phase, and root locus graphs for better controls analyses.

Perform parameter sweeps, sensitivity analysis, and Monte Carlo analysis.

Conduct Design of Experiments studies.

Run batch simulations with an intuitive programming language.

Generated optimized C code.

Maple’s math and visualization functionality is supported by user-oriented features like:

Command completion to help access the broad sweep of numeric and symbolic functionality.

Syntax highlighting to help structure programs.

Context-sensitive right-click menus that give you syntax-free access to just those commands that are applicable at every given moment.

Maple offers functionality for every part of the engineering design process

Live Documentation

Delivers an unparalleled degree of traceability and shareable documentation

Maple offers a complete environment for MapleSim users to document their engineering design. It has documentation features such as:

Equation numbering

Collapsible sections and subsections

Tables

Equation numbering

Text styles

Dials, gauges, list boxes, pushbuttons, and more

Visualization tools including 2-D and 3-D plots, and plots for control analysis

Creating Custom Physical Components

Save time and get the physical components you need without writing complex code

You can create custom physical components by writing down the equations in proper mathematical notation in a Maple template.

Other physical modeling tools, however, demand that you write programming code to create physical components.
