MapleSim - High-Performance Multi-Domain Modeling and Simulation

Key Features of MapleSim

MapleSim is a drag-and-drop physical modeling tool that applies advanced symbolic computation techniques to produce high-performance simulation models of multi-domain systems. You can construct plant models using acausal connections between the components to represent their physical relationships, and then combine your plant models with signal flow-based control systems. MapleSim generates the representative system equations, reduces them to an optimal form while maintaining model fidelity, and runs a dynamic simulation of the resulting system, complete with a 3-D visual representation.

Key Features
  • Using the drag-and-drop physical modeling environment, you can quickly create a model diagram that maps directly to your physical system. View Movie
  • MapleSim comes with over 300 prebuilt components from 11 different domains, including mechanical, electrical, thermal, signal, and hydraulic, that can be naturally combined in a model diagram. View Movie
  • Systems equations are automatically generated from the system diagram and simplified using lossless symbolic techniques to produce an optimal set of equations. These equations can be viewed, manipulated, and analyzed using natural math notation.
  • Equation-based custom components allow you to easily define custom components from first principles by specifying the representative mathematical equations. View Movie
  • Advanced multibody system handling generates optimized kinematic and dynamic equations for multibody systems.
  • A flexible model construction environment supports both block diagram and 3-D model construction for multibody systems. During system simulation, realistic 3-D animations allow for full insight and understanding of the resulting dynamic behavior. View Movie
  • Built-in analysis tools support parameter optimization, sensitivity analysis, equation extraction, multibody analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and more. View Movie
  • Units management removes potential conversion and consistency errors.
  • Live design documentation allows you to analyze, fine tune, and document your project and store the information with your model diagram.
  • Full-featured symbolic scripting language provides programmatic access to mathematical solvers, structures, and visualization tools.
  • Symbolic techniques produce efficient, high-fidelity model equations and optimized code for fast real-time execution, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) applications. View Movie
  • Models can be deployed to other applications in your toolchain using the built-in optimized code generation feature or more directly through connectivity add-ons for popular platforms from The MathWorks™ and National Instruments™. View Movie
