Key Features & Benefits
Key Features
- Reduces model development time from months to days while producing high-fidelity, high-performance models.
- Its multidomain physical modeling environment supports system-level modeling.
- A completely open environment, never restricted to built-in components or analyses
- Integrates seamlessly with popular real-time toolchains, including Simulink® and FMI-compatible tools.
- CAD Toolbox module: Import CAD models into MapleSim and capture kinematic and kinetic properties of model components
Benefits
- Develop better designs with powerful analysis and optimization tools. Because of the symbolic computation engine, MapleSim has an extensive library of built-in analysis tools for sensitivity analysis, parameter sweeps etc., as well as the tools for developing custom analyses.
- Get extremely fast simulation code – with MapleSim, you can achieve real-time simulation speeds without sacrificing fidelity.
- The CAD Toolbox module allows users to see how mechanical CAD models will behave as part of a larger, multidomain system, and apply MapleSim’s advanced analysis tools to improve the designs.
