Maple 12 includes new tools built on Maple's technology platform of smart documents, powerful mathematics and seamless connectivity to the engineering design toolchain.
Maplesoft, the provider of high-performance software tools for engineering, science and mathematics, has just released the next release of Maple, a tool for solving complex mathematical problems and creating rich technical documents.
Maple 12 includes new tools built on Maple's technology platform of smart documents, powerful mathematics and seamless connectivity to the engineering design toolchain.
One of the most significant features of this release is the direct connectivity between Maple 12 and popular CAD systems such as SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor.
CAD users will now be able to deploy powerful mathematical capabilities to dramatically extend the range of analysis on CAD models.
The product also offers new ways to develop sophisticated mathematical models faster and more accurately.
A new collection of dynamic systems modelling tools have also been added.
These tools will add convenient frequency domain analysis and state space analysis to Maple's mathematical tool set.
Users are now able to deploy mathematical capabilities to dramatically extend the range of analysis on CAD models.
Maple 12's knowledge-documentation tools allow engineers to tag designs electronically with rich technical documentation and calculations.
As a result design calculations are integrated seamlessly into the overall engineering workflow.
Additional connectivity innovations include Matlab code import and translation to enable the easy migration of legacy code to new Maple documents and database connectivity to allow Maple 12 applications to directly access external datasets stored in popular SQL databases.
The new Dynamic Systems package offers a large selection of analytic and graphing tools for linear time-invariant systems which are essential in control systems development.
New Wavelets support provides easy access to the most powerful suite of wavelet tools in any general-purpose computation package.
Wavelet analysis is an important technique in areas such as image compression and image and signal analysis, complementing classical techniques such as FFT.
New plotting capabilities simplify the creation of complex engineering plots.
New plot types include dual-axis plots, polar plots and specialised engineering plots such as frequency domain responses and root-locus plots.
Major enhancements have been made to the differential equation and differential-algebraic equation (DAE) solvers.
Maple's smart document technology also features a range of new features.
Users now have a greater choice in buttons, controls and other interface tools.
In addition, the new Exploration Assistant allows users to create interactive mini-applications to explore the parameters of their expressions instantly.
For advanced users who develop custom code, Maple 12 includes tools that make Maple scripts and procedures easier to write.
The code editor makes the creation of any advanced application faster.
The final result is easily distributed, attractive and easy to use.
