The demand for innovation is universal across industries, as new products are required to meet higher performance standards without slowing the overall time to market. This reality is perhaps most apparent in the automotive industry, where a wide range of technologies must come together seamlessly if a new product is to be successful.

Cities across the world are increasing in both population and density, and for because of this public transportation plays a critical role in creating liveable cities by reducing the total number of vehicles operating in urban centres. An effective transit system also has the potential to drastically reduce carbon emissions generated from the transportation of people, resulting in improved urban air quality and sustaining a healthy environme...

  An International Summit Series about online education, two summits of which will be in European cities, has been announced by Maplesoft. The series of five Maple T.A. and Möbius User Summits includes stops in London (7th to 8th September 2017) and Turin, Italy (12th October) and will focus on transformations in online education.

Innovative ideas and technological advances are born from passion, and this is no different when it comes to the motorcycle racing simulator developed by Frédéric Nicolo. A numerical and scientific calculation engineer in France, Nicolo’s love for motorcycles inspired him to start his own venture after realising there were no motorbike simulators that performed at the same level as existing driving simulators for cars.

A critical component in vehicle design is the tyres. To save time and money in the design and development of new vehicles, automotive manufacturers typically use models to simulate the dynamic relationship between tyres and road surfaces. If possible, a tyre model must accurately simulate the dynamics of the system and allow designers to vary its parameters, and simulations must also execute quickly.

A Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Battery Cell Simulator package has been released by ETAS and Maplesoft which satisfies the highest demands for the test and calibration of Battery Management Systems. The solution is based on Maplesoft’s efficient, high-fidelity MapleSim battery model and ETAS’ high-precision Battery Cell Simulator (BCS) BCS-LABCAR. Suppliers of Battery Management Systems (BMS) face a number of challenges with regard to te...

A new plugin introduced by Maplesoft and Phoenix Integration enables engineers to easily incorporate Maplesoft’s software products Maple and MapleSim into the ModelCenter workflow integration and automation platform from Phoenix Integration. The plugin allows engineers to take advantage of the reduced risk, improved designs, and shorter development times resulting from using Maplesoft’s engineering tools, along with the efficienc...

The online testing and assessment system tool, MapleSim, from Maplesoft is being employed at The University of Manchester where Dr. Joaquin Carrasco, Professor of Control Systems at the University’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, has taught various control systems courses to Master’s students for the past six years.

Maplesoft announced an important update to Maple T.A., its powerful online testing and assessment system designed especially for courses involving mathematics. Suitable for use in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses, Maple T.A. now supports the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard. This means Maple T.A. can be easily integrated with course management systems that support LTI. Maplesoft officially supports LTI...

Maplesoft today announced an important update to the MapleSim Control Design Toolbox, an add-on to MapleSim, the advanced system-level modeling and simulation tool from Maplesoft. The MapleSim Control Design Toolbox allows engineers to take advantage of the greater flexibility and analysis options available through the use of symbolic parameters. This new release extends the functionality of this toolbox with more control algorithms, options for ...

Maplesoft has released a major new version of its Maple Global Optimization Toolbox, which is now available from its partner in the UK, Ireland and the Nordic countries Adept Scientific. The Toolbox is designed to solve a wide variety of optimization problems in mathematics, engineering and the sciences; and this latest release harnesses the power of Optimus technology from Noesis Solutions to achieve faster solutions and expand the scope of prob...

Maplesoft has announced a new release of MapleSim, the advanced system-level modelling and simulation platform. With improved performance, more tools for programmatic analysis and model development and expanded connectivity options, MapleSim 6.1 helps engineers meet and exceed their system-level requirements.

Maplesoft has announced a major new release of its flagship product, Maple, the technical computing software for engineers, mathematicians and scientists. With Maple 17 Maplesoft introduces more computation tools and a large collection of enhancements dedicated to supporting the creation of applications.

The latest release of MapleSim, the Modelica-based physical modelling and simulation platform, has been announced by Maplesoft. With tighter Modelica integration, as well as more simulation, analysis and connectivity capabilities, MapleSim 6 offers even more ways for engineers to meet and exceed their system-level requirements.

Adept Scientific has long offered its own consultation resources to customers across their product range. In a move to enhance this offering, Adept is now able to formally call upon Maplesoft’s newly created professional consultancy services which will complement Adept’s expertise and provide a project implementation route for customers.

Available from Adept Scientific Maple 16 extends its support to Autodesk Inventor 2012, Solidworks 2012 and Siemens NX 8. CAD users can take advantage of Maple's computational power to analyse and optimise designs. By using Maple, CAD users determine the mathematical relationships between objects and how changes to object properties impact other objects in their design.

Vehicle manufacturers are constantly faced with the challenge of balancing fuel efficiency and safety against the demands for greater performance and lower development costs. Driven by these needs, a wide range of computer-aided modeling tools has emerged, covering all aspects of the dynamic behavior of vehicles. However, these tools tend to be very application-specific and use computationally intensive numerical methods, such as finite differenc...
