Maple 12 introduces an extensive range of new tools built on Maple's technology platform of smart documents, powerful mathematics and seamless connectivity to the engineering design toolchain
Maplesoft, a provider of high-performance software tools for engineering, science and mathematics, has just announced the next release of Maple, its popular tool for solving complex mathematical problems and creating rich technical documents.
Maple is already an industry standard tool in engineering and scientific circles.
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.
Based on major industry trends and extensive consultation with its user base, the product also offers new ways to develop sophisticated mathematical models faster and more accurately than ever before.
A new collection of Dynamic Systems modelling tools, essential in dynamic modelling, control design and signal processing, is yet another important addition to the new release.
These tools will add convenient frequency domain analysis, state space analysis and more to Maple's already extensive mathematical tool set.
"Maple 12 offers a bold new set of features to dramatically extend the analytical reach of engineers".
"Many of the new features truly break new ground and set the stage for great levels of analytical productivity," said Jim Cooper, CEO of Maplesoft.
"I am confident that Maple 12 will spark greater creativity, efficiency and effectiveness in design and analysis".
Pilot users of Maple 12 have responded positively.
"Changes in Maple 12 have made it much easier for me to program big calculations.
"Once I understood the efficacy of this method my code became not only faster but much easier to read and understand," said Marvin Weinstein, theoretical physicist at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
