With the MapleSim Connector for LabVIEW™ and NI VeriStand™ Software
, you can extend your NI LabVIEW and NI VeriStand applications
by integrating MapleSim's high-performance, multi-domain environment
into your existing toolchain.
- Complex engineering system models can be developed and optimized
rapidly in the intuitive visual modeling environment of MapleSim.
- The
high-performance, high-fidelity MapleSim models are automatically
converted to user-code blocks for easy inclusion in your LabVIEW
VIs and NI VeriStand Applications.
- The model code is fully optimized
for high-speed real-time simulation, allowing you to get the
performance you need for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing without
sacrificing fidelity.
Key Features
- Exports MapleSim models to LabVIEW and NI VeriStand, including
rotational, translational, and multibody mechanical systems,
thermal models, and electric circuits.
- Creates ANSI C code blocks
for fast execution within LabVIEW, NI VeriStand, and the corresponding
real-time platforms.
- Code blocks are created from the
symbolically simplified system equations produced by MapleSim,
resulting in compact, highly efficient models.
- The resulting
code is further optimized using the powerful optimization
tools in Maple, ensuring fast execution.
- Supports
all continuous MapleSim model domains, including mechanical systems
and electric circuits.
- Produces blocks for complicated systems
that are not normally tractable, such as systems that include
algebraic loops or have index-2 or higher DAEs.
- Generates multi-input
and multi-output blocks with a user-definable parameter terminal,
so the block can be used immediately once created.
- Supports models
that include MapleSim custom components, automatically incorporating
any user-defined procedures.
- Provides an easy-to-use MapleSim
template with an intuitive step-by-step interface for setting
parameters and options, browsing generated code, and exporting
models to LabVIEW and NI VeriStand.
- Includes a set of Maple language
commands, which provides programmatic access to all functionality
as an alternative to the interactive interface and supports custom
application development.
- Supports both the External Model Interface
(EMI) and the Simulation Interface Toolkit (SIT).
- Allows generated
block code to be viewed and modified.
- Automatically generates
an HTML help page for each block for easy lookup of definitions
and parameter defaults.
Applications
The MapleSim Connector for LabVIEW™ and NI VeriStand™ Software
accelerates any project that requires high-fidelity engineering
models for hardware-in-the-loop applications, such as component
testing and electronic controller development and integration.
