Maple adds important analysis
capabilities to CAD systems, giving CAD users the ability to use Maple's
computational power to analyze and optimize designs. Using Maple, CAD
users can answer such questions as "What are the mathematical
relationships between objects?" and "How do changes to object properties
impact other objects?" With Maple 15, CAD connectivity is expanded to
include NX® 7, running on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.
CAD system connectivity allows you to retrieve parameters from a
CAD drawing and send new values back to be automatically incorporated in
the design.
The CAD Link Assistant provides a quick, interactive way to
experiment with the CAD Connectivity functionality without having to
write code.
With the CAD Link Assistant, it is easy to browse the scalar
quantities in a CAD design, so it can be used as a tool to aid in
writing
your own CAD-capable worksheets.
Using Maple's programming language and built-in API commands, you
can create specialized tools for part reconfiguration and optimization.
SolidWorks®, Autodesk Inventor®, and NX are supported.
"Without the Maple software, we would have to spend weeks generating the equations of motion for every experiment. Then the chances that we did it right would basically be near zero. There would always be a mistake somewhere. It is very difficult to set up a dynamic motion model by hand." - Jean-Claude PiedBeouf, Ph.D Manager of Robotics, Canadian Space Agency
"Its very good - highly accurate and easy to use. The speed of Maple allows me to change equations and quickly reintegrate them into the application, so more possibilities can be explored to achieve the precise effect desired." Shawn Neely, Senior R & D Director for PDI/Dreamworks
