How does MapleSim compare?

• Like SimScape or Dymola
Other physical modelling tools produce cluttered block diagrams or have computational engines not suited for modern applications. MapleSim, however, generates more concise representations of physical systems and exploits the latest technology to model the demanding multidomain systems that challenge engineers today.
- Integration with Maple Delivers Live Documentation and Advanced Analysis
Delivers an unparalleled degree of clarity and traceability, model assurance and shareable documentation
Unlike other physical modelling tools, MapleSim provides full access to the underlying symbolic equations in a form that can be manipulated and analysed. By exploring and analysing the equations in the Maple document environment, you gain a greater understanding of your model structure. You can, for example, carry out parameters sweeps, optimisation your model, or perform a sensitivity analysis.
MapleSim users have direct access to the full Maple environment, including a spectrum of analysis, visualisation and documentation tools. This means you can explore, improve and document your designs in Maple’s easy-to-use environment, while maintaining an active connection to your MapleSim model.
You can also create physical components in Maple with easy-to-use templates in which you only have to write down the equations that define the component’s dynamics.

- World's Best Technology for Multibody Mechanical Systems
Enabling you to create high-speed models of realistic real-world multibody systems
MapleSim exploits the world’s best technology for modeling and simulating 2D and 3D multibody mechanical systems. Its advanced multibody modelling technology combines state-of-the-art graph theoretic techniques with intuitive model-entry environment. MapleSim produces concise and efficient sets of kinematic and dynamic equations of the system model in symbolic form. No other product has access to this technology.

- World's Best Computational Engine
Lets you model previously intractable or computationally difficult systems
MapleSim builds on Maple’s extensive computational abilities to perform high-speed simulations of very complex models. Features such as equation generation, symbolic simplification and unit management are all made possible by the Maple mathematical engine.
MapleSim capabilities provided by Maple include
- The ability to model many previously intractable or computationally difficult systems through symbolic techniques that include elimination of redundant equations, separation of independent systems, large scale symbolic simplification
- The worlds best high index Differential Algebraic Equation solvers for multidomain modelling (existing tools may feature DAE solvers, but they tend to be highly domain-specific)

- MapleSim is Cost-Effective
Saves you money
MapleSim has the best price-to-functionality ratio compared to physical modeling tools. Whether you need single licenses or a global networked solution, we have the most cost-effective licensing on the market.

- MapleSim is Next Generation Technology
Giving less cluttered models and making it easier to simulate complex systems
Other tools for physical modeling have the inherited legacy of older technology. This means that workarounds and more blocks (which include dedicated blocks to instruct the tool to use slow numeric solvers) have to be used to model physical systems. This onscreen clutter makes it more difficult to model complex systems.
MapleSim is based on modern design principles that generate blocks diagrams with a far cleaner visual appearance.
