A Flight into the Future with MapleSim Dr. Richard Gran is well placed to appreciate the benefits modern technology has brought to modeling and simulation. As a key member of the NASA team that designed the digital flight control system for the Apollo Lunar Module in the 1960s, he spent many months developing a FORTRAN simulation on an IBM 7090 to verify the design. Now the president and CEO of The Mathematical Analysis Company, he uses MapleSim™ to reduce the time it takes to develop physical models and prototype control systems.
MapleSim used in the field of renewable energy engineering MapleSim™ is a high-performance multi-domain modeling and simulation tool that is based on an intuitive block-diagram design. It allows engineers to simulate complex systems quickly by dragging, dropping, and connecting a wide range of pre-built physical components from multiple physical domains. It also provides an environment for creating new components.

Finding Faults Bob Beasant has a firm eye on the future. He is an engineer at Kelvatek, a supplier to the Electricity Supply Industry specializing in the low voltage distribution sector. He recently chose Maple™ and MapleSim™ as his preferred toolset because his projects demand superior modeling and simulation technology. He intends to use both tools to help him create new algorithms and improve existing ones in the field of fault location on underground electricity cables.
Modeling and simulation of vehicle dynamics for better design process During the process of designing an automobile, the time required to build a model of a vehicle is critical in determining the time-to-market for the finished product. Before investing huge amounts of money to create a prototype of the vehicle, it is important for the design team to create a model to understand the dynamics of many subsystems and their interactions.

Automotive Battery Model Gives Better Results by Incorporating Both Electrical and Thermal Characteristics - The challenge of this project was to create an electrical and thermal model of a lead-acid automotive battery. The behavior of lead-acid batteries is extremely nonlinear and depends on numerous factors, including the temperature, rate of charge or discharge, and the state of charge. Far from being a simple constant voltage source, a battery’s voltage will change under these varying operating conditions.
Excavator Component Supplier Reduces Effort, Improves Results, and Satisfies Clients by Replacing Aging In-House Software with Modern Modeling Tools - A machine component designer company needs an excavator model to illustrate how well its components would fit within the whole excavator system. As it is a component supplier, the company does not have the resources or sufficient knowledge to create a detailed model of the full system using traditional tools. Yet, it needs to be able to assure prospective customers that its components will perform within the desired specifications.
Mechanical/Hydraulic Model Used to Increase Loading Capacity of Hydraulic Scissor Lift - Scissor lifts enable access to elevated work areas by raising a gantry with a scissor mechanism. The ascent is controlled with hydraulic cylinders actuated by fluid from a sump, while the descent is controlled by the slow release of the fluid back into the sump.
Physical Parameters Can be Modified Directly in Comprehensive Touch Screen Model - The challenge of this project is to create a model of a capacitive touch screen, including physical modeling of a user’s finger, the touch screen materials, and the touch-detection circuitry. A capacitive touch screen works by measuring the change in capacitance between two conductors caused by a nearby finger. In the touch screen, two transparent conductors, which run in perpendicular directions, are separated by the screen. These conductors act as a parallel-plate capacitor where they overlap; the capacitance is determined by numerous physical parameters. For example, the conductor width, length, resistivity, and separation, along with the screen material properties and thickness, all affect the coupling between the conductors.
