- Automatic symbolic simplification reduces equation complexity, improving simulation speed and robustness.
- Exports models as FMUs and generates C code for real-time deployment.
Product Description
Description
MapleSim is a simulation environment for building and analyzing dynamic system models. It supports modeling physical and control-oriented behavior to study system response over time, evaluate design decisions, and validate concepts before prototyping. Engineers use it to represent multi-domain interactions and explore performance under varying inputs and operating conditions.
Typical Use Cases
Electrical and mechanical engineers use MapleSim to simulate mechatronic systems where electrical drives, control logic, and mechanical loads interact. In robotics and automation, it is applied to studying motion and actuator behavior across operating scenarios. It is also used in automotive and aerospace engineering to evaluate dynamic performance early in development.
Professional Scope
For electrical and mechanical engineers, MapleSim helps assess system-level dynamics and interactions to support design decisions before hardware is built.
Ideal For
It suits engineering teams and individuals who want simulation capability with options ranging from a free trial through subscription to a lifetime license.
Access & Licensing
MapleSim is available via a free trial, with paid access offered through subscription or a lifetime license.
Platforms
It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
