Maple 12 is compatible with CAD systems

Paul Boughton

Maplesoft is releasing Maple 12, the latest version of the company's popular software for solving complex mathematical problems and creating rich technical documents. Maple 12 introduces an extensive range of new tools built on Maple's fundamental technology platform of smart documents, powerful mathematics, and seamless connectivity to the engineering design toolchain.

One of the most significant features of this release is the direct connectivity between Maple 12 and popular CAD systems such as Solidworks and Autodesk Inventor. CAD users will now be able to deploy powerful mathematical capabilities to extend the range of analysis available on CAD models.

Based on major industry trends and extensive consultation with its user base, the product also offers new ways to develop sophisticated mathematical models faster and more accurately than before.

A new collection of Dynamic Systems modelling tools - which are essential in dynamic modelling, control design, and signal processing - is yet another important addition to the new release. These tools will add convenient frequency domain analysis, state space analysis and more to Maple's already extensive mathematical tool set.

Jim Cooper, CEO of Maplesoft, states: “Maple 12 offers a bold new set of features to dramatically extend the analytical reach of engineers. Many of the new features truly break new ground and set the stage for great levels of analytical productivity. I am confident that Maple 12 will spark greater creativity, efficiency and effectiveness in design and analysis.”

Maple's smart document technology is also greatly enhanced, with a range of new and improved features such as customisable interactive components, a code editor and 'clickable' enhancements.
