MapleSim is a tool for modeling and analyzing mechatronic systems that relieves the burden typically associated with using traditional simulation tools to develop high-fidelity models.  This next-generation graphical tool will dramatically reduce your time and costs associated with up-front analysis, virtual prototyping, and parameter optimization of system designs.  With its intuitive, multi-domain modeling environment and powerful multibody modeling tools, MapleSim is uniquely suited to developing mechatronic systems, including applications such as robotics, guidance systems, active stabilizers, vibration attenuators, and "X-by-wire" systems found in road vehicles and aircraft.

In this presentation, a modeling and simulation expert from Maplesoft will demonstrate MapleSim's unique capabilities when designing systems where open-loop, closed-loop, kinematic, and dynamic behaviors need to be considered.  Tools for transferring work into an existing control development toolchain, and real-time simulation systems (for hardware-in-the-loop testing) will also be presented.
