MapleSim - Why use Physical Modelling
Modeling a double mass spring-damper system - The MapleSim model
maps directly to the physical components of the model, whereas the
traditional block diagram is much more complex, harder to produce,
and looks nothing like the original system representation. |
With traditional tools, even a simple system is onerous to model. First,
you need to manually derive the equations of motion, and then manipulate
them into a form that can be entered into a block diagram representation.
With the cutting-edge physical modeling techniques in MapleSim, you
simply re-create the system diagram on a screen and the equations of
the model are automatically generated. A model maps directly to each
physical component, showing how those components are connected together,
and the equations of motion are generated. This approach can save hours,
even days on complex applications.
Toyota,
who has recently entered into a joint project with Maplesoft™,
has been one of the earliest among industrial companies to embrace this
approach to physical modeling: the concept of creating a computer-based
model of a system to analyze, test, improve, and optimize the design
before actually building the physical system. |
