MapleSim Pneumatics Library

Maplesoft has announced the release of the MapleSim Pneumatics Library from Modelon, an add-on component library to MapleSim, the system-level modelling and simulation platform. This library can be used in the modelling and simulation of pneumatic systems for system design, component sizing and control design, with applications that include construction equipment, machine design and commercial vehicle design.

With the MapleSim Pneumatics Library from Modelon, engineers can access the component library from Modelon in the MapleSim environment, allowing them to take advantage of MapleSim’s approach to physical modelling and simulation. Using MapleSim and the pneumatics library, engineers can dramatically reduce model development and analysis time and produce fast, high-fidelity simulations of their system-level models involving pneumatics.

Engineers can choose from over 100 components to model cylinders, motors, valves, nozzles, lumped volumes, lines and sensors. For advanced applications, they can customise and extend components as needed. Because this library is fully integrated into MapleSim, engineers can also access the underlying system equations for advanced analysis, parameter optimisation and visualisation, and generate highly efficient, royalty-free simulation code suitable for real-time and in-the-loop simulations.
