I was wondering if there is a way to measure/extract the contact forces that occur during a contact event? Preferably I would like to visualize the contact forces in the 3D result view.

I would also like to extract information about slippage in a contact.

Is this somehow possible?

I cannot find an explanation why a boolean evaluation with higher Digits is not the same

RealRange seems to be evaluated differently.
Any explanation for that?

I was about to review a piece of code which is the "main procedure" of a worksheet (as one would say in other languages).

What I mean by that are the top level code statements of a Maple worksheet which are not part of procedures. For the code example I can easily put everything into a procedure and invoke the Maple debugger. For larger worksheets this becomes complicated.

For this reason I was wondering whether the debugger can also be started for a complete document.

For a month I did do not get email notfications.

I checked spam folders, settings and email filters.

Is it only me?

Why does dsolve not call odetest by default before a solution is returned?

I mean, why do I have test each result separately. dsolve could have an odetest option (default=true).

In case of discrepancies dsolve could inform the user and suggest to call dsolve with odetest=false and run odetest separately to analyse the problem.

Set up this way, dsolve would never return potentially incorrect solutions that do not pass odetest.
