Here are some tips and tricks - ranging from keyboard shortcuts to the newest features - that will help you get the most out of MapleSim 2015.

1. Quickly run your simulation by pressing F5. Similarly, toggle between the Main Window and Visualization Window by press F6.
   
   
2. Maintaining an organized and clean model layout is made easier by using the Reroute Connections tool. Select the connection lines or components and press CTRL+D (or using the Edit menu, Reroute Connections) to have MapleSim automatically reroute the connections.
   
   
3. While creating your MapleSim model, components and connections can be enabled or disabled by selecting the desired item(s) and using the disable/enable button (  ) or the keyboard shortcut CTRL+E.
   
   
4. Use the Model Tree palette in MapleSim to help manage, navigate, and search a model quickly. Items within the model tree include: components, probes, parameters, and attachments. Simply select the desired view using the drop-down menu. The Model Tree palette is found under the Project tab.
   
   
5. Automatically remove any unreferenced subsystems or custom components using the Prune Model tool. Especially useful for large models or models with multiple modifications, this tool will automatically identify and removes unused shared subsystems or custom components that appear within the Definitions tab, Components palette. The Prune Model function can be performed by clicking the Edit menu, and selecting Prune Model.
   
   
6. Set the MapleSim’s Visualization Window to always on top by toggling the anchor button (  ) in the upper left corner of the Visualization Window.
   
   
7. Automatically scale the model diagram to fit in the viewable area by pressing CTRL+T to gain a complete look at the model. Then return to a default zoom by pressing CTRL+0 (zero). This is also accessible using the View menu.
   
   
8. To group components into a subsystem, select the desired components, right-click and select Create Subsystem or press CTRL+G.
   
   
9. For quick access to get help on a particular component, right-click on it and select help. Similarly, selecting a component within the workspace and pressing F2 will bring up the help page for that component.
   
   
10. View the Modelica code behind the visible system/subsystem/component, click Code View (  ) in the Navigation Tool bar. Then, to switch back to Diagram Mode click the icon (  ) in the Navigation Tool bar.
    
    
11. Automatically compare two models by using the compare tool, found under the Tools menu Compare Models.
    
    
12. Attach important files to a MapleSim model to keep content in one place. Attachments can be Maple worksheets or others such as pdfs, Excel, Word, STL files, etc. These files are found under the Project Tab, Attachments palette. Attach a file by, right-clicking the category and selecting Attach File or clicking the Edit menu Attach File.
