Hello, I am trying to use the annotation plot option to display coordinates in a function such as the example below that I created and successfully executed in Maple Flow::

However, when I apply this to another function that I have created, I cannot get the coordinate annotations to display. It appears to me that the syntax is correct and matches my example above, but there is something not correct and I am not seeing the problem. If anybody has any suggestions, I would appreciate any help.

Probably an odd question, but please bear with me.

Mechanical design guy, previous Mathcad user. Liking Mapleflow alot. My issue is maple flow does not see any subfolders within the PDM "vault". The vault is designed to act with, and just like File Explorer. So I can paste mapleflow files into a subfolder within the vault, I can double click and open the file up. But when you "save as" the file, Mapleflow only sees the root directy. No other folder structure with the vault. So it makes it impossible to use the vaults functionality out side of manually copying and pasting files after the fact to where you want them. Note that he vault is desgned to use any file type. It's the Mapleflow application that's can't seem to see subfolders inside the "Vaults" root directory. Note that I've never see this with any other file type or application if many years of PDM use.

I am on the EMP plan so I'd sure be interested to have someone look at this?

Thanks for any insight!

I'm experiencing weird behaviour when dragging a plot generated from a DynamicSystems function.  If I hide the command, the plot stretches vertically rather than moving when I drag it.  If I don't hide the command, it drags normally.

Is anyone else observing this behaviour, or does it have to do with my setup?

I've attached a simple example flow file.Odd_Plot_Drag_Behaviour.zip

I'm new to MapleFlow and I've been using the DynamicSystems package and I can't get the BodePlot function to display both the magnitude and the phase plot.  It only shows the magnitude plot.

I did some further testing by defining an array of plots and found the same thing, only the first entry at the [1,1] position displayed.

Are arrays of plots supported in MapleFlow or do I need to take a different approach?

Hello, I have a Maple Flow worksheet that is formatted with a basic style template using headings and sections so that I can auto generate the table of contents. All of the numbered sections are in order, top-to-bottom in the worksheet. However, when Maple Flow auto generates the table of contents, it consistently gets the sections out of order - see a screenshot below - note Section 2 is at the end of the table of contents. The page numbers appear to be correct, but the physical placement of Section 2 is not. 

If anybody has encountered this problem in Maple Flow, I would appreciate some suggestions.

Thanks

I installed the latest 2025 recently and I encountered this issue. I never encountered this issue in 2024.

I also reset the configuration and reinstalled maple flow but it didn't solve anything.

I have a matrix that I am using for the entries in a drop down list to select.

When I type in the following text

"FBE (CDS 1), 3 LPE (CDS 2) and 3 LPP (CDS 3) with concrete"

(including the quotation marks), I get an error "unable to delimit strings/identifiers"

What is going on?  Why is Flow not treating the entry as text, and trying to parse the contents?

Hello, is there a way to generate a warning or to flag instances in Maple Flow where a duplicate variable assignement is made? In the example below, I would like to know that I have re-defined x:

In addition to the discussion on the desirability of having % available as a unit, I have a need to develop quantities that numerically have a unit of 1, such as per unit (pu), with pu:=1, and 1 pu = 100%. It is straightforward to define custom unit pu. However, the problem is that I end up getting numbers such as 16.60% pu (see below, should be one unit or the other, pu or %, not both):

 

Curiously, if I click on the pu designation at variable X__dppv , Maple Flow removes the pu duplication and somehow knows that % is the intended unit:

Percent_Ex.zip

For a document that extensively uses per unit and % quantities, it is a lot of extra work to have to evaluate the decimal quantities first, then changing to % in the context menu, and then manually correcting all of the display issues with % and pu conflicts. Maple Flow does not seem to "remember" the result of the manual unit selection described above between file editing sessions. It also does not remember several other things related to formatting, container placement and spacing, column vectors not retaining a manually adjusted width, and section layout, but those are different issues. 

I have noticed other examples of not remembering the correct units. For example, I have calculations where Maple Flow automatically returned a unit of 1/S in an initial calculation evaluation and I changed this in the context menu to ohms. Similar to the above discussion, upon re-opening the file, 1/S units appear. I cannot get that issue to consistently repeat, so it is not in the example Maple Flow document attached to this post, but the end result is the same - lots of re-formatting of the document from editing session to editing session.

It would be nice if Maple Flow could recognize units that are numerically 1 so that they can be defined for display/documentation, added as necessary, but the result computed such that it is multiplication by 1 with no extra unit added. For example, enter 0.166 pu such that it evaluates to 0.166, with the option of then displaying as a percentage or re-displaying as per unit using the context menu. It would also be nice if Maple Flow could consistently remember the last retained unit used in an editing session as well as all document formatting. 

Thanks

I have a function that calculates a volume in mm^3, but for the purposes of plotting, I would like to plot the values as m^3.

How do I specify that the units to be plotted are m^3, have Flow convert the values to m^3, from mm^3 and show that the units for the axis are m^3?

I have tried using the useunits[m,m^3] function, but the graph does not change the value of the units, and it does not display the units of the result on the graph axis.

Also, is there a good quick reference for all of the options available for the plot command?  The user manual has very little, and the tutorial file only gives limited examples also.

I am trying to integrate a function in Maple Flow, that uses units.

When I use units of metres, the integration works.  If I mix the units, or I use millimetres throughout the equation, it does not work.

I have attached the sample worksheet, which shows the problem.

How do I enter a number as an actual percentage?  I know that I can enter a number as a fraction, and then redisplay the number formatted as a percentage, but I would like to be able to type in that a variable is 10%, not have to type in that it is 0.1, then convert it to percent.  I would like Maple Flow to figure out what it is, because I typed in, in effect, it's units.

I have bought Maple Flow 2025 and trying to use it in an effective way. While doing this I noticed some little issues that could be improved.

1. When typing text it would be nice that the cursor goes automatically to the next line when at the border of chosen paper size (e.g. A4).

2. It would be nice that you could separate the containers when they overlap by using 1 button. Now you can align containers vertically but it would be nice if you can do that also horizontally.

I also have a question, is it possible to place a section in another section as you can in Maple or is this not possible? 

I was wondering why there is no longer a separate section for Maple Flow under the tab "Products". As syntax is not always the same between Maple and Maple Flow it would be nice to ask specific questions. Also why is there no suggestion tag for maple flow?

Thank you for any information

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to load complete Maple packages into Maple Flow?
