I am creating a plot in Maple17 which will include many line segments and polygons.  I want the axes to be equally scaled, so that line segments that are perpendicular actually look perpendicular.  When I view what I have created so far, line segments that are perpendicular do not appear to be so in a plot, even though I used the "scaling=constrained" option several times.  I created a stripped-down file that isolates the problem.  Here it is:

Download perp.mw

An angle that should be a right angle looks obtuse in the plot.  I used "scaling=constrained" in both the "display" command and the "segp" procedure.  I am using "polygonplot" to plot line segments (degenerate polygons) because the final plot will contain genuine polygons and this seemed like the easiest way to do it.  If this is a bad idea for some reason I can change it.

according to this page  http://www.maplesoft.com/products/maple/new_features/codeeditor.aspx

it says "Maple 17 features a completely new editor for writing Maple code."  but for the last 15 minutes I've been looking in my Maple 17.02 for windows and not able to figure where this editor is or how to start it.

When I open Maple, I say File->New-> and nothing there for an editor.

I also looked in my Maple installation icons group, there is nothing there.

I also looked here http://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=updates/Maple17/CodeEditor

"Maple 17 features a completely new editor for writing Maple code.   The editor includes many features to make it easier to write, read, and debug Maple code, such as syntax highlighting, bracket matching, command completion, and automatic indenting. The new editor is available for managing startup code, inline code edit regions, and code attached to embedded components."

but again, does not say anything about how to START it ? Or is this editor a separate apps I need to buy?

Hello,

I study the model of crankshaft in MapleSim.

For the moment, i manage to plot different parameters function of the time. For exemple, the angle of the crank function of the time or the displacement of the slider function of the time.

But, i like to plot the displacement of the slider funtion of the angle of the crank.

Is it possible and how can i do this?

Thank you for your help.

so would anybody know how to write a function that checks whether two line segments intersect?  each line segment is given a list [[a,b],[x,y]] , of 2 lists with 2 numbers in each.   

it should return  "True" if ∃s,t ∈ [0,t] : sa+(1-s)b =tx+(1-t)y ,  else"False"

 I haven't a clue so any help would be appreciated,

thanks in advance.

I can't seem to find what's wrong with this function:

F:= x-> (-c-ax)/b;
G:=x-> (-d-ex)/f;
If -a/b = -e/f then print (false) else print (true); end if;

Hey all new to Maplesoft my question is this;

i have 3 equations which contains both numeric and symbols, how can i seprrate these to ?
for example :

> restart:
> eq1:=a[1]^3+a[2]+a[3]^2+50;

> eq2:=a[1]^2+5*a[2]+a[3]+44;

> eq3:=a[1]+a[2]+a[3]^2+74;

i want maple to seprate these three equations in two vectors,first vector including symbols and second one includes numerics , like this :
V1:=<<a[1]^3+a[2]+a[3]^2>,<a[1]^2+5*a[2]+a[3]>,<a[1]+a[2]+a[3]^2>>;

V2:=<<50>,<44>,<74>>;

eq:=<<eq1>,<eq2>,<eq3>>;

so that 

is(V1+V2=eq);

gives me the answer true.
tnx for help.

Hello,

For a control systems project I'am working on I need to minimize the actuator effort required to control an input voltage to certain output voltage. As a first experiment I chose a sinusoidal input ug and a sinusoidal output ul. The function to minimize is the funtion Uint. We know that when both the input voltage and output voltage share the frequency, phase and amplitude, that the control effort is zero. Running the animation (see Maple input below) shows that if the input and output voltage frequencies approach eachother the function Uint goes to zero. However, if the frequencies exactly match and I evaluate the function Uint I get a devision by zero notification (this could already be seen from the function of Uint). How can I solve this?

I have just started using Maple 17 for general relativity, and I have managed to set up coordinates and enter a somewhat complicated spacetime metric, and to find the Killing vectors for the metric.

I can't seem to do something much more basic, though, initialize the components of a vector field as functions of the coordinates.

For example, how would I set up a 4-vector field A such that the contravariant component A^3 = cosh(x2), where x2 is one of my coordinates?

Thanks.

So I am working on doing some trajectory simulations in Maple using standard Newton's Laws, some force expressions, and initial conditions.

Anyway, the numerical solution works fine if I let the initial conditions I specified (for z=-1) be actually for z=-0.9. To illustrate, when I give an initial condition like this:

x(-1) = x_0, D(x)(-1) = xd_0, Vz(-1) = v_0

the results don't make any sense. However, when using the same x_0, xd_0, and v_0 and I give initial conditions like this:

x(-.9) = x_0, D(x)(-.9) = xd_0, Vz(-0.9) = v_0,

the solutions at least make a bit of sense.

What's weird is that, when I let z -> 0.93 or so, the solution changes discontinuously. And this shouldn't happen. The initial conditions were calculated for and should work for z = -1. I don't understand why they aren't.

Here is my Maple document. ics1 are the problem.

Do you guys have any idea what could be going on?
