We have just released updates to Maple and MapleSim, which provide corrections and improvements to product functionality.

As usual, the Maple update is available through Tools>Check for Updates in Maple, and is also available from our website on the Maple 2018.2.1 download page, where you can also find more details.

For MapleSim users, use Help>Check for Updates or visit the MapleSim 2018.2.1 download page.

We have just released an update to Maple, Maple 2018.2. This release includes improvements in a variety of areas, including code edit regions, Workbooks, and Physics, as well as support for macOS 10.14.

For MapleSim users, the update includes optimizations for handling large models, improvements to model import and export, updates to the hydraulics and pneumatics libraries, and more. For more details and download instructions, visit the MapleSim 2018.2 download page.

As you may have already heard, in order accelerate the growth of our different product lines, Maplesoft decided to spin off our online education products into a separate company. Let me introduce you to DigitalEd.

DigitalEd will focus on online education technology, including online courseware, testing and assessment, and placement testing (i.e. Möbus, Maple T.A., and the Maple T.A. MAA Placement Test Suite). Maplesoft will continue to develop and support Maple, MapleSim, and their related products, for both academic and professional use.  The two companies will maintain close ties, and Maple will continue to supply the mathematical engine to the DigitalEd product line.

For more information about this change, see https://www.maplesoft.com/digitaled/

We have released an update to Maple, Maple 2018.1. This release provides enhancements to the mathematical computation engine, including physics and DEs.  It also provides substantial improvements to the command line version, easier access to group management tools in the MapleCloud, and a few other interface improvements.

This update is available through Tools>Check for Updates in Maple, and is also available from our website on the Maple 2018.1 download page, where you can also find more details.

We have just released a new version of MapleSim.  The MapleSim 2018 family of products offers new tools for developing digital twins, greater connectivity with other modeling tools, and expanded modeling scope. Improvements include:

• New tools for creating motion profiles
• FMI  import for FMI 2.0 Fixed-Step Co-Simulation
• Optimized handling of large models
• Inclusion of temperature effects in the MapleSim Hydraulics Library from Modelon and MapleSim Pneumatics Library from Modelon
• Heat transfer through air and water with the MapleSim Heat Transfer Library from CYBERNET
