Maplesoft Launches MapleSim Pneumatics Library

Maplesoft has released the MapleSim Pneumatics Library from Modelon. This add-on component library can be used for systems design, component sizing and control design applications.

With the new library, engineers can choose from over 100 components to model cylinders, motors, valves, nozzles, lumped volumes, lines, and sensors. For advanced applications, they can customize and extend components as needed. Because this library is fully integrated into MapleSim, engineers can also access the underlying system equations for advanced analysis, parameter optimization, and visualization and generate highly efficient, royalty-free simulation code suitable for real-time and in-the-loop simulations, the company states.

“The MapleSim Pneumatics Library is a good example of why Maplesoft supports the Modelica standard,” says Laurent Bernardin, executive vice president and chief scientist, Maplesoft. “By making Modelica foundational to MapleSim, our customers can benefit from the work done by Modelon to create high fidelity models of pneumatics systems. Companies that adopt the Modelica open standard enable their customers to efficiently combine products and expertise from a variety of sources, so they can leverage the best tools for their needs and achieve their own goals more easily.”
