The connector automatically converts high-fidelity MapleSim models into high-performance, real-time applications running on the dSPACE DS1104 R&D Controller Board. Since this solution does not require the MathWorks® toolchain, system modeling, control design, and real-time implementation can be done in a single environment at a fraction of the cost.
Engineers can ensure fast execution without loss of model fidelity by taking advantage of efficient model formulation and optimized code generation in MapleSim. MapleSim is a physical modeling and simulation tool built on a foundation of symbolic computation technology. It efficiently handles all of the complex mathematics involved in the development of engineering models, including multi-domain systems, plant modeling, and control design. With MapleSim, engineers develop high-fidelity, high performance models in a fraction of the time it would take with other tools. In addition to the dSPACE DS1104 R&D Controller Board, MapleSim models can also be exported directly to Simulink®, LabVIEW™, and NI VeriStand™ for real-time implementation in hardware-in-the-loop systems, as well as, to stand-alone applications for fast simulations.
“The launch of the MapleSim Connector for dSPACE Systems represents a major milestone in the development of our engineering tools,” says Paul Goossens, Vice-President of Application Engineering at Maplesoft. “Maplesoft customers will benefit from this solution immediately through the time and cost savings that come with using this product, and will see even more benefits as we further strengthen the connection between these powerful technologies.”
