What's New in Maple Flow

The Maple Flow 2025 release takes your engineering design calculations to the next level with a fresh new interface, smart formatting features, AI-enabled tools, even more connectivity options, and our most powerful mathematical engine to date!

• Performance boost
  This release of Maple Flow has a significant boost to the math engine to easily keep stride with your calculation needs. The performance improvements help in the completion of complex calculations such as matrix operations, and larger worksheets execute faster – typically cutting the computation time in half!
• Introducing the new Ribbon-based Interface
  Access all your favorite commands and more from the simple menu tabs.
  
• Items are grouped logically with helpful icons and labels to offer a clean and contemporary feel.
  
• The ribbon provides contextual support. For example, if you click on a drawing on your workspace, you will see a new Draw tab for interacting with the illustration.
  
• Organize your worksheet with a Table of Contents
  With one click, Maple Flow can generate a Table of Contents (TOC) for easy navigation to each section by detecting certain text Styles and adding page numbering and hyperlinks. You can circulate your results and reports with confidence knowing that the embedded TOC links are also preserved when the worksheet is exported to a PDF.
  
• Expanded symbols palette
  By popular request, users can now click to add mathematical symbols and operators from the new Common Symbols palette directly into an open worksheet. This gives easy access to Boolean conditional operations, the phasor angle, set notation elements, and more.
  
• The AI Formula Assistant adds convenience to calculations
  Save time when tracking down common equations by using the built-in AI prompt to search for engineering and scientific formulas. The AI Formula Assistant uses third party large language models to gather related formulas along with notes and explanations, helping you to narrow down the entry you want. You can quickly insert the matching equation into your worksheet ready for evaluation.
  

• Turn your entire Maple Flow worksheet into a function
  You can now execute Maple Flow worksheets directly from within Maple or other Maple Flow documents, passing the inputs and receiving outputs as a command line, without sacrificing simplicity or readability. This makes it easier to perform parameter studies and optimizations, and pass in-depth analysis between design teams.
  
• Access your Maple Flow analysis from within Excel^®
  The Maple Flow Add-in for Excel lets you run Maple Flow worksheets from inside an Excel spreadsheet directly from the formula line. By using a simple table-based interface, project teams can leverage your deep analysis in Excel, and define inputs and outputs without writing code. Advanced users can write formulas in Excel to interrogate Flow worksheets, and use Excel's tools for parameter sweeps, analysis and optimization.
• Migrate your legacy Mathcad^® files to Maple Flow
  The Maple Flow Migration Assistant is a free add-on to Maple Flow 2025 that provides help when moving content from historical Mathcad 13, 14, and 15 worksheets. This can run as single file and batch conversion options to salvage design worksheets in .xmcd file format. This tool saves significant time for calculation sheets with simple through to intermediate levels of complexity. This is supplemented by the option of migration project support available from Maplesoft Engineering Services.

• Equations are now simpler to enter using the keyboard due to Maple Flow’s responsive equation editing capabilities.
• Large matrices are now scrollable and resizable as data is being input.
• Units-aware rounding allows results to be consistently formatted based on the units used.

Available to: Maple Flow customers who were enrolled in the Maplesoft Elite Maintenance Plan at the time of its release. (Customers who were not under EMP at that time can contact Maplesoft sales to obtain an upgrade.)
