Maplesoft will be joining Innovatrix as a Gold Sponsor for the upcoming 4th Battery Gigafactory Summit USA: Advances In Planning, Engineering And Operations, taking place on October 28-29, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Maplesoft is a global provider of engineering software solutions, providing designers and manufacturers with greater insight into the behavior of their products and processes. For battery cell manufacturers, the MapleSim advanced system-level modeling tool applies modern simulation techniques to give quick answers to complex performance questions. Models of anode, cathode and separator web lines can be used to develop and test web tension control strategies, and to improve converting and winding processes.
Flexible Modeling Environment
MapleSim provides a powerful, math-aware programming language for developing customized analyses, such as inverse kinematics, vibration analysis, and much more. Based on the open standard Modelica modeling language, it offers:
- Support for importing Modelica libraries and models
- Access to the underlying Modelica code for any component and subsystem.
- MapleSim models can be saved directly as Modelica files, and the model topology and presentation information is preserved as well as the equations.
- Natural math notation and units-aware variables in analysis and design documents.
- Users can easily refine the model by accessing the system-level equations and parameters and use them to test concepts and apply simulation analysis.
Multidomain Machine Design
MapleSim makes it simple to build a system-based model that responds to simulated conditions that mimic the real world and shows the interactions across many engineering domains.
- Rapidly develop multibody simulations of your mechanism, either from a “back-of-a-napkin” sketch or by importing the mechanism assembly from your CAD tool.
- Determine and test the required joint motions to give the desired end-effector motion.
- Right-size the actuator components (hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders, motors, gears, bearings etc.) based on the dynamic loads due to complex inertial loads, friction and driven motion.
- Integrate actuator models with the mechanism for virtual testing of the complete machine.
PLC Connectivity for Automation Systems
MapleSim generates fast and efficient model code optimized for standard automation platforms. By integrating your controller software with a MapleSim model, you can:
- Take the guesswork out of machine design by using virtual prototypes for simulation-based motor sizing, PLC code testing, inverse-kinematics and more.
- Speed up the development of control strategies when commissioning a new machine.
- Test PLC code in real-time for systems that require fast simulation speed.
- Use 3-D visualizations to provide quick visual feedback on tests using automation software or the MapleSim Insight add-on.
Fast Simulation Code
Whether you are working on hardware, software, or operator-in-the-loop applications, it is critical that your system models have the fidelity to provide accurate results but can still run on a real-time platform within the simulation time step.With MapleSim, you do not have to choose between model fidelity and real-time performance.
- Develop code with the fastest possible execution time for your model.
- Maintain model integrity throughout the code optimization process using MapleSim’s lossless equation simplification.
- Tune your model with domain-specific components and specialist applications from the MapleSim add-on libraries.
- Integrate the MapleSim simulation code into popular real-time toolchains and other target destination applications, royalty-free.
- Replace the physical components of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulations with a virtual HIL model when testing and designing vehicle control systems.
