Maplesoft MapleSim 7.0

Maplesoft has announced a new release of MapleSim, the advanced system-level modeling and simulation platform. This release makes it substantially easier to explore and validate designs, create and manage libraries of custom components, and use MapleSim models within the engineering toolchain.

MapleSim offers a modern approach to physical modeling and simulation, dramatically reducing model development and analysis time while producing fast, high-fidelity simulations. In MapleSim 7, a new results manager provides greater flexibility when investigating simulation results and exploring designs. It is now possible to compare multiple simulation runs at the click of a button, including simulations of a single model and simulations of different models. Engineers can instantly plot the behavior of any variable, including variables that were not explicitly probed during the simulation. Other tools available through the results manager include the ability to easily visualize the correspondence between the 2-D plot results and the 3-D visualization of the model during simulation.

MENTOR-GRAPHICS-FLOWMASTER

Mentor Graphics Corporation announced update for its Flowmaster 7.9.1 simulation software solution for thermo-fluid systems. This release contains several significant features for pre-processing, simulation, data management, and design collaboration.

Flowmaster has been the tool of choice for 1D thermo-fluid simulation of pipework networks and systems for more than 20 years. Based on Don Miller's "Internal Flow Systems," Flowmaster is unrivaled in terms of accuracy, flexibility and cross-industry appeal due to its superior transient solver. Flowmaster delivers results you can trust from the earliest stages of the design process.
Flowmaster version 7 is the leading general purpose 1D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solution for modeling and analysis of fluid mechanics and pipe/duct flow in complex systems.
