Alan,
Yes, these are MapleSim models (or more generally, any Modelica program) we're turning into Mathcad functions. We've translated models as simple as RLC circuits to models as complex as electromagnetic solenoids and vehicle dynamic simulations from MapleSim to Mathcad.
The code is numerically efficient, and the solvers can handle differential algebraic equations. The functions are implemented as DLLs, so end-users need MapleSim for modifications.
The code generation from MapleSim is point-and-click, but the compilation into DLLs requires copying/pasting into a Visual Studio project and some manual (but well-understood) tweaking.
It's an interesting method of working, and one that's new to Mathcad users. I wanted to establish the potential applications, and the use-cases once your functions are in Mathcad.
- Parameter sweeps and optimziation?
- Documentation?
- Distribution to a larger audience?
