Maplesoft Enhances Simulink Connectivity with New Tool
MaplesoftT announced the launch of BlockImporter for Simulink®, a MapleT add-on tool that further enhances connectivity with the MathWorks® suite of products. The new product imports Simulink® diagrams into Maple and converts them to mathematical expressions for analysis and problem-solving.
Once these diagrams are converted into mathematical equations, they can be analyzed, optimized, and simplified, then converted back to Simulink using another Maplesoft product, BlockBuilderT. This enables the user to validate the mathematical integrity of the model, perform further analysis, document the system, eliminate algebraic loops, and increase Simulink execution speed.
"Simulink is an excellent tool for defining mathematical models using schematic blocks. However, many engineers experience problems when the project becomes large and/or when several people contribute to the model," said Jim Cooper, CEO and President, Maplesoft. "With BlockImporter for Simulink, engineers can validate such complex models easily, and significantly increase speed without losing model fidelity."
BlockImporter joins a comprehensive suite of offerings from Maplesoft that support MathWorks products. This includes the Maple Toolbox for MATLAB® and BlockBuilder for Simulink.
Availability and Pricing
Professional, single user licenses of BlockImporter for Simulink are available for $4995. Maplesoft is also offering a bundle of BlockImporter and BlockBuilder for $5995. Academic and volume discounts are available. The product is available directly from the Maplesoft Web Store and via Maplesoft Sales at 1-800-267-6583. Outside of the US & Canada, it can be obtained from Maplesoft's reseller partners. A list of partners is available online at http://www.maplesoft.com/contact/international/index.aspx .
