                      |  | June 21, 2011 at 10:00 AM EDT A new generation of engineering modeling and simulation technology is   emerging to speed up the development of sophisticated models for complex   machines. Tools such as MapleSim from Maplesoft deploy advanced   symbolic computation technology to simplify the complexity arising from   non-linear, multi-domain, and digital control applications (including   HIL simulation). This webinar presents the latest computational   techniques for accelerating model development while increasing model   fidelity and simulation performance. Based on the MapleSim platform, you   will learn about fundamental techniques and advantages of this approach   as compared to conventional software tools. Models developed with these   techniques offer greater fidelity, with less development effort, and   substantially faster real-time execution speed. Additionally, advanced   analytical techniques such as inverse kinematics, and parametric   optimization are more readily supported through this framework. 
 The speakers are two of the most accomplished experts in this new   generation of modeling technique. They will present real-world case   studies drawn from a variety of industries including auto, aerospace,   and advanced manufacturing.

        |  | This webinar presents a detailed case study of the recent McMaster   University initiative to enrich its cornerstone course. The key new   element is the introduction of a dynamic modeling software package to   allow students to analyze and explore the system dynamics, and   ultimately the design options, for a real system. Prior to this, the   course focused on development of the CAD model, and then essentially   guessing at possible modifications to the design to achieve a desired   design goal. This new approach introduces a true design iteration step.   From the CAD model, students can quickly develop a corresponding dynamic   model and systematically assess system performance for changes in   parameter values. |  |

                            | The Three Reservoir Problem Author: Maplesoft
 
 Three   reservoirs at different elevations are connected through a piping   network at a single point, with an outflow from the common junction.    This application will calculate the flowrates, flow directions and head   at the common junction.  This is a classic problem in hydraulic   engineering. Through an understanding of the concepts associated   therein, many hydraulic challenges can be solved.

                            | Countercurrent Double Pipe Heat Exchanger Author: Maplesoft
 
 This   application models the temperature dynamics of a countercurrent double   pipe heat exchanger. Three partial differential equations are derived   from heat balances across the tube- and shell-side liquids, and the tube   wall (accounting for heat flow from the shell- and tube-side liquids,   and conduction along the length of the tube).    The equations are solved numerically, and the temperature profiles are   plotted.  The heat exchanger is assumed to be perfectly insulated.   Densities, specific heat capacities, heat transfer coefficients, and   thermal conductivities are assumed to be constant.

                            | Tracking Data in Maple Author: John May
 
 This   application is partially inspired by the BMI tracker in Nintendo's   WiiFit application. It could be easily used to track a weight loss goal,   but could also be used to track other quantifiable goals. It also takes   advantage of two new features in Maple 15, specifically the Finance   package, and the DataTable document component.

                      | Simulation drives golf club innovation Motion System Design, May 4, 2011
 
 "When club   manufacturer Cleveland Golf wanted to increase the performance of its   drivers, the company turned to MapleSim, a physical modeling and   simulation tool from Maplesoft, Waterloo, Ontario, for assistance. In   particular, Cleveland Golf's engineering team wanted to investigate the   effects of different shaft designs on driver performance… By   using validated dynamic models of a golf driver, Cleveland Golf now   quickly explores different designs and “what if” scenarios to boost club   performance, and minimize the need for expensive prototypes and costs   associated with performing physical tests."
