MapleSim™ Connector for LabVIEW™ and NI VeriStand™ Software lets users better manage complex enginee
Maplesoft™ (Waterloo, Canada) has announced a product upgrade that extends connectivity to key hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) products from National Instruments™ (NI). In addition to connectivity to NI LabVIEW™, which was announced recently, this updated MapleSim add-on, which is available from Adept Scientific (Letchworth, Herts), also lets users connect to the new NI VeriStand™ product.
[UKPRwire, Mon Feb 08 2010] NI VeriStand™ is a ready-to-use software environment for configuring real-time testing applications, including HIL test systems. The MapleSim Connector for LabVIEW™ and NI VeriStand™ Software integrates MapleSim's rich modelling environment into the popular LabVIEW™ and NI VeriStand™ real-time platforms. Engineers using LabVIEW™ or NI VeriStand™ can quickly develop and optimise complex engineering system models in the intuitive visual modelling environment of MapleSim.
Key benefits of this product include the following:
• Complex engineering system models can be developed and optimised rapidly in the intuitive visual modelling environment of MapleSim.
• High-performance, high-fidelity MapleSim models are automatically converted to user-code blocks for easy inclusion in LabVIEW™ VIs and NI VeriStand™ applications.
• Model code is fully optimised for high-speed real-time simulation, allowing users to get the performance needed for HIL testing without sacrificing fidelity.
“Through this collaboration, HIL testing and simulation will become faster and more convenient for our users,” said Chris Washington, Real-Time Testing Product Manager at National Instruments. “MapleSim’s high performance, coupled with the connector product’s ability to provide real-time simulation, will provide NI customers with powerful and efficient tools to address complex engineering processes.”
