My  post with a valid  question (second time) on the Migration Assistant add-on was deleted by a moderator who thought that it was spam.

I have decided to uninstall Maple Flow altogether and consider Smath Solver or CalcTree instead. It is unfortunate that Maple has such a bad customer service.

Hi Maple Flow users,

Today I was making a canvas covering the theory regarding transformers. I use units in my computations, and this is carried onto any plots I make. While I have figured out that the unit I use while defining the plot range on the x-axis is carried onto the plot, I am yet to figure out how to define the unit used on the y-axis.

Please have a look at this snapshot:

The y-axis unit is defined as kg/(A*s^2), while it should of course be in T (Teslas). How would I go about realising this?

And of course, if you have any other tips and tricks related to these kind of plots please feel free to share them :))

Kindly,
Asger

I have installed Maple Flow 2025 as a trial but have not been able to get the migration assistant add-on.

As part of evaluating Maple Flow, it is critical for me to try conversion of Mathcad 14 files.

Thanks.

When trying to open two files I got this message. The files were completely empty. Hours of work lost.

Also further trouble with the interface: copy and paste, modifying text, etc. do not work as they should. Could resolve some problems, but I am losing time and I doubt about the reliability of the software.

Any suggestion?

I'm new to MapleFlow, and I have a few questions about MapleFlow help.

1. I read the recent post about the release of MapleFlow 2025.2, and it mentions some new functionality and bug fixes.  Is there a "What's new in MaplleFlow 2025.2" section in a help file, online or offline, that lists the new features and bug fixes?
2. I can find Online Help for Maple, MapleSim and MapleSim Toolboxes, but I can't find a section for MapleFlow.  I realize that MapleFlow and Maple share a lot of functionality, so the Maple section covers the functions, but there are MapleFlow-specific features that don't seem to have their own section in the Online help.
3. The offline MapleFlow help seems rather dated and limited.  When was the last time any updates were made?  Are there plans to continue to improve the offline MapleFlow help?
4. I have a few tech support questions in, and I have received some feedback, but at least one has been sent to the Math group for review, and it's been about a week, and I've heard nothing.  Is there somewhere we can check the status of our tech support issues?

Thanks

I have attached a MapleFlow file that shows a result I don't quite understand.  For some reason the FinalValue result that I get using the DynamicSystems:-StepProperties is different than the steady state value from a DynamicSystems:-ResponsePlot to a unit step using a DifferentialEquation object.

You will notice that I played around a bit, including transforming the DiffEquation object to a TransferFunction object, to see if I could make sense of it.  All of the results are the same as the StepProperties result, it appears that only the ResponsePlot for the DifferentialEquation object is different.

Am I doing something wrong?  Does anyone have any ideas?

We've reached quite a rhythm with Maple Flow - we update frequently, we add lots of improvements and we move fast.

What does this mean for you? It means that the feedback loop between development, the user experience and course correction has a fast time constant.

Without you being loud and vociferous, the feedback loop breaks. So don't be shy - tell us what you want!.

The new 2025.2 update builds on the theme of connectivity with two popular tools - Excel and Python. On top of that, we also have many other features and fixes that you've asked for.

Earlier versions of Maple Flow let you 

• import and and export Excel data from Excel spreadsheets
• run Maple Flow worksheets in Excel with a mouse-driven UI to generate the communication glue

With the 2025.2 update, you can now copy and paste data from Excel into a Flow worksheet.

To be blunt, this is type of cross-application copy-paste behaviour is a no-brainer. It's such a natural workflow.

We've increasignly found that Python is now being used to script the interaction and data flow between different engineering tools. With Maple Flow 2025.2, you can now execute Maple Flow worksheets from a Python script. 

From Python, you can change and export any parameters and results defined in the worksheet

This gives me the dopamine hit of watching CPU utilization spike in the Task Manager (hey..I get my kicks where I can)

You can now do your parameter sweeps more quickly by executing the same worksheet in parallel, changing parameters for every run.

This is easy to set up - no special programming is needed.

• Print Extents can now be set globally for all sessions, or just for the current session.
• Any user-installed fonts used in the worksheet are now respected in the PDF export
• Worksheets execute faster
• The update includes fixes to many user-reported issues

You can install the Flow 2025.2 update via Help > Check for Updates (or if you're not already in the race, then grab a trial here and take Flow for a spin).

We're not pulling back on this aggresive development velocity, but we need you to point us in the right direction. Let's keep the feedback time constant small!

I'm doing some experimenting with the Optimization:-Maximize and Minimize functions, and I'm having difficulties getting them to find the actual extrema within a set of bounds.  I have found that the extrema they identify depend on the bounds, even when the same extrema lie within those bounds. I've also tried the initialpoint option to start the solution near the extrema and I've found three things: sometimes it works to get the correct solution, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes I get a message saying the initial point was ignored by the solver.

The problems I'm using are all taken from the Maple help or tutorials.

I haven't included a bunch of test cases but I've attached the Maple Flow file.  I have a suspicion it has to do with the second derivatives of the functions near the boundaries, but I'm not sure.

Can anyone point me to more information, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your help.

I have a problem where there is a true deadtime due to a transport delay.  The delay is in the order of 8 minutes as a fluid flows very slowly down a tube.

I've fit an expression to some measured data and have found the following expression

I'd like to work with this using the Dynamic Systems Package, so I'm trying to build a system from the time-domain expression.  When I try to use the inttrans:-laplace function to convert to the s-domain, I get an overflow.  If I manually express this as a Laplace transform and try to make a system and do a step response, I get this, with an error that "transfer function(s) are not rational-polynomial(s) in s"

Is a delay supported in the Dynamic Systems Package?  If so, could you provide guidance on how?

I tried this combination of transfer functions, and it appears that the PhasePlot isn't correct.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing the issue?

Hello, I am trying to get the Maple Flow add-in for Excel working and am following the step-by-step directions in Chapter 7.3 of the Maple Flow manual. My computer meets the requirements listed in Chapter 7.2.

After selecting the WMIMPLEX64.xla file as directed in the procedure, I get the following error in Excel:

The Excel toolbar also does not show the same six icons in the add-in toolbar that are shown in the Maple Flow manual (see the manual excerpt below); it appears that the missing icon is the key icon that would initiate the Maple Flow worksheet wizard.

If anybody has been able to get this to work or has suggestions to resolve these errors, I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Excerpt from the Maple Flow manual:

I'm experiencing weird behaviour when dragging a plot generated from a DynamicSystems function.  If I hide the command, the plot stretches vertically rather than moving when I drag it.  If I don't hide the command, it drags normally.

Is anyone else observing this behaviour, or does it have to do with my setup?

I've attached a simple example flow file.Odd_Plot_Drag_Behaviour.zip

I'm new to MapleFlow and I've been using the DynamicSystems package and I can't get the BodePlot function to display both the magnitude and the phase plot.  It only shows the magnitude plot.

I did some further testing by defining an array of plots and found the same thing, only the first entry at the [1,1] position displayed.

Are arrays of plots supported in MapleFlow or do I need to take a different approach?

I installed the latest 2025 recently and I encountered this issue. I never encountered this issue in 2024.

I also reset the configuration and reinstalled maple flow but it didn't solve anything.

Hello, is there a way to generate a warning or to flag instances in Maple Flow where a duplicate variable assignement is made? In the example below, I would like to know that I have re-defined x:

Thanks
