I've read that WSL is more of a compatibility layer to run Linux binaries and WSL2 is a virtual machine with subset of Hyper-V (whatever that exactly is). There are other virtual machines that apprently do not rely on WSL.

Not sure if WSL is powerfull ennough to run a linux distribution (which one?)  that is powerfull ennough to run a desktop environement (is that needed and if yes, which one?).

Quite some combinations...

Did you try editing (more->edit) and deleting the link?

@acer It was sufficient to copy this file

Thank you

This GUI is a huge step. GUI design is a particularly thankless task. You cannot please everyone. If something doesn't work, there is immediate criticism. If it is done well, people wonder why it was so complicated and why it took so long.
I hope your pupils will welcome it already and don't expect smartphone perfection.

After all, I did not expect a new GUI and I am not forced to use it yet.

@Scot Gould 

I could not drag it at all. I had to close the session.

@nm 

Nvidia Control Panel allows to set the graphics adapter. Testwise you could set Maple

to the internal adapter and see if that has an effect. I have not seen a performance degradation with internal graphics when using Maple.

@acer 

No problem. I opted for classic because old sounded negative to me. English is not my mother tounge, but perhaps "previous" would  have better avoided negative connotations.

Was this the classic GUI shipped in parallel with the first Java GUI?

Windows key with arrow up (to maximize) does not work.

Windows key with arrow down (to minimize) works. I get a large window that I can move to the left (grabbing the title bar) until the window controls become visible which  allow me then to maximize. Manual resizing is also possible.

Complicated but acceptable for a short-term until window control gets improved.

Thanks

Update:

The work-around only works when the display resolution decreases. Increasing it leads to a small window (in red) that can neither be minimizied nor maximized

@Christian Wolinski 

Both do not work but thank you for these ways I did not think of.

On your clips I see a frozen mouse pointer in the middle of the screen and an actvie pointer doing many things (very fast). Was it you moving the mouse or someone/something else? The GUI can't simply chatch up in processing all the input. Are the clips speed up or does it really happen that fast?

It could be that the new GUI control is currently not implemented in a way that one GUI action has to complete before annother can start. Could you try the "old GUI" version of Maple 2025?

@nm 

Neat: Like a drink served alone, at room temperature, without any ice, water, or mixers.

My build `Standard Worksheet Interface, Maple 2025.0, Windows 10, March 24 2025 Build ID 1909157` is the same as yours. Very strange. Someone else should test it on Linux.

@Carl Love 

I was about to ask the same after reading ?worksheet,managing,preferences. I overlooked the option several times.

The file menu is the appropriate place for options. Why not using the gear icon?

@nm 

I tried it again on both GUIs with the same version as you. Still no error. I use Maple neat (without any startup code or special settings)

For this case you need FEM. I do not think that there are any formulas for this load case of a thickwalled and short tube. I would not trust any formula (which would need verification by FEM or experiments in any case).

The location of failure is unexpected. Linear theory would suggest the anchor point. Also with FEM I would expect the highest stresses at the anchor point and where the load is applied. If the failure really happens where you indicated it, it can only be explained with elasto-plastic deformation of the material. For that FEM has to solve the problem in many steps and apply  strain stress curves for principal stresses and shear stresses (which ever deforms first).

There is freeware FEM software available with which you could give it a try. Have a look at FreeCAD FEM. You should be able to calulate the onset of plastical deformation. I am not sure if crack propagation can be modeled. This is advanced in the sense that remeshing is required addtionally to solving a non-linear pde problem: With the propagation of a crack the stiffness matrix of the structure needs to be updated and inverted. That is computationally very expensive.

Since FEM calculations become more and more a comodity (who would have thought) you might find a student who could give you a hand. What you are asking (crack propagation excluded) is hardly worth a bachelor thesis. The challange is rather mastering the software.

MapleSim technically could solve such problems but has no components to do so. By techincally I mean having components that are connected to each other like finite elements. For heat conduction there are some elements available but nothing for mechanical calculations that could be be used to model "shapes". MapleSim "only" has sophisticated beam components which do not output stresses.

-> Whatever you saw was not in MapleSim.

Overall, the subject is nontrivial. Either you find oldstyle text books with analytical or empirical formulas (which are soemtimes not bad at all) or you have to use finite elements to calculate stresses which then have to be evaluated taking load cycles and materials into account.

Which shapes do you have in mind?
