My role is to help customers better exploit our tools. I’ve worked in selling, supporting and marketing maths and simulation software for all my professional career.

I’m fascinated by the full breadth and range of application of Maple. From financial mathematics and engineering to probability and calculus, I’m always impressed by what our users do with our tools.

However much I strenuously deny it, I’m a geek at heart. My first encounter with Maple was as an undergraduate when I used it to symbolically solve the differential equations that described the heat transfer in a series of stirred tanks. My colleagues brute-forced the problem with a numerical solution in Fortran (but they got the marks because that was the point of the course). I’ve since dramatized the process in a worksheet, and never fail to bore people with the story behind it.

I was born, raised and spent my formative years in England’s second city, Birmingham. I graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering from The University of Nottingham, and after completing a PhD in Fluid Dynamics at Herriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, I started working for Adept Scientific – Maplesoft’s partner in the UK.

@JABova With the older Mathcad mcd files, Claude Code + Opus 5.5 can decode their binary format into an intelligible format. You can then using the Maple Flow skill for coding assistants to generate a Maple Flow worksheet.

I know this works because I've done this :)

@FDS_ERT You're right - that is not possible. An alternative is to set a highlight color for that container (right-click on the container and select Background color)

@FDS_ERT Use this menu to change the "2D Output" and "2D Math" styles. The changes are persistent.

@FDS_ERT If possible could you record a video of your precise steps and submit to support@maplesoft.com? We have not been able to reproduce this issue in-house

@FDS_ERT I can't reproduce this problem that you observe - if I click outside the container, the 2d output preserves the formating I specified. I'll ask my colleagues if they can reproduce this problem in-house. 

What OS are you on? Windows or Mac? What language is your OS?

@FDS_ERT To change the output math style, change the "2d output" style from Home > Styles

@FDS_ERT We're in the final stages of polishing the new Migration Assistant.We'll release it soon :)

Thank you for your patience

@MAGS2 You'll find instructions for setting up your AI coding assistant to generate Maple Flow worksheets here:

https://www.maplesoft.com/products/MapleFlow/AI-Coding-Assistants/index.aspx

I show a few examples of AI-generated Flow worksheets in this video

@dharr provides the correct route for acquiring the Migration Assistant. If you need help converting your Mathcad 14 files, then please email support@maplesoft.com - we'd be happy to help

support@maplesoft.com can put you in touch with the right person to get the Migration Assistant

The RHS of outputs= should be a Vector that contains freq and omega

RunWorksheet will then return a Vector, which can be assigned to a Vector of names

 

With respect to your other questions, I think we'd need to see a worksheet. Could you please send details to tech support?

@Shaggy Could you forward the worksheet to support@maplesoft.com please? I think we need to investigate the actual document.

What happens when you right click on the table on contents and select the update option?

@Andrew Lindsay The integral sign routes the math through symbolic integration (there's most likely a design issue that means it's not able to process units). 

int(...,numeric) was specifically overhauled to be compatible with units. 

My preferred solution for Flow would be a toggle that forces the integral sign to numerically integrate. It's on the development roadmap.

@Shaggy 

Try re-sizing each text container and you should be able to reproduce the problem. Some lines of text will automatically wrap and others will not.

Ok, I have a reproducible set of steps for this now. Again, I'll try to get this fixed for the November release.

Thank you for following up on this...this is valuable.
