Hi MaplePrimes, 

I am interested in obtaining some gravitational field equations from an action using the FunDiff command. I have been able to write what I think is a pretty short and quick worksheet(with an arbitrary metric) and I am easily able to obtain the Einstein Field Equations. However, when I introduce some new more complicated terms into the action and apply the Simplify command maple does not appear to be able to evaluate and I end up halting the computation. When I specify a metric Maple, for example Schwarzschild, Maple will easily be able to Simplify my expression but it will use metric components during the process. Where what I am interested in is just the Tensor expression with respective indices. 

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how I could resolve this. 

I have attached the worksheet that I am working with. I look forward to your thoughts/comments.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I dont know why I could not solve this problem.

I have attached my worksheet.

Please anyone help me to get solution to this problem.

Thank you so much

Dear All,

I have an executable program which I have generated with Fortran. Is it possible to run such a program from Maple? It sounds a bit weird but that would simplify my computation, since I would not need to use scripts in Linux. Thank you very much.

Cheers.

no figure drawn, Why? Thank you

I remember that once there was an option to provide to maple a given function and it produced a suitable DE that this function solves.

Can you remind me how to do it?

I remember there was such an option in the previous versions of maple.

Thanks in advance!

So I have a problem when copying multiple output from Maple to Word. I am using a simple example here. 

When I copy each part of the output as an image SEPERATELY, it comes out much cleaner than if I highlight everything together and then copy. Is there a reason this is the case and is there a way to fix this problem?

Here is the Maple Code:

with(plottools);
with(plots);
ttt1 := textplot([0, 1, "3  +  5  =  __", color = "black", font = ["Arial", "bold", 120]]);
display(ttt1, size = [1000, 200], axes = none);
ttt1 := textplot([0, 1, "1  +  3  =  __", color = "black", font = ["Arial", "bold", 120]]);
display(ttt1, size = [1000, 200], axes = none);

I also uploaded the Maple Worksheet

Here is the output:

There are TWO imges in the output in this example. I tried copying both together and pasting them, and then I tried copying them individually. The output is very different in quality.

The one copied alot is much cleaner once copied and pasted in Word. Does anyone why this is happening? I don't want to have to copy images individally for obvoius reasons. I know this example is only two images but what if there was alot more, etc.

Thank you

I have done something but what?

I want to use maple notation for input and  output.

I have done something to mess this up.

How do I plot a volume of revolution? I can plot other volumes using Student[Calculus1]]:-VolumeOfRevolution, but not this one. I get a blank plot. I do get the correct volume from output=value..

How do I plot this using plot3d?

Hello,

I have been trying to figure this out for a long time and can't find anyone else having the same problem.

I use the built-in unit system for assigned values (short-cut is Ctrl+Shift+u) a lot when doing electronics calculations and electromagnetism, so I often use resistances and therefore need to use Ohm. This is very often an option in the "Choose Unit" drop-down menu on the right, but when too many units are brought into the same calculation the option dissappear. Usually I the go to the "Enter Unit" menu as to write the unit out myself I cannot figure out a way for it to accept greek letters. Does anyone know what to do?

Hi Everyone,

I intend to find the invariants of a 2nd-order Tensor using the representation of the rotational group as an Infinitesimal generator. However, maple does not seem to find the correct invariants $\tr \mathbf{a}$, $\tr \mathbf{a}^2$, $\tr \mathbf{a}^3$. Maple only returns an empty set. I can't seem to figure out why that is the case.

Here is my code
