Hi,

I am trying to convert from MapleSim to Simulink Matlab by using the S-function code Generation connector, but I got the above message when I uploaded the selected subsystem and I have no idea how can I fix it. Please help me

Hi MaplePrime-ers!

I've been using the Maple(17) toolbox in Matlab(2012b) to quickly enumerate systems of equations by: (i) solving them symbolically, (ii) using unapply to make them functions, (iii) then supplying the points (driver equations) to get the system solution.  Speed is a must, because there may be 3 million+ systems to solve.  Symbolics is also very important because I am evaluating topology, so the structure of the equations may change, and therefore a functional approach will not work.

I have had success (seen in the first code snippet).  I would like similiar behaviour in the second code snippet, but sometimes I get 'solutions may be lost' as an error message,  or 'Error, (in unapply) variables must be unique and of type name'

The system of equations include:  Linear equations, 5th order polynomials, absolute functions, and pieceiwse functions.

Here is code with a topology that solves:

This works great!  I would like simliar output in my second code snippet, but this time with more inputs to symb_sol.  However, if I try and change the interconnection equations a little, and add a piecewise function, and another driver... (differences in bold)

Subsequent parts don't work...

count := 0;
for i1 from 1 to 40 do
     for i2 from 1 to 40 do
          for i3 from 1 to 40 do
               for i4 from 1 to 40 do
                    for i5 from 1 to 40 do
                         count := count + 1;
                         solsol2(count) := symb_sol2(i1,i2,i3,i4,5);
                    od;
               od; 
          od;
     od;
od;
count;

While running the last line sol:, 1 of 2 things will happen, depending on the solver. Maple17 will take a long time (30+ minutes) to solve, then report nothing, or sol will solve, but will report "some solutions have been lost".

Afterwards, evaluating symb_sol(0,0,0,0,0) will return a viable solution (real values for each of the variables).  Whereas evaluating symb_sol(0,X,0,0,0), where X <> 0, will return and empty list [].

Does anyone know how to (i) speed up the symbolic solve time?  (ii) Return ALL of the solutions?

Thanks in advance for reading this.  I've really no idea why this isn't working.  I've also attached two worksheets with the code: noGB.mw   withGB.mw

Hello,

I have a model in MapleSim for which I've generated the optimized C code using the connector toolbox, and I'd like to work with it directly. I was wondering if there is any documentation or examples of how to do this? I haven't been able to find any online.

Thanks! 

Hi,

I have downloaded the lead acid battery model from the link http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=34125. I have made the whole system as a subsystem block and tried to generate a simulink sfunction block, but I was not successful. I am getting the below error while doing so.

 Error in Component Button43 with caption "Generate to Simulink":
(in MapleSim:-GetInitialConditions:-GetInitialConditions...

I am trying to create a Simulink component block from a MapleSim subsystem. I have one input to the subsystem, and the Specified Inputs and Outputs section of the MapleSim Connector worksheet also shows that the subsystem has one input. However, When I export the model to Simulink, there is no input port, just one output. How can I fix this?
