Does Maple work with a VPN?

nmacsai — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 16:13:47 Z

Does Maple natively work while using a VPN? If not, where do I go to learn how to configure it so it will work using a VPN? In Maple 2025 and Maple 2026, Maple will soft-lock when when attempting to execute any worksheet or attempting to read any help section when using a VPN under the default configuration configuration of Maple.

OpenMaple installation

Anthrazit — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 18:42:34 Z

I'm trying to play around using Maple from other programs (Python, Grasshopper, etc.).

As far as I can see the options are cmaple.exe (command line) and OpenMaple.

Regarding OpenMaple I'm stuck with getting it to work. As far as I can see, I need to define the MAPLE variable, and extend the path, right?

I've added 2 things to the user environment variable in Windows.

MAPLE=C:\Program Files\Maple 2026
Path=.....;C:\Program Files\Maple 2026\bin.X86_64_WINDOWS

To test I've used the program provided in the help file.

import maplesoft.maple.namespace as msymbol

Unfortunately I get: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'maplesoft'

Any hints?

Series simplification performance

segfault — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 18:11:30 Z

If I compare Maple 2024 and Maple 2022 on the exact same worksheet, Maple 2022 executes twice as fast as Maple 2024.

For my kind of work this is very serious. I have programs that can take 10 or more days to complete calcuations, therefore what Maple 2022 will calculate in 10 days, Maple 2024 takes 20 days. It has wasted a LOT of my time, whatever the reason is.

Here is the code:
1) MM must be a high order series expansion with complex arguments so that simplification is not trivial. Use any such asymptotic expansion.
NOTE: I can supply an expansion for a developer through official Maple support, but cannot release it publicly as it is part of a future publication. It is easy enough for anyone to create a complex expansion, with difficult simplification.
2) The simplification of the expansion must at least take a couple of minutes at e.g. Order=10 for the comparison to make sense.
3) Then run the program for Maple 2022 and Maple 2024 respectively and note execution time.
4) This was run on Linux.

As you will see the Maple 2024 calculation takes twice as long as the Maple 2022 calculation.
SEE RESULTS AT END OF PROGRAM.

testorder:=6; # Enter the expansion order here.
MM:=??: # Enter the expansion here.
series(MM, x = 0, testorder):
convert(%, polynom):
map(simplify, %):
#collect(%, x, simplify):
simplify(%):

testorder := 6

RESULTS:

Error in Typesetting after loading module from Startup Code

ianmccr — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 21:00:08 Z

I am attaching two worksheets. The first worksheet titled testflaw shows the original state of a module. The module in the startup code area contained two exported variables which were never implemented. The module had been used in testing the code. The second worksheet testflaw2 shows the result after deleting the exported variables. (AsTable and TestAssociativity). Note that when the worksheet opens a typesetting error code occurs. It appears that the typesetting routines retain knowledge of the exported variables even after a Restart command.

How to copy 2-D Input with comments to plaintext?

C_R — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 20:26:56 Z

On my installations I can neither convert nor copy/paste code with comments from 2D-Math to 1D without loosing the comments.
Also pasting to Word removes the comments.

Is that a known behaviour? Any workarounds?
