I found the option in this statement

dsn := dsolve(dsys, numeric, differential = true, projection = false, maxfun = 0)

in help("examples/numeric_DAE")

 

I give up searching because

  • the word "differential" occurs so often in dsolve help pages that advanced search does of not filter help topics effectively
  • the option does not seem to be a dsolve[numeric] or rk45 specific option (at least I cannot find anything on the pages)

What does the option do?
How could I have searched better?

I found this option mentioned in help(MapleSim,Multibody,Dynamic_Exports).

For the example of the help page I tried

SliderCrank:-GetDynEQs(AugType = Reaction);
SliderCrank:-GetDynEQs(AugType = Lagrange);

but the output is the same (which I would expect since GetDynEQs is not defined with parameters).

In the help system I only find deprecated commands that use this option

How can this option be set in newer versions of MapleSim without using deprecated commands?

The below is not properly rendering in my browser. You probably have to open the worksheet
 

De Morgan's law from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan%27s_laws

NULL

iff(not (P or Q), `and`(not P, not Q))

not (P or Q) implies not (P or Q)

(1)

iff(not (P and Q), `or`(not P, not Q))

not (P and Q) implies not (P and Q)

(2)

NULL

 

Edit: Asking differently: Which symbol from the palettes can be used for equivalence (in a logic context)?

Edit2: Title changed. Original title: Why does Maple replace the equivalence symbol by an implication symbol

In help(EllipticF): Why is the parameter k not called “the modulus of the elliptic function” as in the definition of the inverse Jacobi functions in help(InverseJacobiPQ)?

Instead, it is called “the parameter” which can be confused with the parameter m=k^2 used in other notations (which is refered to "a parameter m" in the EllipticF help page).

Is there a reason for this, or should the parameter definitions of the first, second and thrid elliptic integrals not be aligned with the parameter definitions of the Jacobi functions and their inverses?

DLMF for example defines k as modulus for both, the Elliptic Integrals and the Jacobian Elliptic Functions.

A user who wants to transfer an expression from a different notation to Maple might misinterpret parameters.

Sometimes the canvas in the 2d-workspace of a subsystem (or component) is grayed out and the parameters in the parameter pane cannot be changed.

Example from the Model Gallery where the mass cannot be changed

Another example of a CAD geometry where I would like to change color and transparency:  seeshell.msim

How to unprotect the parameters?

I have observed that copy and pasting (Edit2: in a new document) and deleting the original component and copy/paste back into the original document and reconnection of the pasted  component works. Are there shorter ways to unprotect? 

And: How to do the reverse action (i.e. protecting a component)?

(I could not find a "when" and "why" for the protection in the documentation. Maybe I overlooked something)

Edit:

Other reasons why to unprotect are suppressions of components and highlight of multibody ports and axes.

Adding or reformating automatically generated ports (Edit3).
