Maple30 is a commercial computer algebra system developed and sold commercially by Maplesoft, a software company based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The current major version was released in March 2015. It was first developed in 1980 by the Symbolic Computation Group at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. In 1988, Maplesoft (then known as Waterloo Maple Inc.) was founded to commercialize the technology. Maplesoft Engineering Solutions are uniquely positioned to offer cutting-edge software tools and expertise for design, modeling, and high-performance simulation that will help you meet the challenges of engineering design projects. With experts in a variety of engineering fields, extensive experience in model-based design and the superior system-level modeling and analysis tools, MapleSim and Maple, and Maplesoft can help you reduce developmental risk and bring high-quality products to market faster. Maplesoft Engineering Solutions support the following: System functional verification, Design parameter optimization, Design trouble-shooting and improvement, System-level modeling for component sizing, and Optimized model code generation for HiL and Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) testing.

To model and simulate human MSK systems, several commercial (e.g., AnyBody, ADAMS-LifeMOD, MuJoCo, SIMM, SimMechanics, MapleSim) and open-source (e.g., OpenSim, MSMS, RBDL, BiomechZoo) multibody dynamics simulation software have been used (Febrer-Nafría et al. 2022). Except for SimMechanics and MapleSim, it is challenging to use the above software for augmenting the human model with sports tools, active prostheses, or exoskeleton models (Febrer-Nafría et al. 2022), especially when using hydraulic, pneumatic, or flexible components such as bike tires (Jansen and McPhee 2020) or golf shafts (Brown et al. 2020). MapleSim is based on symbolic computing and provides analytic derivatives when necessary, such as for optimization or sensitivity analyses, whereas the other software mentioned are based on numerical computation.
