Updated Commands

 

MapleSim Application Programming Interface

Updated API Command

Changes to Command

MapleSim Application Programming Interface > API Commands > GetCompiledProc

The new parameter to cProc, 'ds' (sampling time) returns a specific number of plot points.

If the snapped state is chosen then the executable C function (cProc) takes the correct ICs, t0, duration.

MapleSim Application Programming Interface > API Commands > GetICs

Selecting a snapped stated simulation in the MapleSim GUI, returns snapped state initial conditions.

MapleSim Application Programming Interface > API Commands > GetParameters

You can now query the values of particular parameters.

MapleSim Application Programming Interface > API Commands > SetAttachment

You can create .csv and .txt/.dat files and open with external program (Excell, Notepad). ...xls files are still written in .m format and can not be opened with the external program SetModel command.

MapleSim Application Programming Interface > API Commands > SetSubsystemName

The previous command SetSubSystemName was renamed to SetSubsystemName. Command Subsystems with spaces in their names can now be correctly set.

MapleSim Application Programming Interface > API Commands > GetSubsystemName

The previous command GetSubSystemName was renamed to GetSubsystemName.
