Creating a Custom Component from a Template or App

MapleSim comes with specialized templates for creating custom components. For instance, you could create a custom component from a set of differential algebraic equations (DAEs) or from C code/libraries. In addition, other MapleSim Add-on products may provide their own templates or apps for creating custom components. These instructions are a general overview of how to create a custom component from any template or app.

Specific information on how to configure a custom component using a template or app is usually embedded in the template or app.

To create a custom component from a template or app:

The custom component can be found under the Local Components tab ( ), in the Components palettes. Drag the custom component onto the Model Workspace to use it in your model. For custom components based on a template, the template is attached to your model in the Custom Components palette under the Attached Files tab ( ).  If the Custom Component is based on an app, your app data configuration will be attached to your model under App Data.

Tip: Examples and tutorials on how to configure a custom component using a template can be found in the following sections of the MapleSim User's Guide:
