To use the MapleSim Connector, you must set up the Maple-MATLAB® link and the MATLAB® mex compiler.

Note: If you are using the MapleSim Connector in a Linux® environment, you must have a C shell installed to complete the setup process.

To configure Maple to communicate with MATLAB® and Simulink®, you must set up the Maple-MATLAB® link.  

To establish a connection with MATLAB(R): 

In a Maple worksheet, enter the command Matlab[evalM]("simulink").

A Simulink® library window is opened and the connection is established. If a MATLAB® command window is not opened, follow the instructions in Matlab[setup] to configure the connection.

To compile generated code, you must set up the MATLAB® mex compiler.

To set up the compiler:

Start MATLAB® and enter the following command: mex -setup. Follow the instructions to choose a local C compiler.

If you are using Microsoft Windows, it is recommended that you use the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler which is required for the MapleSim compile option. Please see Install.html for setting up the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler under 64-bit Microsoft Windows. If you are using Macintosh or Linux, it is recommended that you use the gcc compiler.
