parameter sweep could be performed in any number of software packages, including Matlab or a PSPICE variant. What distinguishes Maple and MapleSim from these other programs is the ability to generate the underlying equations of the system. This is a critically important feature. MapleSim contains an “attach equation” option which populates a Maple worksheet with live interactive hooks to the MapleSim file. Three equations are created by the worksheet which describe the mathematical rules governing the system: ⎧ D _ Goff D _ off (t) ⎫ Vbatt − OutputVolt(t) − D _ s(t)⋅ ⎨ ⎬ − D _ Goff ⋅ D _VKnee = 0
