With the new ribbon interface (and startup-page disabled) I need to open a new worksheet to make opening files by the recent document menu work.

Can someone reproduce this?

I have a Pascal program. I want to use a Maple program inside the Pascal program when calling it each time. I dont know how to interact Maple with Pascal. For this, could you give me over a small program? Yours Sincerely

How Maple 2023 displays new results with old results together

I use the tab key to control the formatting of lists. 

On my computer the tab key spacing under Maple 2025 is a little more than one inch which is too much. I have been through the Maple Help and cannot find how to change the tab key spacing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I am working on reproducing Fig. 12 (Isotherms) and Fig. 13 (Streamlines) from the attached paper, cacity_paper_work.pdf which deals with natural convection of GO–MgO/silicone oil hybrid nanofluid inside square and H-shaped cavities under a periodic magnetic field.

Equations (9–11) in the paper describe the steady-state 2D flow and heat transfer in terms of u(x,y), v(x,y), and θ(x,y). I have already set up the full PDE system, parameters, and boundary conditions (BCs) in Maple.

Now, iusing pdsolve(..., numeric, method=fd), 

Solve these equations for both square and H-shaped cavities using the given ICs and BCs, and

Generate Isotherm and Streamline plots (similar to Figs. 12 and 13 in the paper).

I have attached:

The PDF (showing equations and figures), and

My Maple worksheet containing the PDE definitions and parameters.

I would really appreciate guidance on:

Whether dsolve can be used effectively for this PDE system,

How to define the BCs correctly for the H-shaped cavity (especially the partially heated wall, θ=1 for 0.4 < y < 0.6), and

How to extract and plot the temperature (θ) and streamfunction (ψ) fields similar to the paper’s plots.

Hello,

I have full access on .../.../version.txt but Maple tells me I have no write access...

Sorry for the previous post, thank you.

If I try with the install command I get the same error.

Kind regards to all

PS: have a look on the two inserted screenshots

Given an ode with IC. When solution is explicit, Maple resolves the constant of integration as expected and returns solution with no c__1 in it.

But when asked for implicit solution, also with same IC, it now returns solution with c__1 still there.

Is this by design or a bug? Should not constant of integration be resolved using IC in both cases? If unable to solve for c__1 because solution is implicit, should it then not return solution all?

Does this happen in earlier versions of Maple?

Hello, I have a Maple Flow worksheet that is formatted with a basic style template using headings and sections so that I can auto generate the table of contents. All of the numbered sections are in order, top-to-bottom in the worksheet. However, when Maple Flow auto generates the table of contents, it consistently gets the sections out of order - see a screenshot below - note Section 2 is at the end of the table of contents. The page numbers appear to be correct, but the physical placement of Section 2 is not. 

If anybody has encountered this problem in Maple Flow, I would appreciate some suggestions.

Thanks

I found very strange behaviour of Maple 2025.1 on Linux.

Same exact code.  Calling timelimit(sol,ode) twice on two different solutions. If I do not add 

         Physics:-Setup(assumingusesAssume = true)

At the start, then both timelimits finish OK. But once  Physics:-Setup(assumingusesAssume = true) is added at the start, the second timelimit hangs.

I waited 2 hrs and nothing happens. Maple just freezes. Can't even stop the server from worksheet by clicking on the red button at lower left corner. 

This is using latest Physics.  Does anyone know why this happens? It seems due to some memory cache issue?

Make sure to save all your work before trying this just in case you have to kill Maple application.

The strange thing, unable to stop the server by clicking on red button or clicking on RESTART KERNEL icon at top, or even clicking on the debuger icon at lower left corner. Only way was to kill Maple itself from Linux command line.

Could someone try to reproduce this on their Maple? If so, I will send bug report.

Hi! how I install Maple 2025 and Mathematica in my laptop?
Provide me Complete Set-up.

How can we determine the solution of the  system

Udot1 := -beta*V;
Vdot1 := beta*U;
Pdot1 := Q;
Qdot1 := 0;

and with initial conditions 

 U(0) := U[0];
V(0) := V[0];
P(0) := P[0];
Q(0) := Q[0];

I feel that it is increasingly common for answers to generate no reaction from their authors.

Perhaps the author simply voted up... but in that case, would it be possible to indicate this (something like "XXX voted up")? 

This would avoid wasting time responding to the same author in the future, as it doesn't seem to care about commenting the answer.

Hi there.

There is an issue with following limits in Maple 2025:

Maple returned an incorrect zero answers. Plotting functions we see that non-zero limits do exist:

I would like to keep writing commands on the same line without automatically creating a new line break. Is there a way to achieve this in Maple?

I want to change the datatype of a column of a Dataframe imported from Excel.

The import succeeds, and I can change the data type of numeric columns (from the default 'anything' to, say, float).

But conversion fails for all string columns. For example:

DataNew := SubsDatatype(Data, "UN Region", string);

throws the following error:

Error, (in DataSeries:-SubsDatatype) in datatype conversion; try using the 'conversion' option for data type string

The column in question has values such as "Southern Asia", which I would have thought would convert.

What am I doing wrong?
