My role is to help customers better exploit our tools. I’ve worked in selling, supporting and marketing maths and simulation software for all my professional career.

I’m fascinated by the full breadth and range of application of Maple. From financial mathematics and engineering to probability and calculus, I’m always impressed by what our users do with our tools.

However much I strenuously deny it, I’m a geek at heart. My first encounter with Maple was as an undergraduate when I used it to symbolically solve the differential equations that described the heat transfer in a series of stirred tanks. My colleagues brute-forced the problem with a numerical solution in Fortran (but they got the marks because that was the point of the course). I’ve since dramatized the process in a worksheet, and never fail to bore people with the story behind it.

I was born, raised and spent my formative years in England’s second city, Birmingham. I graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering from The University of Nottingham, and after completing a PhD in Fluid Dynamics at Herriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, I started working for Adept Scientific – Maplesoft’s partner in the UK.

@FDS_ERT You're right - that is not possible. An alternative is to set a highlight color for that container (right-click on the container and select Background color)

@FDS_ERT Use this menu to change the "2D Output" and "2D Math" styles. The changes are persistent.

@FDS_ERT If possible could you record a video of your precise steps and submit to support@maplesoft.com? We have not been able to reproduce this issue in-house

@FDS_ERT I can't reproduce this problem that you observe - if I click outside the container, the 2d output preserves the formating I specified. I'll ask my colleagues if they can reproduce this problem in-house. 

What OS are you on? Windows or Mac? What language is your OS?

@FDS_ERT To change the output math style, change the "2d output" style from Home > Styles

@FDS_ERT We're in the final stages of polishing the new Migration Assistant.We'll release it soon :)

Thank you for your patience

@MAGS2 You'll find instructions for setting up your AI coding assistant to generate Maple Flow worksheets here:

https://www.maplesoft.com/products/MapleFlow/AI-Coding-Assistants/index.aspx

I show a few examples of AI-generated Flow worksheets in this video

@dharr provides the correct route for acquiring the Migration Assistant. If you need help converting your Mathcad 14 files, then please email support@maplesoft.com - we'd be happy to help

support@maplesoft.com can put you in touch with the right person to get the Migration Assistant

The RHS of outputs= should be a Vector that contains freq and omega

RunWorksheet will then return a Vector, which can be assigned to a Vector of names

 

With respect to your other questions, I think we'd need to see a worksheet. Could you please send details to tech support?

@Shaggy Could you forward the worksheet to support@maplesoft.com please? I think we need to investigate the actual document.

What happens when you right click on the table on contents and select the update option?

@Andrew Lindsay The integral sign routes the math through symbolic integration (there's most likely a design issue that means it's not able to process units). 

int(...,numeric) was specifically overhauled to be compatible with units. 

My preferred solution for Flow would be a toggle that forces the integral sign to numerically integrate. It's on the development roadmap.

Try re-sizing each text container and you should be able to reproduce the problem. Some lines of text will automatically wrap and others will not.

Ok, I have a reproducible set of steps for this now. Again, I'll try to get this fixed for the November release.

Thank you for following up on this...this is valuable.

@Shaggy 

You will see the variable Op__time1 in the section "Timing Data" refresh immediate. It is only dependent on one procedure call. The remaining variables that begin with Assess do not refresh without manual intervention. This timer operates on two procedure calls.

OK, yes, I can reproduce this - thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'll attempt to get this fixed for the November release.

For the navigation issue, collapse the section header "Timing Data". Then, underneath the section line, type a text container and then select and delete it. This may not do anything. If it didn't work, try typing text above the section line, deleting it and then typing text again below the section line. This should cause the navigation jump.

I still can't reproduce this. Could you go to Help > About Maple Flow, and tell me your Build ID?
