There is an animation of a falling rod in simulink here www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJEHzW-sp5c

How would that be presented in MapleSim? 

Also for the double pendulum, model in say if the bottom swing were to hit a wall?  Also model if two double swinging pendulums were to hit each other? 

How do you parse a string containing quoted material?

If the material is read in from a file
readline("f:/test.txt")
and the line contains quotes, if you parse you get an error.

Based on past releases, after Dec 31 any hope of a 16.03 update becomes very very slim. 

You see, any last issued updates (back to Maple 11) have all happened before the turn of the new year.  And should we make it into the new year without one last update then we can almost be certain that Maplesofts focus is all on the next major release, Maple 17.

There is always hope, that a few more loose ends can be tied up before the next major release, however...

I have come across a missing rule that Syllable length does not take into account.

with(StringTools):

SyllableLength("raked")
                 2
SyllableLength("rakes")
                 2
SyllableLength("baked")
                 2

While looking over some old Maple 9.5 applications I came across two applications requiring the HPC Grid computing toolbox for maple. 

Now that parallel computing is becoming the norm and parallel code tools are included with newer Maple versions.  Has this toolbox just been integrated into Maple?  or are they two totally different entities altogether.  I am sensing the toolbox is to deal with multiple computer systems as the parallel code tools...
