No, it's not possible. Depending on the type of application, the free Maple Player should be an alternative on the target machines. Note that it cannot run typical worksheets (they would just be displayed, statically), but interactive documents (which can certainly do the job you describe).

If I got that right, you can proceed as follows:

prices := LinearAlgebra:-RandomVector(251);  # just an example
prices[1], prices[2], prices[3];
s := Statistics:-CumulativeSum(prices);
s[1], s[2], s[3];

Others might suggest methods without using Statistics:-CumulativeSum.

I cannot reproduce it on my laptop with 64-bit Maple 2015 under Windows 7, but we've received the same report from other customers, using Maple 17 and/or 18. Some confirmed that updating their graphics card driver helped. Instructions for Nvidia, AMD, Intel can be found in Maple's Install.html.

First, use ExcelTools, as opposed to Exceltools. Second, make sure your working directory is actually the one where you placed the two files. That depends on how you opened Maple: If you double-clicked on the mw file, the working directory should be set to it automatically. If you launched it by clicking on some icon, the working directory will usually be Maple's installation directory. Change it via the currentdir command, or (from Maple 16 on) interactively by clicking the link at the right of the status bar.

Numerical issues aside, if you want to compare your results with the exact solution, Maple will find it for you:

infolevel[dsolve]:=5:    # diagnostic extra output, optional
BVP := identify([ODEs]);   # leaving the boundary values as floats - replace them by exact constants if needed
Sol := dsolve(BVP);
odetest(Sol,BVP);   # optional check, returning a list of four zeros

It will take a while (several minutes on my laptop), and the result is lengthy (simplify(Sol,size) helps a bit) and contains integrals, but you can investigate from there on.

Okay, 7.01 is the latest version. Please check that Maple 18 is also updated to 18.02 (these updates are independent of each other, unlike for some earlier versions).

Technically, your model "works" on my system; however, there is nothing to be seen in the resulting animation (even when extending the simulation duration t_d from 0.1s), since there is no force applied. Is that intentional? I would call it a modeling error...

Anyway, since I cannot reproduce that error message, I have some more questions:

what platform are you on, and how much memory does your computer have?

I'm not aware of any internal limitations w.r.t. number of bodies (and have never seen this error message), but 80 is quite a lot, I'd say. Please upload your model to MaplePrimes, or send it to our support team, e.g. by using menu item "Help > Technical Support" which will open an empty e-mail with your msim file attached.

Also, if you're using MapleSim 6, make sure you update to 6.01 from here.

Please post your equations in a readable text format. Trying to decipher the symbols in the image you posted is too error-prone.

I have never seen such tags in the GUI. Could you upload your model, or describe the steps you took, so that we can investigate?

Also, please make sure you installed the MapleSim 6.01 update from here.

If you post your complete code as plain text, or upload your worksheet, we can try to reproduce it. Otherwise, we can just guess. Are all of your equations fully polynomial and/or rational in all unknowns?

Is that really Maple 7 you are talking about? The Student[Calculus1] package was introduced in Maple 8.

Please check our webstore for upgrade offerings (and 15% discounts till end of May).

Strange. I don't know much about the technical background, but at the bottom of most of our pages, you should see a list of three links: "Language:   English  |  Français  |  Deutsch". Does it help (permanently) when you select English?

I don't think it's easy to optimize them simultaneously, but what about keeping them fully separate? For a start, try this:

sX := simplify(X,size);
sY := simplify(Y,size);
sZ := simplify(Z,size);

with(CodeGeneration):
Matlab(sX,optimize);
Matlab(sY,optimize);
Matlab(sZ,optimize);

Note that MapleSim has advanced methods to generate multibody equations and optimized C code (or specific targets like S-functions for Simulink, etc., via add-on connectors).

I've typed in most of your commands, but cannot reproduce the problem, i.e. I'm getting the correct result for diff(U4,P). So please upload your worksheet (using the green arrow-up button in the editor), or post your commands as text. A screenshot is useful for demonstrating graphical effects or GUI-related questions, but not so much for questions on programming and interactive usage of commands.
Please indicate your Maple version as well.

By the way, from the first three outputs, I guess you loaded the VectorCalculus package instead of LinearAlgebra. Not that you need any of those for this particular calculation...

Edit: Use square brackets for indexing by default: M[1] etc., as opposed to M(1) etc.

In any case, feel free to submit an SCR (Software Change Request, covering feature suggestions, bug reports, other change requests). See the "More" drop-down menu at the top of this page.
