Maplesoft Announces Availability Of nVizx For Maple.

WATERLOO, Canada -- Maplesoft Offers Affordable Software Alternative for High End Visualization

Maplesoft(TM), the leading provider of high-performance software tools for engineering, science and mathematics, announced today the availability of nVizx(TM) for Maple, a high-end visualization software for 3D modeling, simulation and presentation. With nVizx for Maple, engineers, scientists and educators are able to take large volumes of natural and synthetic data, add complex calculations and generate high resolution, dynamic images for analysis and presentation.

nVizx is the affordable software alternative for high-end visualization. nVizx works dynamically with Maple, the most powerful and intuitive tool for solving complex mathematical problems and creating rich, executable technical applications, to rapidly generate precise, high-resolution images and objects. Images created with nVizx can be saved in standard graphics file formats and pasted into Maple worksheets.

Designed by Splinex Technology Inc. and launched under the MapleConnect Premier program, nVizx for Maple enables users who work with complex mathematical data and multi-dimensional models and images to generate dynamic, high-resolution 3D objects and scenes from large data sets and complex calculations in seconds with precise detail on a typical Windows(R) personal computer. nVizx for Maple enables engineers, educators and researchers to rapidly manipulate and modify objects and scenes during research, development and pre-prototyping phases, without having to invest in expensive hardware or limited-use software. The advanced toolset and speed of nVizx for Maple empowers users to push new experimental and investigative boundaries by accelerating workflow through real-time detailed visual feedback.

"We are excited to offer affordable graphics features and visual quality that, up to now, have only been available in high-end visualization software," said Christian Schormann, vice president of research and development at Splinex Technology, Inc. "nVizx for Maple enables engineers, researchers and educators to quickly and cost-effectively analyze and view multi-dimensional data and their growing repositories of digital objects."

"nVizx for Maple delivers sophisticated visual analytics to our users," said Paul Goossens, director of commercial market development at Maplesoft. "Now, designers and researchers will benefit from rapid visualization and simulation without changing their existing design processes. Educators are able to deliver compelling presentations to improve comprehension and retention in learning environments. Our users can look forward to some dramatic productivity gains with nVizx for Maple."

nVizx for Maple has many applications in industry segments such as engineering, aerospace, automotive, bio-medicine, geometrics, metrology and terrestrial imaging. The high-end visualization software is designed for mechanical engineers, geophysicists, financial analysts, operations researchers and seismic engineers who need to visualize data and models at an early stage in the research and development process. nVizx for Maple can also benefit educators teaching differential geometry subjects, academics presenting complex multi-dimensional images and students who want to make outstanding visual presentations.
