Maple Flow is an engineering calculation software that provides a flexible, whiteboard-style environment for creating, organizing, and documenting mathematical analyses. It allows engineers to input math, text, and images into a live, interactive document, automatically updating calculations as changes are made. The software is tailored for design engineers, enabling quick brainstorming, iterative development, and easy revision of technical ideas, with drag-and-drop content arrangement. Maple Flow is powered by the Maple math engine and supports a wide range of engineering applications, such as circuit analysis, structural design, and fluid flow calculations. It also offers features for symbolic processing, data visualization, and mathematical modeling, making it suitable for both professional and educational use.
