Introduction Maxim 100 Maxim 200 Maxim 300 Maxim 400

The Maxim Range

Teach complex engineering principles using the power of interactive simulation for a variety of electrical, mechanical and marine subjects. Our Maxim training modules are designed to provide you with a low cost, PC-based approach to engineering education.

Extensively tested mathematical simulation models combined with a highly realistic graphical representation of controls and instrumentation means students can interact and experiment with the virtual plant.

Maxim 100 - Electrical Power Generation
Maxim 200 - Motors and Motor Drives
Maxim 300 - Diesel Engine and Auxiliary Systems - Marine or Generic Configurations
Maxim 400 - Refrigeration Plant

• For self study or class demonstration.
• Supplied with pre-prepared exercises.
• Comprehensive logging of all student activity for exercise assessment.
• Runs on standard PC.

Engineering theory has traditionally been taught in the classroom supported by practical work in a machines laboratory. Although this approach has many advantages, there are many subject areas which are difficult or even impossible to demonstrate effectively.

Maxim is specifically designed to provide the solution to this problem by allowing the student to exercise both practical and theoretical skills.

Maxim calculates the real-time state of the simulated system and displays these values in a familiar and effective way. Students have many opportunities to interact and experiment. Formal exercises are available and all student activity may be logged for assessment purposes.
