Editor's note: This blog article has a companion PTC Mathcad Prime 8 worksheet that can be read in Prime 8 or versions released afterward. You can find it in this post's sidebar. Calculus is a branch of mathematics quantifying the change of a function. Calculus can be broken down into two main areas: derivative calculus and integral calculus. Derivatives measure the rate of change of a function. Integrals measure the area under the curve of a function. A partial derivative involves a function that is driven by multiple variables, and we find the rate of change of one variable while assuming all the other variables are held constant. If you have ever driven a car, then you can understand the basic concepts of derivatives and partial derivatives. Let’s look at a simple example. Derivatives and Your Car Let’s say you are going to drive your car from your home to work. It takes time to get from point A to point B. You can use a watch to measure time and an odometer to measure distance. Yo

We recorded Andrew McGough (Mathcad Product Management Director)'s one-hour demo and Q&A session about PTC Mathcad Prime 12, set to release in April 2026. Andy discusses: A summary of Mathcad Prime’s newest features, including the recent Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0 maintenance release The current Mathcad Prime roadmap Demos of some of Mathcad Prime 12's upcoming features I also posed over a dozen questions to him asked by Mathcad users, including some from PTC Community!

Creo+ 13.0 debuts the Creo AI Assistant (Beta) and over 40 other enhancements designed to help you deliver better designs, faster. The Creo AI Assistant (Beta) provides troubleshooting support for specific error messages directly in the Creo environment – saving time and frustration. Creo Simulation Live now includes thermal optimization on ECAD assemblies, and manufacturing updates support design for conformal cooling channels in part mode and easier back boring and back countersinking design. Composite capabilities are expanded with simulation results per ply, flat pattern export enhancements, and dedicated composite material types. Performance enhancements in the model tree provide a 15% improvement in design regeneration and improved global clearance and interference checks have up to a 10x speed improvement. Finally, productivity upgrades for Freestyle and Sketcher enable even quicker workflows to deliver your best designs in less time. Read the release notes to lea

Are you frustrated with limited functionality when you use PTC Mathcad Express? Watch this on-demand 60-minute in-depth session made just for Mathcad Express users on how to get the maximum benefit from the PTC Mathcad experience.   Also, we have a new Mathcad worksheet available for download that gives an in-depth comparison between Express's capabilities and Mathcad Prime's capabilities. It was ghost-written by popular Mathcad author Brent Maxfield, so Mathcad Express users will learn a lot about what they're missing by not upgrading to Prime.

Welcome to Blog Post #21 in Our Multibody Series!   In today’s post, we’re diving into a powerful new capability introduced in Creo 11—the ability to reference an existing point/coordinate system based pattern in a geometry pattern of type "point" pattern. This enhancement can significantly streamline your workflow, especially when working with complex body patterns. To get started, check out the What’s New video linked below. The first section highlights the benefits of the new “From Pattern” option in point patterns, which helps accelerate regeneration using the “Identical” or “Flexible” regeneration modes. Around the 50-second mark, the video also demonstrates some useful body patterning techniques.   (view in My Videos)   While the video covers the basics, here are a few key tips and tricks to help you get the most out of this feature: Patterning Bodies with Coordinate SystemsUse a pattern of coordinate systems
