Dear all,What is the key difference between Mathcad prime and Mathcad Express?Is it possible to use Mathcad Express instead of prime for mathematical calculation ?I heard that Mathcad express is free for life time acess after 30 days. So, is it possible to switch MathCad prime into Mathcad Express since Mathcad prime cost around 750USD and mathcad express is free?RegardsPrarthana

Surely others have run up against this issue and there is an elegant solution hiding somewhere out there... If anyone can point me in the right direction much appreciated! I have found that running a Global Interference Analysis will include use cases such as fasteners in the returns... There is an interference detected where the solid geometry outside of the cosmetic thread on an external thread and the solid geometry inside of the cosmetic thread on an internal thread.  It seems a bit much to ask users to sift through the returns and determine which detected interferences are "real" and which to ignore... never mind calling ModelCheck into the game. Initially I had hoped that the Creo Interference analysis would exclude volumes between corresponding cosmetic threads, or at least provide an option to do so.  Not that I can find. I had high hopes for either or both of part level simplified reps and multi-body modeling...  I thought maybe I could have an "i

In my student years, they said - "Handled the sopromat (Strength of materials) - you can fall in love! Passed the heat and mass transfer - you can get married!".In the attachment and in the figure, the simplest problem from the problem book on heat and mass transfer, which I am currently working on. Can you create more simple solution?

When I calculate section properties for a beam, I usually run AutoCAD's MASSPROP command on the section and then do any additional analysis in MathCAD. I'm often doing composite beams, beams with custom shapes, etc. so I can't rely on magic formulas for specific shapes. There are a few properties that I haven't been able to calculate as easily, such as the torsional constant, warping constant, plastic section modulus about plastic section centroid, and monosymmetry constant. These are found using finite element analysis. I have a python API written by Robbie van Leeuwen called SECTIONPROPERTIES, and it's great but my colleagues don't know how to use Python. So with that context, my question is "How can I use MathCAD Prime to cut a section into discrete elements and run a finite element analysis or solve differential equations o? Here's the DE for the monosymmetry constant: Here's the St. Venant torsion constant:The warping constant, from Galambos, 1968:   

Got new desktop computer. I installed my MATHCAD15 CD on it. When starting the application, a window regarding LICENSE SETTING opens. My license file "lm_68802301.txt" is no longer accepted. Trying to rename it to "lm_68802301.dat" didn't work either. Do I need a new license file? Please support.

I want to solve this equation with x and y being real numbers not complex ones. but without making a system of equations for the real part and the imaginary part like so:  Is there any way to use Find or solve in this case?      

I am trying to program a series of iteration in mathcad, and i can't seem to program the part that I needed to get a good result. Can someone help me proofread my program? my dependent variable is c3 = 1, 1.1, kd2 that will be programmed to 2 different set of rules, if c3<cbal , Fy and if c3>=cbal , (600(d-c3))/c3 My F(c3) and Mcr is not showing a result of array. I am confused where to put my index that will support my array function. Kindly help. Thank you. 

Good morning. I am having trouble opening a PTC Mathcad file. The following message appears. Is there any way to solve this situation?

Hello, I am a ocean engineering student and a first time MathCAD user.I am currently running MathCAD 7.0 Prime, kindly help me out.Thanks, tips would be much appreciated.     

 I think my 10 year-old PC is showing signs of failing. The reason I am asking this question is my failing memory of my first installation of MATHCAD 15 reminds me it was a nightmare.  As I recall, after PTC took over MATHCAD, the licensing and installation were the most convoluted processes I have ever encountered with newly purchased software. I still have my original Product Code and MED-60602-CD-150_M050.zip file, as well as the unzipped files. If when I purchase a new PC, can MATHCAD 15 be installed with just the original Product Code and the original zip installation files without having to contact PTC, or will this be another painful process? I am only interested in MATHCAD 15, not Prime. Thanks for any help.

It is famous Mathcad 15 clock. Can you create the Mathcad Prime clock? What must we have at 11 (23) hr?

Hi, I am trying to change the axis of revolve to the blue circled feature. When I try to select "A_1", it doesn't let me do that. Could anyone please have a look at the attached zip folder which has the part file and let me know how to fix this? Best,  

My workflow in MathCAD has evolved over the years since Prime 3.5. Prior to Prime 6-ish, I figured out that the best way to organize a sheet is to create text fields, and then create math fields in that text field so that my math is in line with my text. This gets around a few bugs with editing. Anyways, I discovered a bug a while back and expected it to be fixed by Prime 9, but I downloaded Prime 9 and it is still not fixed. Here it is:  When working in a text field, if I copy some math and text and then paste it in a text field below it, the math doesn't paste. Above is an example of this bug in action. Everything you see below is math and text in the same text field.  Is there a patch, or does anyone know a better way to work around the bugs in MathCAD Prime and still use all of the latest features? I don't want to downgrade to Prime 5 because all of my best worksheets are saved in higher versions. 

I have created a fastener in an assembly and ran the static analysis. I got the output of the shear force and Axial force as follows.      Fastener1_axial_stress:      3.026563e+03     Fastener1_bending_moment:    8.841788e+06     Fastener1_bending_stress:    6.871864e+03     Fastener1_shear_force:       1.125990e+05     Fastener1_shear_stress:      2.579097e+02     Fastener1_torsion_moment:    7.846665e+02     Fastener1_torsion_stress:    3.049226e-01Fastener shear force value I want to know which plane force is that. If we do beam or spring approach we get the Shear in Plane 1 and Plane 2. But here shear force on the fastener is only one value. How to understand this ?  

Is there a way to set default sketcher preferences for drawings? I want it to automatically allow horizontal/vertical snapping. I could not find any options for it. I found an article from 2016 about this stating that it was not a functionality of Creo Parametric, but was "reported as a product idea." That's the only information I can seem to find. It does not appear they ever did anything with this. Currently using Creo Parametric 7.0.5.0.   Article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS69992          

If I open a MBD model in Creo view, is there a way to have the note text for a flagnote pop up when it is clicked on? This is something I have seen done on 3D PDFs.

So we just installed Creoview 9 last week.   (Just saw the patch notes for 10) Well the patch notes confirmed my spatial searches were messed up. I work with some very large assemblies and usually convert them to PVZ to manuplate them and chop them up on my computer for faster processing and load times.   So I was attempting to do that yesterday and today and the largest file it can make now is around 4.2 Gig and then after that size is reached it just red stops all other parts from being able to load and has that little red dot by the part name.  If I create another file with the missing parts and load them seperately in a creo view it works, But when i try to create another PVZ file from multiple viewables that file then fails to load due to some zip file message and is completely useless all together. Will try to load 10, but if I have the same issues is there an older archive of creoviews to download?    

Hi,   I'm looking to make Ref as qty  for the part number by using repeat region or relations in parametric table - in the following below cases. 1. Standalone 2 different assemblies in one parametric table 2.Fig assemblies consist of 2 or more instance assembly in one parametric table.   Please respond if you find a solution.       

Is there any documentation on the syntax for *.PSF and *.PRO file (eg: syntax for comment out line, etc) ?  For PSF file, i always  under the assumption that // is used to comment out a line.However, i notice that if i change the first line // PTC - PSF file: parametric to something like // PTC - PSF file: parametric2, the PSF file will no longer work.      

I have a problem in Mathcad. As the picture shown, it always says "This function requires at least 4 arguments but it applied to 1". Can anyone help me? Thank you

 Hi.... While importing any neutral format parts (parasolid,stp,igs etc.. ) i am facing an issue import validation failure and my part file converted as a solid file. Why the creo can't heal the surfaces automatically. and even i create a step file by creo and again i tried to open that file in the same creo software but i am facing the same issue.              Note: Already the part is accepted as a solid part by creo but i try to save as a step and tried to open again in the same part in the same creo. Why it converted as error surface body?? Please give me a proper solution for this. I spent a lot of time on repairing the file by IDD but i Cant Please give any automatic solution if have.  Thankyou  Ramaniedharan RDesigner-Plastic 

Hi all I have created a set of Datum Points in Creo. In my case there are 28 points, from P0 to P27. Those points have been imported from a .pts file.Originally, there were 28 points from an xls file, which i copy pasted in a .txt file, I renamed that file to .pts and imported as shown in the screenshot.  So in Creo i got a single feature (Datum point id 66) that has all those datum points. What I want to do now.I want to link those points in mathcad. Ideally would be a matrix with 28 rows and 3 colums. The 3 columns should be x, y z.Or 4 columns (the first would be the label column P0 etc..). What I am doing at this moment.I copy paste directly the coords from xls file to mathcad. Mathcad creates a table where i can label the columns and i can manipulate easily the data from that table to my calculations. Obviously there is not any input from Creo. My question is.Is any way to import the table with the coordinates of the 28 points from Creo to Mathcad as a tab
