CAD

I am a student, Do I get to use mathcad for the entire duration of my studies through the key

I am a student and have already used the 30 days of trial for Prime 8.0 I need to convert a template from my professor that is an .xmcd file.  I cant convert it because I do not have the full version and I am not about to spend $60 to convert one file.  Can you guys help me get this file converted so that I can open it on Prime 8.0 please>

Hi, I am trying to connect two cylindrical shapes with a pin connection so one rotates around the other. I added the Axis alignment and the translation surfaces but Creo still says the connecition is incomplete. I am also not able the flip the connection. Can anyone tell me what is going on and how to fix this?   Kind regards, Nine    

In an equation, the horizontal line between a numerator and a denominator is called the vinculum. In working my analysis using Mathcad Express V8, in some defined variables, the vinculum is greyed out while the rest is normal.  Another defined variable right above it is normal. The font type, size, and color are both the same.

Hi, People here on the forum helped me define a PWM controller, in the past. I made a tweak to that formula, so that it starts at zero. However, I've noticed there is a weird issue with Mathcad. If you look at two cycles, it will be off when it should still be on. This happens on the second cycle. It turns off one time step too soon. However, it's random and depends on the duty cycle entered. I'm wondering if there is another way to define this, so that this issue can be avoided. I've messed around with it as much as I can but have reached a dead end. Thanks, Anthony

Hi, I am using Creo Parametric 8.0 and I intend to model and analyze some nano-level structures. But the smallest circle/rectangle that I can draw is around 100nm. Can someone please let me know what is the smallest possible dimension size in Creo Parametric? If nanometer level drawings are possible, how should I model that? Thanks,Jay

Why we have not in Prime this unit as energy and temperature unit? The inventor of Mathcad - the nuclear physicist Allen Razdow would also be unhappy with this. SMath has!

MBD action To create a bolt hole circle on a detailed drawing you need radial_pattern_axis_circle option set to yes.   What's the option to do this on the ASME 14.41-2012 Annotations version.  I want to show my bolt hole circle in 3d annotations.    Ideas?  Maybe I'm missing something.   I've stepped up my game to deliver MBD and GD&T this past 10 years.  Is anyone willing to have a zoom conversation about the topic? With respect to detailed drawings I wake up thinking "why does PTC insist on making this a config.pro option as opposed to simply adding the option to the UI"  It can be a pain in the but teaching Creo to SW users. they wonder the same thing and I'm like 'uhaaa yea'  PTC.   with the exception of 20 or so items it's way better than the consistency in SW.  Can I say that if I point out inconsistency to SW users in their own SW UI they get angry. &n

Greetings Community, I've been asked to install CREO Parametric 7.0 - Student Edition for my university course. I have created a student account, disabled firewalls, disabled antivirus, downloaded the compressed program file through webpage link, run the setup wizard as "Administrator", and imputed the Simple License Entry product code "BK700908EDSTUDENTEDUNI" as instructed in the Quick Installation Guide. When I start up the program, it says something along the lines of Invalid License followed by other pop-ups, and it eventually closes. I scoured the internet and videos and none of the methods I have found worked. My university Professor is unable to provide assistance, but is aware of this issue every semester with other students. Can anyone please provide provide me with a walk-through for proper installation of this program? My machine is a Dell i7 with Windows 11. Also, I was emailed a ".dat" document called "sw_license_email_62278.dat"  -  am I supposed

hi, i seem to have run into a bug with mathcad 15 plotting. i'm sure there is a way around it. however, i don't know how to do it. i put the question in the file. it's near the bottom of the file. i think there needs to be an if statement that checks to see if both elements of the matrix are negative. if so, make them positive. the matrix with the problem is called 'mode1'. sorry, the file is kind of a mess right now. i want to clean it up and post it as an update to a very old thread on here. i was able to take something someone posted 'pre mathcad 15' and get it working with mathcad 15. however, i wanted to get this plotting glitch fixed before i did that. i also found that a number of the eigenvalue and eigenvector functions have bugs as well. luckily, the ones i used in this file seem to work good. thanks, anthony

That is the mistake  //Mathcad 14  

Hi, I'm new to mathcad and can't seem to use an old file to the new Prime 8.0. Can anyone please help me convert the file so that I can run it in the prime? Or any online converter that I can use?

Hello, Mathcad Version 8.0.0.0 I am trying to assign the results of a symbolically solved equation to a variable so I can use that value later in my Mathcad sheet. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have included an example sheet of the problem I am facing.  As background, the reviewing parties for our calculations are used to hand calculations so I am trying to stick to the formatting in my attached sheet as it is very similar to how you would write this problem up by hand. Unfortunately, some people are stuck in their ways. Thanks!

I have just noticed that the lower case φ is on a different key than the capital Φ. Is this on purpose? Has anybody noticed other mismatches? Raiko P.S. Running Prime 8 on a Win 10 machine

Has any noticed that you now have to have a work piece in order to turn on the Mill Volume and Mill Window options? This was never an issue with prior versions of Creo up to 7.0.9.0 All that was required in the past  was to have a reference model.  Where is the logic in forcing a work piece to be defined just to machine a surface or text on a surface. I could not find any config,pro options to reset this back. Creo 8 and 9    Creo 7 

I can't get MathCAD to work on a different workstation using same email. I'd like to know if uninstalling on the first workstation will free up the license because reinstalling is a real hustle with our IT services.

I have finished a half-sine 30g impact shock analysis, however, I can't plot any results even I have defined some "measures". What could be wrong?! What could be wrong in setup?Thanks.P.S.(BTW, I also ran the same half-sine 30g impact shock analysis using SolidWorks Simulation concurrently, which produced stress results that I wanted within 1 minute using a laptop Precision 7550_2.5GHz-32GB, in contrast, CREO took 12 minutes using a desktop Precision 5820_3GHz-128GB).

Is it possible to keep on adding output of excel files with change in output to one single output file? For e.g. there is a input file which provides the data and evaluating the worksheet will give excel output. What I want to have is when the input is changes it overwrites the excel output but i ant to have the calculation written in next row of excel document like it used to do in Mathcad 15. I tried but could not achieve it. Can someone please share the sample worksheet with this behavior?  Austin 

I seem to have found a bug in Prime 4.0.  When specifying an array of 4767 elements it stops working.  But only if the program is defined as [a  b]:=, it works fine if it's a:=.  This picture explains it better than I can.  So, I have a work around, but my questions are: a.) It's a bug, right? b.) Any reason why it would do that?     Thanks,

Hello,Im a solidworks user, but im starting to work with creo elements/direct.When i try to add a dimension to a hole, the diameter symbol doesn`t show.Can someone help me?Thanks   

Hello. I have received an email from Mathcad containing a license file. I followed the instructions and the program says, I have activated the license for the program. However, it still shows that I have 29 days of trial left. Could you please guide me on what to do? -Vich
