Is it an error in Mathcad Prime?

There is a problem with Prime8 in the way it assigns parentheses when differentiating functions - for example: This of course looks correct - but if you  paste the answer into another equation - Prime8 erroneously assumes the leading differentiation applies to the remainder of the expression i.e.:  So Prime8 should have given the original differential with parentheses assigned as follows :  When deriving complex partial differential expressions  (@SP_9781969) this defect is a problem. The workaround is to manually correct the results at each stage by inserting brackets at the right place - however, even this can be tricky as  Prime8 conflates everything together and won't allow brackets to be inserted around the correct terms - so you have to cut and paste - and exercise that itself can inject errors further errors.  

Hello All,  I am checking the carrying capacity of I section beam. I have applied 3000kg of load downwards divided equally into 8 bottom lugs. Two top lugs are tied to sling/rope leading towards a single point. I have created beams in creo simulate 7.0 to replicate the ropes using two end points - one on lug and one on top at a certain height..see attached pictures for your referenceHowever after running simulation I am observing a high point load on lug where the beam starts. This seems to be something unusual. I believe the load should spread on the hole of lifting lug. Can you please advise if you have any suggestion to improve the definition of sling/rope in creo simulate? is there any better way to perform it? I would highly appreciate your help with it.

Hello everyone, When I select an orientation in Creo View (Home > Orientations), the model rotates to the specified orientation. This transition takes about one second. Is there a way to make the change instant (0 seconds)?I checked the standard configuration options but couldn’t find anything. Since there are many properties available, it’s possible I overlooked the relevant one.Thanks in advance for your help.

getting invalid file or format while uploading the license file. tried saving it as ".txt" format but still doesn't works.

Hello!  I' a grumpy old retired curmudgeon who occasionally is asked to step in and review some of the young'uns work at my previous firm. This year, they finally gave up and transitioned from Mathcad 15 to Prime 11.  However, they use node-locked licenses; therefore The grunpu Old Man cannot remotely open their worksheets for review. If I were to install Prime 11 Express on the remote machine (or on my home machine), could I open the sheets made with the full version for review, even if all the features they may have used to make the sheet don't work for me?  (this is two questions in one, actually - remote access must be solved first...) Thanks!

Tested a solution block in Part 1 of attached with scalar variables. Works just fine.However, when I change to column vector variables in part 2, I think that my element-wise array multiplication and division is not working out.Suggestions for correcting part 2 will be appreciated.Using Mathacd Prime 10.0.1.0.

Do We have to buy illustrator as an application addon or separate install or how does it work? Is there any way we can get a demo to try out before buy? We do a lot of installation drawings for military, and we are challenged with 2d drawings of interior assembly systems instructions. Want to see if Creo I is a good candidate and  helpful.

Hello,Right now we have a customer who is giving an NX file project, so we imported the model into creo and it was opened as an assembly and then I used IDD to clean it up. Now I need to extract one specific part as a (.prt file) since we will put it in CREO tool deisgn extension (which requires .prt file). I have tried (1) Copy/publish geometry however the part does not appear when I open it. I have tried (Shrinkwrap). however this option leaves holes in the surfaces. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, One of the team is using Creo in VDI (Virtual Desktop) environment & facing performance issues when tried to open assemblies and drawing files. Kindly share some best practices to enhance the performances. ThanksNaresh

Hello, I am unable to change the width of a fiber shape. No matter what value of "width" I put in for shape properties of that fiber, the width remains the same on the diagram. Any help would be appreciated!Example: One of the fibers here has a width of "10" and the other had a width of "1" but it does not change the appearance 

Ordinate Dimension Orientation: I want to flip my Dimension text around 180 Degrees.  My Parts 0 is at the left of my drawing and is the bottom of my part. And what is at the right would be the top.  So I want the bottom of my text facing the other way.    Any Ideas. I don't have room to flip my text horizontal.

I'm trying to install Mathcad 14 on my new Windows 11 PC. I've filled out the license information requested at: https://support.ptc.com/appserver/lm/mathcad/call_logger/callLogger.jsp. After filling in the information and submitting it, the page says I should receive an email response within 2 hours, and if I don't that I should contact PTC. It's been nearly 4 hours now and I've not received an email.Thank you.

Hi Guys,  I'm working on the rollout of MBD and boost in my company and facing a few problems that I can't find solutions for.   I'm exporting Sheetmetal parts to CreoViewer (.pvz file) with a combination state set as the flat pattern, but the export combination state does not reflect the Creo displayed model.  CREOVIEWER FLAT DISPLAY STATE:Creo Parametric Flat Display State:  If Someone could point me in the correct direction to get these creo PVZ file to export with the same info as creo parametric that would be ideal.  I've alot people who have abandoned all hope over this small problem.

I have a fairly simple parting faces quilt that I need to finish out but I can't get the boundary seam of the opposing cylinders to become tangent.  After completing the parting faces quilt I need to use the thicken option to uniformly thicken these faces to build a gutter model; as is I can only thicken the quilt to about .125 where it will need to be .500 in thickness.Shown below is the area I am struggling with.  The highlighted edges show the area that I am working on.  I have penciled the non-tangent seams in red.I have attempted different options from Boundary Blend to the Style function.  I have attempted this with and without curve rails in the red highlighted areas.   I know that there naturally is an area of twist due to the conflicting up facing and down facing cylinder extrudes.  Might there be some kind of option that would iron out the natural seams to allow tangency throughout?  (I also tried this as a simple 4 sided boundary

While using the Creo plugin within Hexagon’s PC-DMIS to load an MBD model, I’m seeing some additional dimensions in PC-DMIS that were not actually created in Creo MBD Model.I’ve checked the annotations and combination states—everything looks clean in Creo. Is this a known issue with the plugin or PMI interpretation?Any suggestions to control or filter what PC-DMIS reads from the Creo model would be helpful.

When zooming in Creo Parametric 10.0.5 the text turns into squares. The more I zoom in the more characters turn into squares. Collegues do not have this problem. How do i fix this?

Hello, I often find the floating dashboard that appears when selecting something to be located right over what I am trying to work on in both the drawings and models. Is there some way I can simply dock it to one location? like the corners of the screen? See below picture for an example of the menu I am describing.   

Hello, everyone. The challenge is: How to identify wire harness/cable components directly from a repeat region.Version: Creo 10.Assemblies, parts, and skeletons can be easily identified from the common repeat regions. Then, piping and sheet metal parts can also be identified from their unique parameters. Is there a way to idenfity cables/wire harness components from their parameters or properties?- By clicking "Bill of materials" button from ribbon, we get the .txt file with cable details, but this is totally useless for general BOM purposes.- Adding a new parameter is not feasible, considering the "universe" of assemblies/parts that would need to be revised. Then, not this way. Thank you in advance.
