This month's challenge is another geometry-based challenge - but it's non-Euclidean geometry. Given the following three points on a circle of radius 10 units, calculate the area of the spherical triangle: (5.339, 6.948, 4.819) (-4.018, -3.703, 8.375) (6.455, -6.679, -3.705) (Note that the point coordinates are rounded to three decimal places.)   Optional: Can you write a program or function that calculates the area for any three points on the surface? Is there a symbolic evaluation for three generic points (a,b,c), (d,e,f), and (g,h,k)?   Here is a 3D model in Creo 9 of the sphere and points:   Find the Mathcad Community Challenge Guidelines here!   Edit: the coordinates of the second point were incorrect. Wildly incorrect. I have no idea how I wrote down the wrong numbers.

The first two challenges were biased towards mechanical engineering. May’s challenge pertains to geometry. Create a worksheet in which you calculate (1) the diameter of a circle and (2) the length of a side of a square that yields the minimum combined area for a combined perimeter of 1 meter. This is an optimization problem. What tools within Mathcad can provide you with a result? Optional: How can you depict the results? Can you use a 2D plot or Chart Component to visualize the answer?Find the Mathcad Community Challenge Guidelines here!

Do you need to create a simple model defined by two Helical Sweep Threads - use the Mirror feature

Do you work in the engineering department responsible for product design?  We know that designers and engineers must address issues around cost, compliance, and product redesigns. In many cases, this requires pulling data from different systems. We have created a solution vision that we want your feedback on. Through this approach, we would collect data automatically and deliver it via Windchill (PLM) to help you make data-driven design decisions and speed up the process of collecting and analyzing this data. The call will be hosted remotely using MS Teams or Zoom, and last approximately 45 - 60 minutes. You will be rewarded with a $50 honorarium in the form of an e-gift card. Interested?  Register here:  https://www.userinterviews.com/projects/6g1pRnFf_A/apply

Let’s face it, planetary gears are cool. They are used in all kinds of mechanisms, including transmissions, motors, and turbines. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to use Mathcad to build a worksheet that calculates the gear ratios and output speeds of a planetary gear under different configurations. The math behind the gear ratios is straightforward. But users should be able to select: The sun or planet carrier as the input; The planet carrier or ring as the output; and, The ring, sun, or planet carrier as the stationary component. How can the user select the desired component? How can you add intelligence to the worksheet to prevent an incorrect combination of input, output, and stationary? What inputs do you want for your calculator? You will have to make some choices. Your choices could include: Number of planets Number of teeth Component diameters Module / pitch Tools that you might consider include Combo boxes, programs, and functions involving strings. Here
