Mathcad

I need to install full version PTC mathcad. The mathcad license was transferred on 12-07-2022

Edit: Possibly solved? That was quick... See bottom. How can I use a relative path when including reference worksheets? The documentation suggests it is possible: "By default the include region displays the absolute path to the referenced worksheet. You can edit the path and make it relative." I am collaborating with colleagues on a number of worksheets that include references to other worksheets. These are documents that 3 of us access and edit. We are currently using OneDrive, but the issue would remain even if all documents were emailed around. The "Include: path" changes, but all worksheets can exist in a single parent folder, or even a grandparent folder (which should work with a proper 'relative setup') I have tried various ways like: ../  or ./ or / or //https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/file-path-formats I have found some ancient* threads discussing and confirming this ability as far back as 2004, but nothing new, or recent

This month’s challenge is around field goals in American football. Create a Mathcad worksheet where you calculate the following angles from a given line of scrimmage for making a field goal: The horizontal angle between the left and right field goal posts (18.5 feet apart). The vertical angle between the horizontal bar of the goal post and the upper height of the goal post arms. How can you show how those angles change as a function of the line of scrimmage?   Factors to take into consideration: Assume the football is kicked from one of the hash marks (offset from the center of the field) and 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage. The goal post is located at the back of the end zone. The horizontal bar is 10 feet above the ground and extend another 35 feet. For this exercise, the football must pass through the box defined by the goal post. American football uses yards, feet, and even inches, so you might want to take advantage of units in Mathcad. Bonus: Can your worksheet hand

I have a text file with comma delimited numerical data.  I read it in to the "ld" table and then have a program to parse through and build a matrix from the data (data file attached).  My questions: 1) Can I replace the "11" in my for statement with something like "length of (ld)" so my code works when I change the number of rows of data? 2) Is there a way to build the Ypos matrix without using the intermediary Yp matrix?  I know Ypos is only defined inside the program - but is there a way to make it "global" or such? 3) Is it possible to populate 2 different matrices with 1 program?  So my code would create both a Yp and a second matrix?  If my code creates a Ypos and Yneg how would I pass both of them out?  thanks,relayman357  

If I copy several rows of code from a program, and paste them in I get an extra "indention" set of double bars.  I want the pasted code to have the same "level" as the code in which I'm pasting it.

Hi, I was doing some calculations using Prime 7 and Excel through macros. Basically, the program passes some values from Excel to Mathcad to calculate and the results are printed back to Excel. It worked fine. I recently formatted my laptop and installed Prime 8. I am waiting for the license so, in the meantime, I am using the 30-days trial with full functionality. I tried to use the same Prime-Excel program but it shows the following error when I run the macro: "User-defined type not defined". I have the Ptc.MathcadPrime.Automation.tlb file to VBA, as shown in the attached image. Is there something I am missing? Maybe this functionality is restricted to users with license? Thanks!

Hello,I am trying to insert a bitmap image into the header of MathCAD 15, its size is about 124kB. Could someone assist me with it ? I get an error saying the tool is unable to read the file.Thanks!

None of my printer options are available in Prime 6.0, is this normal? This is what I see in Prime 6.0: These are the drivers on my computer: I would expect Adobe PDF to show up in Mathcad too. I see this article from PTC "How to create PDF of worksheets from Mathcad and Mathcad Prime", but is that really the only solution? Export to rich text > open in rich text editor > print to PDF cannot be the only workflow (i.e., 3 steps involving 3 different applications every time I want to print to PDF - what!?) I tried repairing and reinstalling Mathcad and Adobe, but Adobe PDF driver still does not show up as an option. Does anyone know if printing directly to PDF is supported in Prime 6.0, and how to fix it if it is?

Hi everyone,I trying to program conditions to solve the calculate the settlement which is base of some conditions but i could not, every trial has a new wrong outputs or errors, I will be thankful for your help if possible, -  if initial eff. stress equal to pre-consolidation stress then use eq1 thanotherwise check ifinitial eff. stress bigger than pre-consolidation stress AND init. stress + changes in stress smaller than pre-con then use eq 2other wise check ifinitial eff. stress bigger than pre-consolidation stress AND init. stress + changes in stress Bigger than pre-con then use eq 3 then use eq2 than

I am trying to get a control looking something like this (from another piece of software) The nearest I have been able to get is this And even this is showing an errorI have a feeling that what I want is not possible but it would be great if I could be proved wrong!  

I'm having trouble getting a minimization function to work for my HETP graph.

This works just fine in a fresh worksheet; however, in my more complex Ballistics worksheet, I get the following error. Both worksheets are attached.Even if I close and reopen the ballistics worksheet, the problem persists.😫Thanks for any help.Reg

Hello, Can someone tell me why Mathcad isn't able to solve this simple variable? This command works everytime but with these types of equation it doesn't:  I have tried other commands but it still doesn't work:   The solution is quite simple, but I would like it to do it automatically:   Can somebody help me? Sorry if there are mistakes in my english. Thank you. 

Hi Folks, I'm converting V15 files to run in Prime 8, but can't figure out out to remove the red arrows and red lines.  The file runs.  Right clicking on the arrows doesn't do anything.  I can't find anything in the online documentation.  I must be missing something.  Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks, Mark files using the converter in Prime 8.  

Is there a procedure to use the data from an referenced Excel file or matrix to populate a combo box? Thanks,

I'd like to specify a matrix size and have it filled with elements from a vector. For this example, I have a vector containing state names and I want to have them fill a 7x4 matrix. I'm running into 2 issues with the attached sheet:I'm very rusty on programming and matrix operations, so the only way I've been able to fill a matrix at the size I want is to reference the specific elements of the vector. I'm sure there's a simpler way to do this using a loop but I haven't been able to figure it outIf the vector changes size, I'd still like to be able to output a matrix with zeroes filling the rest of the nodes. Currently, if I set up a 7x4 matrix and the vector only contains 16 states, the output matrix errors outAny help with this would be greatly appreciated!  

Hi,we have MathCad 7.0 and MathCad 8.0 in use at our school. MathCad is licensed from a license server. For both products a floating license is specified on the license server.We want to restrict the access to the license server as far as possible by a firewall construct. Unfortunately MathCad does not only use port 7788 when issuing licenses, but has many other ports that are necessary to reach the server.Using a live view of our firewall, we were able to track which ports MathCad needs to reach the license server.Unfortunately, the port is always different, so even allowing a small port range is not possible. We noticed some ports in the range of 48000 - 57000, but unfortunately all of them are always different. Sometimes some at 49000, sometimes some at 54000, since today some are in the range 56000.Is it somehow possible to limit the port that checks the reachability of the server or to fix it to one port?Error message down below....  After changing the port in the firewa

My calculations fall over when I change to inches. Prime 8 Used. Then won't work when I chage back to cm      

Here a dispute arose.1. Is this closed curve (a phase portrait) an ellipse? The ellipse has two foci. How to calculate the abscissa of the focus of this "ellipse"? 2. Can this object be called a curve? The curve has a length. How to calculate the length of this curve?

Currently I am using excel for all my design calculation. I wanted to know if mathcad is better and how is it better. 

Set up program says that it cannot find the sw_license_email_95084.dat file. I cannot get MathCad to run! what do I do? I can email a snip of the screen.

Hello,I have now tried to download and install MathCad on my macs virtual machine Windows 10 64bit but all stops at unpacking 100% and tthe nothing happens. The window just closes. I have tried running as administrator and all other programs install well but not this one.How can I finally get it to install?I have tried installing it from my desktop NAD even created a TEMP folder in my C:/drive and installing it from there but the behaviour is the same - it never starts the install-wizardHow can I proceed?ThanksDominicus

I'm trying to use the free 30 day trial. MathCad appears to open and work, however the XMCD file converter does not work. I load a file and click convert, but it says "no license" under MCDX status and nothing happens. I received an email with a license file (.dat file type). I followed the instructions to install this license but again nothing appears to happen.
