Mathcad

I have been having problem with Mathcad Prime 3.1 crashing lately.  First, when I load my files, some random equations will be red-circled as "Unknown Error: mpl%_Exception".  (see attached image).  As soon as I start changing the values on my worksheet, Mathcad would crash.At first, I thought it might be migration issue from my Prime 2.0 file to Prime 3.1, but I realized even if I try a simple calculation in a new file, Mathcad would crash.  ex. a:=1m, b:=2m, c:=a+b=  (see attached image)I am now stuck, not being to load any of my worksheets.  Could anybody offer any suggestion or explanation?  I am running Mathcad Prime 3.1 Express, on Windows 7 service pack 1, 64bit.  Intel Core i5-3470 CPU 3.20GHz, 8 GB RAM.  I did try reinstalling the software with same result.Thanks in advance for helping out.

We use Mathcad for calculations of structural design and create a report of it to be submitted to the customers. While I have created a Mathcad file having set of calculations for standard product, there is a slightly different variant of that product that requires slightly different calculations to be incorporated than the standard one. Now, I want to standardise the template of the report such that, there will be two options (Radio buttons etc) in the beginning to select the variant, and based on the selection the set of calculations will be displayed. Thus I don't have to create two different types of template for the same product.The way of doint it can be hiding and unhiding corresponding regions/pages based on the selection of variant but I don't know how to do it.Any thoughts?

Hi all, I have a long equation calculated by Symbolic solve. It is very long and it is very time consuming to tell the coefficients of each term. Can anyone help me with the attached mathcad file? Thank you!

From CreoParametric 3.0 M030 you can embed a MathCAD sheet into your model. That works fine with CreoParametric, but I do not know how to make this information contained in the MathCAD sheet visible in CreoView.Any ideas?

Can anyone help me evaluate this integral?

Narrow backfill is a common practice in hard rock excavation.  Most common cases are construction of retaining walls with a short distance from rock face cut which is usually carried out vertically.The formula used in calculations is partially derived using symbolic calculations. The formula is similar to that to compute pressure on varied pipes.  Kee H. Lee, P.E.

Can anyone help me with this integration?. I cannot seem to complete the integration.Thanks

Hi all, if I have the three variables in three equations, would you advise me how to use mathcad to express the derived expression of the variables?I have three unknown variables x,y,z, and three pre-defined values a, b and c. If I have x+y+z=ax+2y+3z=bx+3y+4z=cwould you teach me how can I use mathcad to express x, y, z as the expressions of a, b and c, instead of assigned the numbers to a,b and c then solve x,y,z as the fixed numbers? Thank you!

Hi, guys,As shown in the photo,What's the differences between i and 1i?Is it possible to use an operator or a function to find the magnitude (or angle) of a symbolic complex function? Hope you could help me.May the force be with you guys.Shawn

I am getting error after a solve block that reads "value must be scalar or matrix". Attached is my code below. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, guys,for the vibration, how to represent U/U0 in terms of r, where r is equal to w/wn, and wn=(k/m)^1/2, as the natural frequency?Please see the attachment.Thank you in advance.May the force be with you!Shawn

Hi all,I have a macro that takes data from Excel and places the data into a MathCAD object within Excel. The MathCAD sheet then recalculates and spits out an answer back into Excel.Here is the problem: I can open Excel, push "Run", and the data gets spit out in about 20 seconds, but if I hit Run again (whether the data changes or not), the processing time increases to about 90 seconds. Obviously this is not preferred for a lot of data.I've tried to open & close the tab in a different workbook, but then my macro doesn't recognize the MathCAD object.Any ideas on how to cut down the runtime?

GuysThis should be pretty straight forward for someone who knows Mathcad prime3 - As I'm pretty useless at rearranging formula's can mathcad prime 3 do this for me?See attachedThanksI'm trying to make alpha the subject - I think I'm doing this right  but its coming up with solution not possible?  If I was to give the lambda1 etc figures would I get an answer?This is Prime 3.1.Those of us still in 3.0 would like to help, but . . .As Fred says, we would like to help, but those of us with Prime 3.0 can't read your Prime 3.1 file. If you post a pdf of your worksheet you might get more suggestions.I would do but it Looks like I can only upload a picture of 2mb?This document was generated from the following discussion: Re-arranging formula

My job requires a fair amount of frequency identification, so I've gotten reasonably acquainted with Fourier analysis.  Last week someone made the statement that a "Prony analysis" might be better to sort out two close frequencies (117 Hz and 120 Hz) in a five second record sampled at 2000 Hz. I started to formulate an example sheet for this analysis, using as an example a known signal.  When Prime 3.0 began to frustrate me (declaring both "Find" and "Minerr" as undefined variables after the solve block ha been happily computing for some time,) I switched to version 15 (old tried and true.)Now in addition to not being able to make sense of what Prony was doing I have two sets of answers for what is (as closely as I could mimic) the same set of math.Attached are two files; the Prime file lays out the Prony method as found in the literature.  The version 15 file is a quickly generated version of the Prime file, I've tried to keep the notation the same for ease of compariso

Hello,I need a little help in mathcad program to get the mean values of few columns(every third column) in a big m*n matrix. See  the attached image for description.I want to find the mean of highlighted columns, What I did now is I wrote a program to pull the highlighted columns into a new matrix and then I wrote an another program to find the mean of values in every row. I wonder if there is any way to find the mean of intermediate columns using one program without pulling these values into a new matrix and have an another program to find the mean for all the rows in that matrix. I could have attached my program file here but unfortunately I don’t have MathCAD in PC write now. Curious to get the answer by the time I go to my work tomorrow Thanks for your help!!Ashok

Hi there,For one of my engineering classes, we are designing a fluid distribution system and this involves the use of mathcad because of the process.We need iterative solutions to find our flow rates which in turn allows us to see our fluid velocities and pressure changes.Initially, we had our code working, but we're running into problems when making it short to print out for our final report.In our solve block, we are currently forced to use drawn out versions of our functions.We tried a couple different ways of shortening it.1)and are getting this error2)and get the same errorWhat I don't understand is why the solve block works when the long, drawn out version of the function is used, but doesn't when it is shortened.It should work. They are all equivalent.I am solving for Q (flow rates) only.I've attached the working version and the not working version of my sheet.Can anyone clue me in as to why I'm getting this error?

As an extension to Valery's Mathcad Prime Minister (Submatrix and Subvector), I'd like to propose the following extensions to Mathcad's subarray functions (unfortunately, I can't post worksheets to Valery's PM thread, otherwise I'd have posted this there).:The new submatrix function interprets negative indices as counting from the end of an array (ie, -1 == last row or column index).  The functions subvector (which has been in my library for a long time) is simply a specialized form of the new submatrix (a variant of which I've also used for a long time).  I've also included the functions firstrows, lastrows, firstcols, lastcols, rowends, colends and matends.   The first 4 are hopefully suggestively named.  The latter 3 are intended to provide a compact view of the first and last few elements of an array (I often find it convenient to look at the first and last values of an array calculation).Stuart

Dear All,   I would like your help to solve the display problem that i'm having with excel object embedded in mathcad. The display is moving when i click outside the excel object, and i can not look the view from excel in mathcad.   Thanks in advance,   Pedro       (view in My Videos)

Я студент, как мне получить лицензию для MathCad Prime 3.0?

HiI have been through many posts but i am not able to plot the attached expression. Can you please tell where i am doing mistake?I am expecting a periodic square waveform toggling between +/-24V with on and off period 5us.Here I used Ton,Toff as a cons; x as a variable and Vlp(x) as a function.<Unfortunately when instead of Variables I used to substitute assigned Numerical value it works>

Hello guys,This is my first post ever, and I need a response ASAP. I have been working on my Physical Chemistry Homework for 2 days now and while I was just about to finish, something odd happened. It told me the file was corrupt and shut down. I have attached the error message that appears. This is due tomorrow and I really need help!!! I have attached my file as well. Please help!!!!
