Dear all,

does anyone know if it is possible to call a Mathcad worksheet from a Fortran subroutine?

Any example or tip will be really appreciated.

Thank you very much for your help.

Mike,

thank you very much for your answer, but this is not exactly what I was looking for.

Probably I didn't give enough details in my previous message.

I have prepared a Fortran subroutine that calculates some input values for a Mathcad spreadsheet. The Mathcad spreasheet use these input values and give an output value that must be used in the Fortran subroutine for further calculations. This is the reason why I need to "call" somehow my Mathcad spreadsheet within my Fortran subroutine; but I am not sure if this is possible.

The other simple solution is to write again my Mathcad spreadsheet in Fortran (as you suggested) but this is what I am trying to avoid.

Thank you

Best regards

Mirella

It seems to me that this is more of a question for the Fortran software.

You can export out of Mathcad in a number of formats. What format does Fortran accept?
