How to minimize this error: The symbolic result returned is too large to display, but it can be used

Question

Hi
 
How can you minimize this kind of error:
The symbolic result returned is too large to display, but it can be used in subsequent calculation if assigned to a function or variable
 
I looked at the knowledge base questions and there are a lot of this kind of issue reported unfortunately they are quite hard for me to follow.
 
I see this error because the limitation of my computer or limitation of Mathcad Prime 6.0?
Can you provide and example of how to assign to a function or variable?
Below is what I am trying to do and it seems to work for T(s) and Z(s) but does not work for T0(s) and Z0(s) after I increase the complexity of T(s) a little more

And finally here is what I was talking about when I wrote about evaluating the elements of the result vector one by one:

Yes, that message is annoying and there is not much you can do.

1) Sometimes, when the result is a vector or matrix, it may work if you assign the result to a variable (or function, as you did) and evaluate the elements of the vector/matrix one by one

2) sometimes adding "simplify" or even "simplify,max" to the symbolic evaluation makes the expression small enough so that its allowed to be displayed.

Mathcad 15 has the same limitation, Mathcad 11 (the version LucMeekes is using) could be set up to evaluate expressions 20 pages wide and more, if necessary. Of course one might argue about the usefulness of expressions that large.
