Mathcad

Hello, I am working on a simply supported beam calculator. I have everything up and working but I am having trouble when it comes to determining the maximum of the displacement and it's corresponding x value.  In the collapsible area under the loads you can see I have the various displacement equations and to find the total displacement I sum them up. I then need to find where this value is a maximum but I don't know how to do it other than reading it off the graph.  Is there a more elegant way to determine the maximum so I can define a function for maximum displacement and corresponding x-location. I have attached the sheet for reference. Thanks,Callum 

I want to frame a function to plot for Shear force 

Is it possible for me to mark a variable with a bar on top (see picture below) to indicate it’s a complex number? This is how I normally do it in WordMat:I understand that the bar is used for conjugation in Mathcad but it is how we are taught a complex numbers variable is displayed.

I want to plot the adiabatic flame temperature of a mixture, given the excess air present but I don't know how to tell/write the program to find the value given the excess air. I'm using Coolprop's fluid properties libraries to get the enthalpy of the mixture and mathcad prime 7.

Hi everyone Does anyone know if the setting of using ORIGIN in string indexing is stored in any variable? A work around would be to use one of the string functions and check what it returns.  

Hi does anyone know this issues?

Hi Guys, I'm new here and fresh with MathCad. I would be very grateful for help. I need a help with creating a matrix (15x15) which indicates distance between all floors. I have a table with height of each floor. Any suggestions?  

please help.

How to trace the curve on plot. I would like to generate the plot from data which is in my excel sheet

Hi allI am using Visual Basic for Application in Excel and am trying to pass an array of strings from Excel to Prime 8 through the API. I have managed to pass a matrix/array of numbers, but if I change the matrix content to strings, the OutputGetMatrixValue object fails with Errorcode = 7, suggesting "Matrix result is invalid." See Figure.png and below code. It appears not possible from the help documentation, see Figure2.png. Alternatively, I could convert the strings to unicode numbers, and then pass them to Excel through the below code, and then convert them back to strings. Or use a text file? Any suggestions for the easiest way forward? 'Get a matrix valueSet out2 = ws.OutputGetMatrixValue("out2")Dim q As VariantRowCount = out2.MatrixResult.RowscolCount = out2.MatrixResult.ColumnsReDim q(RowCount - 1, colCount - 1)For i = 0 To RowCount - 1For j = 0 To colCount - 1d = out2.MatrixResult.GetMatrixElement(i, j, dblhere)q(i, j) = dblhereDebug.Print "q(" & i & ","

I am in the process of writing an M050 worksheet, a patent disclosure, into Prime8. Quotient numerator and denominator are usually power series in root(s). In M050, simplify gives me a quotient in integral power of the complex variable, (s). Nothing seems to work in Prime8. This is so basic; it is a nuisance. I must be doing something wrong.

Does anyone know how to turn off the green outline that appears around duplicate variables in Prime 8.0? It even occurs around subsequent members of an array, which are technically not the same variable. Please see the attached screen shot. The green outline didn't exist in Prime 7.0 but suddenly showed up in Prime 8.0. I would like to get rid of it since it doesn't appear very professional in a printout. 

HI i dont know who i cant convert the file from xmcd to mcdx. can some kind soul help me to convert it ?

Hello do anyone have a work around for the following problem, i am trying to multiply the terms within Tidx by Phi and b, of which i get the correct result (when undefined). when i try to define that to put into another equation it pull through an error.   Sheet attached thank you 

How do I get the lbf-ft units always when evaluating the equation. I need to enter it manually  always  I am using USCS unit system should I change it?

Hi everyoneIs it possible to install (permanently) E-books (like for example one of my favorites "dynamassist" or "Images") in a directory different from the /Handbook directory, where I have no write rights?I have seen, I can open an E-book wherever I want, but the ones stored in /Handbook remain available also after closing and starting MathCAD again.  Thanks a lot!Best regardsClaudio

Hi guys i am having a error when trying to find a Phi value between two types; essentially if Srtype is "cohesive" for that layer of ground then Phi should be = to 0 deg. Else read from the value from the table for the following increments and so on...... sheet is attached,  thank you and help would be appreciated  

Hello, I am trying to solve a system of differential equations to calculate the change of temperature and pressure in switchgear during an arc fault. The equations are as follows:where C2 equals: "T" is temperature and "p" is the pressure, PL is the power of the arc which is a function of time and is calculated earlier. The rest are constants.I've attemped to calculate this in Mathcad Prime 8 using the rkfixed function, inputting the full equations with the C2 factored into the them:I've input "T" as "y0" and "p" as "y1" in the equations using the matrix index operator. The first equation if for temperature and the second for pressure. The initial conditions are for the initial temperature of 300 and pressure of 101325. I'm getting an unknown error which roughly translates to "calling object expection". It does seem to dissapear when i replace one of the "y0" or "y1" variables with a constant in the second equation, but not in the first. However the results are then inco

Where does the server/daemon information get added on a Mathcad/PTC license file ?I'm getting an error 1067, and my log says:  License manager can't initialize. No server lines in license file.

I'm looking for a way to convert this from .xmcd to .mcdx, but I can no longer download Mathcad 15. What can I do?

I'm developing a MathCAD worksheet in Prime7 that works with data extracted from input matrices.  I cannot figure out how to take two variables, each of which comprise a 12 row x 1 col matrix, and compare each pair of values row by row to find the Maximum value, then spit that row's maximum value out into a new resulting column matrix. My last attempt at a programming block with a simple concept is at the end of the worksheet, but instead of producing a column matrix only goes straight to the last iteration value and reports it. Worksheet attached...thanks for any help!

Hello,  I tried to calculate the  price in euros but unfortunately I am not able to view it in Euros. I could view it view it only in the form the declared currency. How can I resolve it
