Mathcad

Hi, is it possible to use Mathcad for optical ray tracing? I am able to do the ABCD gaussian beam propagation but wish to visualise the rays i.e. bouncing off mirrors.I am running Mathcad 15Thanks

I am still using MC 14.0. I had to re-install it because the motherboard on my computer went bad. Now, when I go to the Trace tab in plot format it comes up blank and clicking on anything but cancel crashes the program. Other tabs are fine. I installed the M020 release but that did not help. Any suggestions?  

I used the Mathcad to derive equations, but I noticed that the program gives a wrong derivate for the followingd[(x-1)/(4x*(1+x))]/dx, Mathcad gives the answer as [(-x+1)*x'*(x+1)+x(x+1)]/[4x*(x+1)^2], which is wrong. Would you please advise if anything caused such wrong answer?Thanks!

My students and me decided to check which oval Paint draws. It seems to be an ellipse. See pictures below and Prime 6 in attachment.But there was a suspicion that these are arcs of two pairs of circles - see Oval - Wikipedia. Problem. There are the coordinates of the four vertices of the "horizontal" oval. It is necessary to draw an ellipse through these points (this problem is solved) and an oval made up of arcs of two pairs of circles. What oval does Paint build? Maybe there is a third way?

Hello,Although not new to mathcad, I have never attempted anything other than a simple if statement with programming before. Today I decided to use a while loop so that I would not have to show all the iterative calcs written out in mathcad prime 6. Instead of having a condition attached to the while loop (for example "while n>0") I wanted to make my check based on an if statement at the end of the while loop. Essentially I would like the while loop to ALWAYS trigger unless a "break" or "continue" statement is reached within the while loop. I have posted my spreadsheet because I am really not sure how to even begin to guess what the issue is. In the mathcad sheet I wrote all of my initial calcs on the left. When I decided I wanted to condense them using mathcad programming, I developed the program on the right. Note that in the program my iteration check tolerance is based on the norm of the strain vectors which is different from my initial calcs where it was based on the distance t

I prepare my Mathcad figures for publication so that they are on a white background, not on a paper background. One of the solutions is to move the operator to the plot area with a white background.Are there any other solutions?

I would like to suggest that Mathcad implement the ability to create and use various types of probability paper:  normal probability, log normal probability and others

 Whenever units are induced within worksheet it gives some unexpected results. Can someone comment what I am missing in here 

Hi to all.I have tables with many elements which I must group according to type and sort them in ascending order based on column 2 of the table in the example file. I have tried to generate a small code but I do not get the desired result.I hope you can help me.I attach the file in mathcad Prime with an example of what I want to get.In advance thank you very much for the help.

Dear Support team, Is Mathcad 15.0 (M010 [MC15_M010_20110622]) compatible with Windows 10? Thanking you in advance. 

Hello everyone, I attached the work sheet by Prime7.I want to draw the graph of i1(t). But I can't  draw the graph. I tried without unit. But the result is same. Please advise me.

I wrote this file some time ago and I would like to think it worked.  Now I am being told the file can't be initialized.  I have left out something.  Help would be appriciated

As per this thread, new question:   how can I change every multiplication in a file instead of having to change each one individually?

Dear allplease help me  to solve as below:1- Short the Matrices Automatic (As Picture below)2- Automatic Numbering of Joint base on E Coordination (As Picture below)3- And then put (2) into to Initial Matrices (As Picture below)Best regards SPRstructur 

HiCan I solve for multiple inputs? 

HICSV DATA FILE and MATHCAD PRIME ATTACHED - ERROR ON PAGE 6. I need to put km "somewhere". Plotting skills limited!. Thanks for the help. 

I have been away a while and am having to remember/relearn things I use to do I have a file where I put comments on a plot.  When I click on the comment I get a text box around the comment, worked well.  I just dragged and dropped a comment on a plot I created however I cannot get the text box when I click on the comment.....I am missing a step....what is it

Hello everyone,I'm trying to use the "rotate" function obtained from the "plottool" collection downloaded from this community some time ago. I would like to know why the "rotatemesh" function is marked in red as it is evident from the following figure, while the function "rotate" which utilizes it, doesn't give error?:

I want to format the title of a Mathcad 15 plot (font, font size) separately from axis titles

 

Hi Folks,   I took a few minutes to visit the Smath Studio web site.  It seems to have come to life again and there is a new version available.  It's still pretty basic (think MCAD 2 or 3), but it is encouraging to see new activity.  Hopefully, it will achieve critical mass.   Mark    

The mathcad series commands generated an order 6 series. Is it possible to expand the equation to a higher rate? James

 Hi,I'm working on a quite big automation tool.I've come to a point where I'm making a function in one variable out of simple conditional statements with functions in more variables.When I try to let Mathcad show me it's symbolic answer, it gives me an error:"Unable to evaluate a conditional expression"I checked above that this is not the case.How can I solve this?Thanks in advance!Arne
