Hi, I want to get vectors of the same length. Is it possible to do this Thanks in advance

Hi,    I'm trying to solve the Differential equation of motion using the comand rkfixed, however I'm not getting.   The correct form to write the equation is in the captura in the attachment, but the Mathcad not solves it, just solve if the mass divide all terms (stiffiness and damper)   Can anyone help me please?  

I'm a Mathcad newbie and consider myself fortunate to have been able to generate a crude surface plot of a function of two variables. This plot may be spotlighted as part of a History Channel series episode that will begin shooting in about three weeks. As such I want it to appear as "professional"-looking as possible. I have several questions:[1] I want to "stretch" the plot in the y direction [range 0 to 4,000 feet] but have been stymied thus far. [Note: In a true-scale drawing of the plot, the y-direction side of the rectangle would be an order of magnitude longer than its x-direction counterpart. That’s obviously not achievable, but it would be nice to make the plot as narrow as possible.] PTC Mathcad Help, under Component Structure, states that “The plot area…displays the plot of the X and Y expressions defined in the Inputs area. You can use the component block handles to resize the chart area in the x, y, or both directions.” Problem is, I can’t find those handles.[2] Is it poss

Hello! I hope you all are having a wonderful evening/day/afternoon/night!   I am new to this forum so I'm not sure if I should post this here - I couldn't seem to find a better place to put this. I use MathCAD for Engineers without Borders work, and I have been using it for 3 years now. I have been updating and using 3 files primarily for our calculations. After half a year using these files, they suddenly have stopped doing math. Attached is a picture of one of the files.   As you can see, the text boxes are fine, but the actual mathboxes are opaque and do not do any math functions. When I try to type more math functions, it still does not work. When I open it in MathCAD express 6.0.0, I get the same result.  When my co-lead opens it in MathCAD Prime 3.1 or Express 6.0.0, she runs into the same problems.   When I open an entirely new file in MathCAD Prime 3.1, it works perfectly as MathCAD should be.   I have attached the files for your convenience.   Th

I tried finding that but it said value must be scalar or matrix. I need help

I can no longer select a part of an equation in Mathcad Prime 5 or 6..   With the cursor in an equation, pressing the space bar no longer selects an item in the equation. I used to be able to press the spacebar and select a variable. Repeated pressing of the spacebar extended the part of the equation being selected. Now pressing the spacebar with the cursor in an equation does nothing.   Pressing the left or right arrow key moves the cursor within the equation but pressing shift while using the arrow key does nothing. It used to select a portion of the equation.   Pressing shift while using the mouse to drag the cursor used to select a portion of the equation. Now it selects the whole equation.   I thought maybe my Mathcad 5.0 file was corrupted so I downloaded the trial version of Mathcad Prime 6.0 and have the same problem. BTW the trial version of 6.0 is useless. There is a big watermark diagonally across the page. It is so dark that in the confusion I can't see

Mathcad Help, under Component Structure, states that “The plot area…displays the plot of the X and Y expressions defined in the Inputs area. You can use the component block handles to resize the chart area in the x, y, or both directions.” I want to "stretch" a surface plot in the y direction only- -leaving the x and z dimensions of the plot as they are now- -but cannot access the abovementioned “handles” to do this.  

I am trying to get the individuals units from the sheet and I cant seem to get it working could someone help me out 

Hi Something strange, very simple example, nothing special, but it doesn`t work MC15 file is attached, thanks in advance

I'm using a Given - Find block for an equation with multiple solutions. I'm trying to use an inequality sign "<" to force the solver to give me a solution in a certain range of values. The solver seems to ignore the inequality sign. Is this a bug? Does the Given Find block ignore inequality signs? Or am I doing something wrong?

I try adding 355.302°F+9°F which should equal 364°F. However, mathcad keeps giving me 823.972°F. It doesn't care if I use the variables or direct numbers.

I have a MathCAD 15.0 worksheet that calculates the moment and depth of embedment for a cantilevered pile and when I converted it to Prime 6.0.0.0, the "solve" command does not solve the equation that provides a solution in the MathCAD 15.0 worksheet.  I have tried toggling the Legacy Symbolic Engine option with no success.   I would appreciate a review of the attached worksheets and comments on how to set up the equations in Prime 6.0.0.0 to solve the equation.  The equation I am referring to is listed in Step 4 and is Dembed.   Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, we currently have several floating permanent/subscription licenses for Mathcad 15. Would this license work with Mathcad Prime or would we have to purchase separate licenses for it? Additionally, how would licensing work if we wanted to keep our network licenses for Mathcad 15 and also have network licenses for Mathcad Prime set up?   It has been hard to navigate finding information on this specifically, sorry if this has been posted already or if this is the incorrect location. Thank you!

I have used a regression line to find a curve fitting my datapoints.Now I want to know the lowest point on my curve and I am trying to find that by finding the point where the derivative of the regression line is 0.   So I made a formula g(a) using the results from the regress function (by refering to entries in the regress solution matrix). I can use this function correctly to plot the curve and to calculate results for different values of a. However when I want to get the derivative it gives me a formula including the regress function. Solving the derivative for 0 is impossible.   To check if I use the correct functions I also made a formula h(a). Basically the same as g(a), but now I have manually typed the results from the regress function in the formula, instead of linking to the regress solution matrix. Now I can get the derivative and solve for equal to 0. However this is not convenient if my datapoints change, because I have to manually update h(a) each time.   I

Hello,   I tried to calculate a matrices with a matrix that includes a variable with a set of numbers.  Putting an array instead of a constant number ( Vbat -->M1,1)  to the matrix the solver tells the error "This variable is undefined". Is it possible like I tried or is there another solution to calculate the same matrix again and again in an loop and set different given values, how to extract the results? I found some examples but I don´t know how to transfer to my problem.   Thank you 

I am trying to make a comprehensive UNIFAC model program (it is an activity coefficient model used in chemical engineering). Currently I have it running and it works correctly, except for the user to be able to use this program for any size mixture system, they must edit the component matrices manually. For instance, if there are two species in the mixture, the user must edit the first vector to have two components and input the corresponding values, and they must edit the second matrix to have two rows and then they must input the corresponding values. What I want my program to be able to do is have the user input the number of components and this variable will produce both the vector and the matrix of the correct corresponding sizes. After these are created, then the user needs to be able to edit the values of the matrix and input the data that they need to run. I know how to make both vectors and matrices of variable sizes but what I need help with is making these resultant vectors

There's no error in the worksheet, but the answer is incorrect. How do i define in Mathcad so that it would read each scalar in the array instead of a whole.  (Mathcad 15)

At the moment my students work with sin, cos , tan. As simple equation the should calculate the intervall where  5sin(x) is at least 3. In Prime 5 one gets the (first) 2 solutions at once: But in Prime 6 there is only one solution:  To get the 2. solution one has to use the "solver block" which makes things complicated. Why is it that P6 can solve fewer equations than 5 and sometimes gives fewer solution and I cannot find a way to get all the solutions with solve?? Bug or Feature ??? I figured that "new calculation engine" means better calculation engine ....

Hi,  I have a problem when using a defined vector in a function. As you can see below, the variable (i), goes from 1 to 3 with increments of 1. When I use this variable in the function Dl(i) and Di(i) it returns one extra value in the answer, (0). (See where the arrow is pointing in the picture below)   This becomes a problem when I later on is going to use i.e. Di(i) in the equation shown below: What I want to do is to remove this "extra" 0 for all functions of (i) Anyone that can help me out?

Hello,   I'm working on a sheet which should update the options in a second (and third) list-boxes based on the selection of the first and second. (ie. selection a type of steel elements, the second list populates the options for steel grade depending of the element type selected).   The bug is that the later boxes don't update until they're clicked on. I want the lists to update automatically once the previous selections are completed.    I'm fairly new to the control script so I think the issue likely lies in my sequence.    Any help?
