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)

Mathcad predict function and Rub/$ ratio

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?

It is the Mathcad-solution this Alphabetical Puzzle in my old book! Can you recreate Mathcad-sheet?

Ran across this: Has this been seen before? And how do Mathcad 15 and Prime fare? Hmm: This I can check in Prime Express: No error either...   Luc

I work at a large university and just found out that our computer people are uninstalling the few remaining seats of Mathcad in my college (if a university was a company, a college would be a division). Unhappily, Mathcad is effectively being removed from my college. We can buy licenses for $500 per seat, but there isn't enough money; 50 seats would be $25,000.I had planned to stick with MCAD 15 for another year or two, but I'm afraid circumstances may be forcing my hand. If you were going to introduce a number crunching program to undergraduate students who often have no prior experience, which of these would you pick:- Mathematica- MATLAB- MapleThese are all widely available on campus and there is a user base to rely on. I like MATLAB and it's really easy to get (Amazon), but the programming interface is dated and simulink has a learning curve. Maple is easy to get (Amazon), seems to be both easy to learn and capable. Mathematica is very powerful and easy to get, but there is a learn

Hi. Does any one in the forum know if Mathcad can be used to evalate a result and report if the solution is placed outside a predefined range.   For example. I expect to recieve a result between 1 and 5. If the result ends up in a value of e.g. 10 I want to be able to read that the result is out of range. Preferably in a warning message.

Hello All, Happy New Year,      I am attempting to complete a curve fitting with Bessel functions as described in the reference below. The core concept is the minimization of the coefficients ck of the Hankel transform. See screenshot below.        I am not familiar enough with Mathcad to put together the code at first sight.      (I found the minimize function, but as far I can tell, it would work on the variable r which isn't the parameter needing optimization.)        Could please someone  direct me to a template I can use for the task ?   For clarification * r radius * f(r) (discrete) thickness profile * ck coefficient of the Bessel decomposition * f(r)^ simulated function * Q cost function for minimization * Qo(n) cost function w/ minimized coefficients ck   The challenging task, I need with, is the minimization of the function Q, acting on the ck coefficients.   Thanks for the support, &nbs

Team,   I'm trying to use the Mathcad minerr function with a recursive equation. Ideally, the terms, r, tau, alpha, and K would be found, using initial "guess" values, Kindly see the attached sheet.    Thanks, Glen Atlas, MD, MSc  

Hello why can I not solve this I want to solve Q to me in [m^3/hr]

If you try to edit any data (for example a single numerical character) in the program sections of the attached worksheet you have to wait 2 or 3 seconds before getting a reaction. This makes very difficult to continue to add new lines of program. Is this behaviour connected to intrinsic capabilities of Prime? Thank you

I'm using Mathcad Prime 5.0.   I have the following function defined. The intent if for this function to be very generic and allow any number of inputs.  Therefore, Vin and Rin are vectors of the same length.  Here's how those are setup. The function itself works fine.  Now, I need to take the derivative of that function with respect to the individual components of Rin.  The intent is to estimate how much effect the variation of each individual component has on the overall output.  Ultimately the expression and number of parameters will be bigger than what I've shown here.  I just scaled everything back to a simpler example to illustrate the actual problem.  I was hoping the derivative with respect to Rin would give me a vector of the numerically evaluated derivative with respect to each individual resistance.  Instead it tells me everything has to be scalar. I found some old posts similar to this dating back to 2004 and 2005.  They

With cone? plane and ellipse all is cleare. See please cone, plane, parabola  Thanks! And what about a parabola?  I know O-F - can I calculate the theta? Can the cone axis goes through the focus of the parabola?
