The various equations for finding required Cv for valve sizing contain what look like dimensional constants that depend on the units chosen. For example:But, I'm having trouble using this equation in Mathcad, since I don't know what is included in the constant 63.4 and I don't know if Cv should have any units or not. Anybody have any experience or ideas? Please see the worksheet attached. Thanks for any help you can lend.
I created a 2D plot for two dependant variables and one independant variables. The plot is for dowel bearing strengths of wood loaded parallel and perpindicular to grain. The actual values loaded parallel to the grain vary from 3400 psi to 9000 psi and those perpindicular to grain vary from 1500 psi to 6250 psi. The mathad plot shows them as 10,000,000 to 40,000,000 psi

Tough question:I am making a mathcad file where i want to see the influence of the traffic load on the structure. According to NEN-EN-1991-2 (Trafficloads on bridges)The selfweight part is easy, cause it is depending on the chosen structure. But the question is: How to determine the Moment and Shear distribution in such a way that different load cases can show the influence to the (different) beam configurations.Where the difficult part will be the freedom to apply different load combinations and different beam configurations.I hope you have an idea what i want and that you are able to help me.
Units in romanI challenge anyone to find a scientific paper or a book in any science or engineering discipline, published by a reputable company, in which units are shown in italics. Please let me know if you find one! In state-of-the-art publishing, units are printed in roman (upright and not bold).“The International System of Units”, now adopted throughout the world, specifies which units to use and how to write them. Defined in the SI Brochure , it is clear on the subject:Chapter 5: Writing unit symbols and names, and expressing the values of quantitiesUnit symbolsUnit symbols are printed in roman (upright) type regardless of the type used in the surrounding text. They are printed in lower-case letters unless they are derived from a proper name, in which case the first letter is a capital letter.The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, has published “The NIST Guide for the use of the International System of Units”, whic

Dear Mathcad Helper,As shown in the attached sheet, I am trying to solve a non-linear system with 2N+5 equations. Among the 2N+5 equations, there are N+1 equations for one type of conditions, N+1 equation for another type of conditions and 3 individual separate equations. The number of unknowns is 2N+5. The unknowns are grouped in one (N+1)-vector, one N-vector and another 3 separate unknowns. Here are two questions:Is there a way to use correctly the range variable “i” in order to formulate in a compact manner the two types of conditions? I have difficulties with the range variable “i”.Is the regrouping of unknowns within multiple separate arrays (i.e. B and η) legal within a Find function? If not, what would be a nice solution? Note: So far, the only one way I have been able to solve (partially) the non-linear equation system is to defined N as a single integer value, to explicitly write all 2N+5 equations one by one, and
Microsoft Excel blamed for gene study errors - BBC News Researchers trying to raise awareness of the issue claim that the spreadsheet software automatically converts the names of certain genes into dates. ... The researchers claimed the problem is present in "approximately one-fifth of papers" that collated data in Excel documents. The trio, writing for the Melbourne-based academic institute Baker IDI, scanned 3,597 published scientific papers to conduct their study. They found 704 of those papers contained gene name errors created by Excel. Ewan Birney, director of the European Bioinformatics Institute, does not blame Excel and told the BBC: "What frustrates me is researchers are relying on Excel spreadsheets for clinical trials." The Excel gene renaming issue has been known among the scientific community for more than a decade, Birney added. He recommended that the program should only be considered for "lightweight scientific analysis". Sounds like a Mathcad opportunity to me ...
I have a file done on version 14 and I try opening it on version 15. I's grayed out unless I zoom in like 200%. Is there any button under some menu turned on and I don't know about it? Any help'd be appreciated.Thanks.
Hello,For a Mathcad calculation I am trying to make use of an IF statement in Mathcad 15. At the top of the sheet I ask the user of the sheet whether they want calculation "A" or "B" through a List Box Control. I have set name "A" to correspond with value "0", and name "B" to correspond with value "1". This value is then stored as follows:Then further down in the Mathcad sheet, I want to make an IF program that calculates a function in one of two ways, depending on the value of Storage. I tried to make it like this, but that did not work:Does any of you have tips for me on how to do this? I know that what I am currently doing makes no sense in Mathcad language, but I think it best illustrates my problem.Thanks in advance!Tim
My computer died and I am trying to re-install Mathcad 14 with Windows 10. I am getting many error messages (many for help files which seem to be where they are supposed to be but the install program cannot find). But the error I could not get past wasERR 1904.ModuleC:\Program Files(x86)\MathCad\MathCad14\mcformsr.ocx failed to register HRESULT-2147220473Any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to update a bunch of Mathcad 14 sheets to Prime 3.0, and I know Prime 3.0 does not have drop down menus like Mathcad 15 does. Is there any other function on Prime 3.0 that can serve the same function? I have attached a Mathcad sheet that I need to update to Prime 3.0 that has drop down menus, any help would be very much appreciated.Thanks,Matt
hi,im trying to make the jump from excel to prime for good.im trying to find how to create data from a table. In a very basic example if I create a 2 by 3 table with 1, 2 and 3 in the first two columns, how in mathcad do I calculate a third column that would return for example the multiplication of column 1 and 2 (appreciate this is actually column 0 and 1?in excel I would have typed =A1*B1 and dragged down through column C. Then I could do things like evaluating the sum of any column or row. Looking to see how this is acheived in mathCaD. If there is an existing tutorial on this id appreciate being pointed in the right direction.cheers,andy ps on my phone which is why this message looks like it's written by a child.
HiI am unable to calculate inverse of the matrix. The result is taking accuracy upto 3 decimal places. Even I tried to change decimal precision from "Math Formatting Option but the error become unchanged. "Please find given image and attached file for your reference. for your reference:
Hi EveryonePlease help me to add row of any Matrix array. I am able to add individual but in my example case I am unable to do so. Please help in this regard.Find attached sheet for your reference.
Hi guys,I need to plot some raw data (experimental) and a function representing a model on the same set of axes in order to compare accuracy of the model relative to the experimental data. I am able to plot each one on separate axes without any problem, however when I try to add the vector containing the raw data to the y axis of a plot of the function, I get an error that states "the value must be real".Please advise on how to resolve this.
Using the root function, I have plotted a graph to show the I-V characteristic of a PV cell which is characterised by the implicit equation:I=Iph-Io [exp((q(V+IRs))/akT)-1]- (V+IRs)/RshVarying any of the parameters within the equation is expected to affect the I-V characteristic in a particular way. The plotted graphs takes on the expected shape but when I try to change the value of temperature, the plot shifts in an unexpected direction. Increasing temperature should lead to a decrease in open-circuit voltage and thus decrease in output power, but the model I've plotted suggests the opposite i.e. an increase in temperature leads to an increase in open circuit voltage which contravenes PV theory. Short circuit current (current when V=0) has a (slight) positive temperature coefficient while open circuit voltage (voltage when I=0) has a negative temperature coefficient.In contrast, when I vary other parameters like , Iph, Io , Rsh and Rs, the results are consistent with PV theory e.g. in

Hello everyone,I have the differential equation m∙x ̈+C∙x ̇+k∙x=0 and i know only the mass, do you know if there is a way to find the coefficients C and K? do you think this can be solved with odesolve if i declare some initial conditions?
