Mathcad

can you change text based on a formula without using the if statment.for example.sf = if(design = LRFD, "resistance factor", "shear factor"Can the above be done by another method?maybe programmingThanks

I need to modify programming codePlease. See the attachment file

Almost there guys.I've manage to draw the shear force diagram from some given numbers, I'm now trying to plot the bending moment diagram but for some reason I'm getting an error on the moment axis.any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - see attached.I'd like to show OOB with units of gram-millimeters (g.mm).When I change the units from m.kg to g.mm it adds kg.s^2/m.Can this be avoided?

I'd like to type something like this:Area = a x bwhere:a := 10b := 20Thus,Area = 200How close can I get in Mathcad?I've tried using the boolean "=" for the first statement but then can't get the last statement to work.

I'd like to show my working, is there anyway to make the last line work itself out automatically:E = stress / strainstress = F / Asubstituting and re-arranging:strain = F / (A.E)

Hi all, I am a new user to Mathcad and I have came up against a very tough problem. In the attachment (and image below) there is a table that looks up a value of Cy for a given K and M simple. The problem comes when the values for K and M are not a whole numbers for example - K=32 and M=0.23 then the value for Cy is in the range of 1.63 - 2.3. You need to interpolate between the four figures. Cy will actually equal - 1.7348I am looking to produce a Mathcad function that would allow me to look up any value of K and M. You help is much appreciated.Kind RegardsChris.

MathCad Prime is still useless and MathCad is clearly no longer being significantly supported. I need to reconfigure my license every few months. This time, it doesn't seem to work at all. I am pretty much terrified that I will lose all of my work of thousands of hours on MathCad (the legitimate versions of the past). Has anyone found a legitimate program alternative to MathCad 15.0? MathCad Prime is not worthwhile. Does anyone have any suggestions on what can work to recover all of that work without completely regenerating it? Thanks, Bill

Hello,I'm trying to 3D plot a solid defined by the X,Z coordinates and a constant for the width (Y). I am using the surface type to create a filled surface for each side of the shape. I am able to create most of the surfaces, but cannot figure out how to "fill in" the front and back faces.I have been searching the forums and have found examples of this, but none have shown a surface with more than four points, which I believe may be an limiting factor. I have tried numerous methods of how to arrange the matrix, but my understanding of the matrix structure required for the surface plot is limited.Please see attached worksheet.Thanks!

How does Mathcad handle sin and cos, appearantly Intels implementaion has its limitations...https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/289702On Linesin(36001)= 0.01745241MathcadExcel0,01745240643728350so not really relevant but better than Excel?Could be depending on the FU or GPU used, juts in case...regards

It seems that the numerical calculation in Mathcad only can process 16 significant figures, such as 123.4567890123456 or 123456789.0123456, and when the number have more significant figures, MC will round it to 16 or 17.I knew that symbolic calculation could process up to 250 decimal. But I need use it in the programming, and the result of the symbolic calculation can't use in programming.When I use:x:=x-trunc(x)x:=x*10^8-trunc(x*10^8)to get the number after 10^-8, I get a lot of number irrelevant! Look at the picture below:In my opinion, the result must be 98765432.11234568, but MC return a unacountable number! Is it another bug of MC15?And how should I do to increase the computational accuracy?In Mathcad Prime 2.0, the result is same:

Hi guys,I want to calculate spectral moments of a wave spectrum (of ocean waves). This involves the use of the transcendental equation to obtain the wave number k by iteration. I have calculated k for a limited set of wave frequencies, see sheet. However, I would now like to sum these wave numbers, but I am unable to do this. Can anybody help?I am new to Mathcad so maby Im just being stupid here.

I am about to buy Mathcad prime 3.0 student edition,does it come with Mathcad 15 m010 or above so i'll be able to convert mathacad legacy file or just the prime version itself?

Hi,Please can someone tell me why the second vector (V2) is different to the first (V1) in the attached workbook.Version: Mathcad 15.0

Am I missing something here, I lot of the disucssions people have said 'file attached' but I can't see anything. is this something I'm completly missing?

Hello folks,I do still have an unexpected result from the reverse function although it works as expected in some instances; see attached sheet.When creating an array and reversing the order of the second column then one sees in the graph the reversed function. I.e. last values being depicted first.However, when I do the same on some measurement data, all I get is the weird looking curve in the left graph.Does anybody have an explanation? Mike perhaps?Raiko

Dear all,Can anyone tell me how to get (from within Mathcad) the name of the folder(s) (not the files) within another folder ?Thanks to good answers from the community I can now read a list of files within a specific folder and also delete the one's which I want to discard.It works very well and I thank the mathcad champion's who answered my questions.I still need to type the name of the specific folder.In fact the main folder comprises many sub folder which themselves comprise the files to delete.May be someone already answered in a file which I cannot open because I have Mathcad 14 and not the last update because I have no administrator rights for the company laptop.Thank youYouki

Hello folks,I've got this weird result in MC15 with the reverse function; see attached work sheet. There you'll see depicted some measurement data and the reversed values. Why on earth doesn't this function behave as in the adjacent example of Q and Y?Any suggestions?RaikoP.S. I'm using MC15 on a 64 bit Win7 machine.

Hi all,I was wondering if anyone knows what internal precision (i.e., how many signficant digits) Mathcad Prime 2.0 carries when a variable is defined. I know that in the Math Formatting tab of the program, the user can change the display precision (up to 16 sig digits). However, once this regions is highlighted it specifically says that changing the display precision does not change the internal precision of the calculation. This to me suggest that the internal precision and the display precision are not "related". I guess the second part of my question (which depends on the answer to that above) is, can the internal precision of variables in Mathcad Prime 2.0 be changed to carry more significant digits?Thanks a million!Pedro

PSIs there a short name ofthe base US pressure units?

Hello,I'm wondering if it is possible to set up a function to calculate the density from the Beattie Bridgeman Equation. The equation is pressure as a function of the specific volume and temperature. P(T,v). However, the answer I want is the density. I can solve it using a solve block, but would like to be able to express the solution as funtion. I.e; rho(T,P) = answer, where I just need to input the Temperature and Pressure. But as seen, the pressure is a function of the density.I have attached the MathCad 15 sheet that has the function, but I'm unsure if I will need to use the mathcad programming to get an answer back in the way I would like. I don't know if there is a way to set up the solve block or solution such that I can have the expression be as above.

Hello everyone,i am student who use Mathcad 15.0 and i am wondering to update on version Prime 3.0. I would like to ask: - is possible to update on full version after school and if will i can to open my school project in full version? - is possible to print projects from student version?Thank you

To all,I am sure I saw something about how to do such thing but I cannot find it so needs some pointersI have a function (see attached mcad sheet) Wm(t,am,bm,cm,dm) where t is time and am,bm,cm,dm are coefficient valid for equation mI need to do sum of Wm from m =0 to n: but I am struggling with indices in mcadCoudl anyone refreshe my memory on this summation? It might be something with "dicretizing" the time 't' if I recallThanksRegardsJXB
