Hello all, very new to mathcad, running express prime 3.0 on a trial.I would like to find the intersection of some curves that are already on a plot. I don't have the functions of the curves or lines (lines would be straightforward to find). I've read previous posts that use the solver block method, however as I do not have the equations for the curves, I believe that this is not possible (could be wrong.)How can I find the point of intersection for this given plot?

We all know the benefits of units in Mathcad, and the Mars Climate Orbiter and the Gimli Glider have been cited numerous times on the forums as examples of why units matter. Here's a couple of lesser known ones though:The Vasa warship:In 1628, crowds in Sweden watched in horror as a new warship, Vasa, sank less than a mile into her maiden voyage, with the death of 30 people on board. Armed with 64 bronze cannons, it was considered by some to be the most powerful warship in the world. Experts who have studied it since it was raised in 1961 say it is asymmetrical, being thicker on the port side than the starboard side. One reason for this could be that the workmen were using different systems of measurement. Archaeologists have found four rulers used by the workmen who built the ship. Two were calibrated in Swedish feet, which had 12 inches, while the other two measured Amsterdam feet, which had 11 inches. Stonehenge model:In the 1984 mockumentary This is Spinal Tap, the members of a fic
Hi,I have trouble with mathcad 14 because it doesn't solve a Matrix. I want to work with a 10x45 matrix and mathcad do nothing. When I try to traspose the 10x45 matrix, mathcad just show "=" and two little black boxes. However when I create, for example, a 5x4 matrix, in that case mathcad does solve it.Maybe some of you have had the same porblem and could help me. Thanks
You can find the answer on this question (paradox) in one Mathcad Discussion about units

Hi im new in Mathcad prime 3, I just want to know or is there already a trend on how to input mixed numbers in mathcad prime 3? i tried commands from mathcad 15 ctrl_shift_+ but it does'nt work... thanks
Please help with decision!!!
We need to do an optical model that creates an exponential or linear taper based on cross sectional diameter over length. I was hoping that this would help with this, but I haven’t spent much time on it yet.
I am having difficulties with case 1a - 1d in table 24. Things start to fall apart when I enter dimensions for a circular plate that has radii smaller than 1 inch. The deflection at the inner and outer radius can't be calculated.Am I doing something wrong? Is this a limitation based on the assumptions? i have attached screenshots for your reference.
Hello,in the attached sheet, please scroll down to the red arrow. When i used the Find function, i can find the root, but when i try to do it with the "root" function i get an error. if i change the guess value to .0001, i will get an answer. But this answer is incorrect because the correct answer is what you get with the Find function which is .0021273. The reason why i am using the root function so i can assign the answer to a variable. I tried to assign the Find function value to a variable, it does not let me unless i dont know how to do it. Is there a better and accurate way to do this w/o worrying about convergence? Thanks!
Hi,I have a problem to find max or min value of a matrix (array).matrix_A10.543min(A)=0.5 and return the position A 1,0max(A)=4 and A 2,0thank you!
I'm posting this in the hope that someone at PTC will read it. This is the current list of discussions under "Mathcad":Look at the number of views. "Mathcad 15 compatibility with Windows 8" is closing on 20,000 views. I don't see any discussion about "Mathcad Prime compatibility with Windows 8". I hope that tells you something. Further down, "Where is all the legacy Mathcad stuff (Electronic Books, Add-ons for Mathcad 8, 2000, 2001, 2001i)?" has more than 8000 views. I do believe there is another message there. No other discussions come close to the number of views these two have.
PV: present valueFV: future valueI am earning 300000 per year with a discount rate of 5%. Formula: PV=FV*(1+r)^-nWhat will me present value be after 6 years.My problem is when im plugging numbers in, it takes a lot of times when plugging all the numbers in.Is there any way to make some kind of shortcut??This is how i am doing it right now.
Dear allI am trying to solve a hydraulics problem where Tunnel section changes at fixed location.While writing solve block for getting the water depth at particular location, I am getting error.I guess, writing sove block as a function will help, but I am unable to figure it out.Please have a look on the files.I am unsing mathcad 14.I have also attached same file as version 11.thanks in advanceaprasun
Hello All,I am facing an issue in solving the Biarc Interpolation Algorithm in mathcad. Please find the attached mathcad sheet and help me solving the issue. I am not able to figure out that why it is not giving the expected result.Thanks a lot in advance.

I have been testing Prime 3 in the hope Prime will become usable. When I launch the program I get the following error message:"The program can't start because ppp.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"I have reinstalled Prime 3 and still get the error message. Prime 3 does run after I click OK on the error message. MathCAD help has not been able to assist with the resolution of the error. Has anyone else seen this message.?Regards,
I'm doing Microeconomics. Sometimes i need to solve with delta, but when im trying to solve with delta on PTC, it doesn't work.Im sure, im setting the calculation up right, but i just don't know how to use the deltas right. My classmate that uses a program called wolframe alpha, and it works when she's setting it up the same way on that program. I'll stay updated here, so if you got any further questions, ill do my best to answer you guys It's about profit maximizing and setting marginal revenue equal to marginal cost.
TL;DR This button exports a simple ordered list of the variables as they are defined and a unique hash of the calculation. Use it to compare versions.Mathcad Compare Worksheets UtilityThe Mathcad compare worksheets tool has its limitations, especially for large sheets where a small insertion near the front shows everything as 'moved'.This makes the comparison tool ineffective. One needs to see which maths regions have actually changed, rather than cosmetic movements.When a large workshhet is being developed of a multi-option project, many variants of the worksheets are created. It can be difficult to track (in retrospect) what happened, especially if some intermediate 'not quite finished' variant is discovered to have value. This sheet offers some help.This worksheet provides a component (button) that will export all the maths regions, in calculation order, both to an internal Mathcad matrix, and to an external text file.Importantly, you can select which information is important to you
Some 50-years ago, I was designing Radio receiver using the Slide Rule, the ONLY available tool at that time. This matter took from me several days to solve only a few equations. To day using Mathcad Prime 2.0 helps tremendously to make calculations far more easier with a solving time of only a few micro-seconds! using the Solve Block.This worksheet shows the design of the Signal-Oscillator Tracking Circuit only of old Radio backdated to the 1940th of the last century.
hello all,i want a help from u all.I want to give a relation to a parameter which converts a value to the next higher integer value.e.g i want to change a value of 132.5568 to next higher value of 135 by relation or any other logical function.Please help me,Regards,kashyap
