Hi, I have one question I hope you guys can help me with. I am struggling to get the designations (unit) correct. When I decompose forces I get F (Farad) instead of kg. Please see attached photo to illustrate the problem. I use MathCAD 15 and Windows 8 (if this is relevant). I hope someone can help me, and, in advance, thank you. Best RegardsKjartan
Hello everyoneI did a worksheet in Mathcad and i am looking for a wayy to export the worksheet to a html format like, i think i saw before some worksheets that can be opened in explorer, mozilla, etc. im not totally sure though, what i want to do i use it for a presentation in a classroom in a computer that doesnt have Mathcad.Thanks in advanceAlex
I want to be able to read a known number of multiple input values from one excel sheet and populate the corresponding multiple outputs in another worksheet Those outputs will be a mix of values and text. To do this I assume I need a programming loop. I have a complex worksheet but can someone show me how to do with this in principal with this simple example ?G
Hi!You guys have been such a help for me, and tommerow is my final exam. Yay!Though, I still have one problem.. I really can't figure out how to make a repeating periodic function.An example would be the uploaded file, where I'm trying to make a function look like this.Though I can make the function from -2 -> 2, I cannot figure out how to make it repeatable, like the picture.I really do appericiate any help I can get!Best regardsBen
Please see attached. I can display each ANS(h) for all the vairables answered in the simultaneous equation as shown. However, would like to graph each of the vairables (for example F1Dx) versus (h). Thanks!Steve T.
Good Morning MathCAD Group,Would anybody be kind to help me with the attached files. In the first file, I have pasted the table I'm trying to interpolate and MathCAD interpolation code that I have written, that I think is not working. I have in the table three different values that need to be interpolated before arriving at the correct answer.My second file is trying to program the stiffness of a pile group with a battered pile at different angles.Would anybody please help. Thank you.Regards,Boyer
The MathCAD community may find the attached article interesting. In a largely academic setting we sometime lose sight of the fact that mathematical errors have real world consequences. The Wanapum Dam is rated at 1040 megawatts, construction started in 1959 and operations stared in 1963.
I have this complicated function S(x,y,z) which also reads from previously defined functions. The plot capabilities of mathcas is nowhere near publication quality. I wanted to somehow transfer this plot to another software that has acceptable plotting abilities (e.g. Excel) but I can't find any way to do that. can someone please help me?
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.

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.
