Mathcad

HI i dont know who i cant convert the file from xmcd to mcdx. can some kind soul help me to convert it ?

how can we convert xmcd files if converter is not working, is this a bug any workarounds?

Hello,  Moving to Mathcad Prime 9 from V15, and noticed there are no rules or guidelines to align the different regions of the document. Any suggestions/tips/tricks to align the regions other by eyeballing them?

Snapping to the grid is not a good alternative to being able to align a group of regions.  It was very easy in Mathcad 15.  

I am trying Prrime for the first time today. How do you align regions vertically? I know how to do it in M15, but I can not figure out how to do it in Prime. I also can not find in the help guide.Thanks Andrew

Hi, I recently changed the motherboard on my PC, and my Mathcad15 licence is no longer valid. Impossible to tranfer it to a new host ID, PTC does not recognise it. I have Mathcad prime 3.1 licence, working well, but the converter from .xmcd to mcdx does work without Mathcad 15 operating. I need only 6 files to be converted.My question is if anybody having Mathcad 15 and Mathcad prime 3.1 installed could kindly do this conversion for me.I join a ZIP with the filesNote that Prime 3.1 version is required, More recent versions might deliver .mcdx files not readable with 3.1 version. I’ve read that somewhere on this siteThanks in advance 

Trying to solve a large linear algebra Ax=b problem using Prime.The x:=lsolve(A,b) says not enough memory, but I can solve the same size using other software on my large 128GB of RAM.Prime 11 reports in task manager as only 217 MB.How do I give Prime access to more memory if possible?Cheers 

Can somebody share a sample 3d file with MathJax output for MathML equations in ALD v12?

Sir Isaac Newton   This month’s challenge is inspired by one of the great unsolvable challenges of physics, the Three Body Problem.  Of course, we won’t be asking you to perform the impossible in Mathcad Prime. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is the Two Body Problem for orbital mechanics. Earth-satellite two body problem   Challenge 1: Create the math functions and programs that can calculate the position, velocity, and acceleration of a Mazda Miata-sized satellite in orbit around the earth. (Why a Mazda Miata? It was my first and only car. Feel free to substitute a car of your choice.) Choose your orbital parameters for altitude (e.g., medium-earth, geosynchronous, high-earth), inclination, eccentricity, and any other factors.   Challenge 2 (optional): Incorporate advanced input controls to change the orbital parameters.   Challenge 3: Graph the x-, y-, and z-values for acceleration versus time. Create additional graphs for velocity and positio

https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad-Ideas/Split-screen/idi-p/656081   The above link leads to a Mathcad Idea that suggests having split-screen working.  This is something that I've wanted to see in Mathcad for some time (over 13 years, in fact), the lack of which is proving a real nuisance at the moment.  Could some kind, support-paying souls please offer their support for this idea?  Thanks,   Stuart   https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad/New-Feature-requests/m-p/356451#M139515   (I've got a much bigger list, in case anyone's not interested ...)

Hi  I have issues trying to plot the Moment and Shear Force diagram of the following case. Any help is highly appreciated! 🙂  

Up through Mathcad 15 it was possible to make a nice-looking parallel operator using the infix notation. It would be very helpful to make it work in Prime. 

I purchased and installed Mathcad Prime 12. However, I now understand that, because I am using a Dutch Windows 11 OS, Mathcad does not start. First of all, I find it unbelievable that PTC does not mention this very clearly beforehand, but that you are only confronted with this after purchasing. What really makes matters worse is that, although you start from and with the English website, you are redirected during the installation process to a Korean website, which is unreadable. So now I am stuck with a Mathcad version that I paid for and for which the 1-year period has already started, but which I cannot use. I would like this situation to be resolved ASAP.

Many of my Mathcad worksheets are large (50+ pages).  As the worksheets get larger, the screen refresh rate becomes so slow when using the drag slider bar that scrolling through the worksheet becomes very difficult.   This has always been key source of frustration when using Mathcad for large models. I had been working on a large worksheet for a bit after upgrading to Mathcad 12 when I realized that the scrolling was as responsive as any Microsoft Word document – very smooth with no noticeable lag up to any reasonable scroll rate!  That was not one of the explicitly stated new features in Mathcad 12 – so I didn’t notice it immediately (sometimes you don’t notice the things that just work the way you’d expect them to work).  I really appreciate some of the other enhancements in the Prime 12 release like Find/Replace with subscripted variables (another large worksheet issue) and the enhancements for native plots, but the scrolling improvement ranks near the top! 

Please help me what am i doing wrong?Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0

Hi,I am using root function to solve a function for different variables (variables are vectors) but some of these values don’t converge as there is no solution. How can I skip these values that don’t converge and make a table for those values and solve the rest? I have attached the MathCAD zip file.  Thank you!!!

Hello,I have tried to upload the mathcad file, but it does not allow me. The following was working in mathcad 15, but it does not evaluate in prime Thanks,Sam

Hello!A new year and a new crash unfortunately.I was working with this document and saved it. The next day when opening it i just get "The file type is not supported".Can it be recovered? Would help alot 🙂I attached the failing document and a log fileKind regards, TomPrime;7.0;FileNotSupported;Crash;MathcadPrime

Hi there, I'm receiving the error "file type not supported" when trying to open an old mathcad file. I've attached the file, could you please assist. 

I am currently running the trial version of Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0 (I think only a few days left) to evaluate its capabilities for solving multiple equations with multiple unknowns. I want to verify that it will produce the results that I need before purchasing the software.  I have run into a problem getting Mathcad to solve the system equations symbolically. I have looked around the internet for community information on this aspect of Mathcad but have not found anything that addresses my specific topic. The problem to which is seek a solution arises when modeling the impact between two bodies. Using the impulse-momentum formulation of Newton's 2nd law gives me 6 equations and six unknowns with a point mass (no rotational inertia) impacting a point mass. I put this system into Mathcad and used the solve feature and it produced the desired result. My file is attached. You will see that I took the solution equations Mathcad produced and ported them over to calculate the numeri

Mathcad Prime 10 A few years ago, I found this great Mathcad wrapper (GitHub - usnistgov/REFPROP-wrappers: Wrappers around NIST REFPROP for languages such as Python, MATLAB, etc.) for NIST REFPROP 10 where I can call properties using a script.  This has been a game changer for me.  The issue is that not all fluids that I need are available to me, (DMAc or MMA for example) in REFPROP.Does anyone know of a DIPPR/Diadem Mathcad wrapper out there that works well? Thanks

Hi, I have been trying to get this non-linear gear dynamics system of ODE's to solve but for the life of me cannot seem to correct the errors.The attached sheet has several attempts at the end to write the equations and initial conditions in different formats but all give "too few initial conditions" or a"floating point error". Like most programming errors its probably glaringly simple!Any assistance would be appreciated.Regards,Ross 

New to PTC community but long time user of mathcad. I need to get the Roarks formula's for stress and strain ebook but as best I can tell from the forums it is no longer provided with mathcad AND it's not available on the forums for download (or on the web as best I can tell).  Is this correct? TIA

 I want an algorithm that generates the function [a,b,c}=unique(Y) although there are forums what I need is for it to be only with structural control sequences if else for while etc but not advanced functions of either Matlab or from mathcad since when you want to replicate the function elsewhere it is complicated, it would be appreciated if you have a way to do it  What would the mathcad programming of this algorithm be like as it is in the image so it is easier to carry out the function? 

Hi there!I 'm trying to master the slider advanced control option to see how my goal function will be changed. On the PTC  support page, I have found only the 2-axis plot sample:https://support.ptc.com/help/mathcad/r10.0/en/index.html#page/PTC_Mathcad_Help/example_slider.html#wwID0EIKIPB  It looks like the upgraded version of Prime 10.0.0 probably has some bugs, or it is impossible to obtain such an option.I've attached the function sample  (Prime 10.0.0), which I'd like to observe using the advanced control button (slider).Any advice or assistance will be appreciated.
