Mathcad

Hi communityI don't know how to use prime to find solutions to a robotic problem this problem is based on matrix calculus for a serial type robot it is easy to determine the direct geometry, i.e. to express the generalized coordinates according to the joint coordinates The difficulty is to solve the inverse geometry, that is to say determine the coordinates of the joints according to the generalized coordinates usually this uses Paul's iterative method I don't know how to solve these equations with Mathcad see the attached sheet

I have a license for Prime 3.0 and am re-installing on a new PC after a few years away from Mathcad and require a download link - is there one available? Thank you.

I have on average 30 to 40 large Mathcad Prime 8 worksheets that must sequentially open, calculate using input numbers from an ASCII text file, output an ASCII text file for input by the next worksheet, then save and close before the next worksheet is opened.  This is very labor intensive and I need to automate the process with a Visual Basic program.  It is critical that each worksheet recalculate while it is open, to deliver correct and updated results to the next worksheet.  I can get the attached example VB program to start Mathcad and open a single file, but I have not been successful in adding lines of VB code, that recalculate that worksheet after it is opened, and then save & close that worksheet with the changes, before opening the next worksheet - and doing it all again.  Help!  Obviously, I am not a programmer!

HelloI have an activated PTC Mathcad Express on my new computer and I need to convert Mathcad 14 Worksheets.The converter give me a "no license" error.Kind regardsReto

Is it possible to locate a reference file in the right margin of the document?  The intent is to utilize the reference information in calculations but not show as part of the printed document.  An alternative seems to be including the reference file in a collapsed area; however, that results in a solid line across the page when printed.  If this is the best option to include but hide a reference file, is it possible to disable printing of this region?  Again, I'm not wanting this line visible when printing formal presentation documents.  In Mathcad 15, I could turn of the time line, date, etc. and then highlight the region with a light color that wasn't visible on the printed document. Thanks,

Does anyone know why I get an error message when I convert from MathCad 15 to Mathcad 8 prime or does anyone know what this printout does in general?   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Weis jemand wieso ich beim konvertieren von MathCad 15 auf Mathcad 8 prime bei diesem Ausdruck eine Fehlermeldung bekomme bzw. weiß jemand was dieser ausdruckt allgemein macht.

Hello, EDIT:I understand that in the first case I take for i a column matrix:   And in the second case I take: How to loop the n column matrix in t?  

Stupid question...I'm just getting back into MathCAD (Prime 7.0) after several years absence...I'm trying to see if create a simple routine that will automatically strip the units from a variable and display only the numeric portion...so I can turn it into a string and use it in text functions. Essentially what I have right now...The routine divides out the SIUnitsOf(variable) and multiplies that by a conversion factor that it sequentially looks up in a matrix.And it divides the variable by the conversion factor's base unit (from the same matrix).When I type out the procedure for an individual case, it gives the expected answer.When I try to put that procedure into a "for" loop, it gives me an unexpected "These units are not compatible" error....can anyone see what am I doing wrong?

Hi All, I have been given the task of trying to make this MathCAD program work in Prime. It works perfectly well in MC15 but throws up unit errors in Prime.  I was guessing that it had something to do with the unit which is Newtons, which I added in, but it still doesn't work. Any advise on where this is going wrong?

Hi Bill, Reference topic  - https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/Beam-bending-using-finite-differences/m-p/884208#M207256I was just wondering why I tend to get failures if I run this multiple times within the same MathCAD sheet (i.e. cut and paste it several times). Usually I can get away with running two different runs (usually x and y) but if I'm looking at multiple items, despite clearing what I think are the important variables, it always throws up an odd error? Do you know if there is a reason this would happen and good places to trouble shoot when it does?

See image below. I tried giving K_t units of "inches" but that doesn't work. 

I am trying to run the code but at this sectionI get this error. Why?

I've searched as best as I can to find any reference concerning controlling the units as they are passed from an embedded Mathcad Prime 9 file to Creo (9.0.4.0). I'm aware of the "locked-down" default unit system sets available to us in Prime - please PTC fix this and add the functionality like we had in v15 to establish our own default unit set!!! The issue stems from our Creo part model having units set to "mm", and Prime insisting, of course, to only pass results back to Creo in "m" (or in "cm" or "in" if selected as the default). Is there any "trick" to force Mathcad Prime to pass result units back to Creo in "mm"? BTW, I know we can strip the units and simply send back a numeric value by dividing the result in Prime by "mm". The challenge there is if somebody wants to switch unit systems in Creo, the process will return incorrect values from Mathcad.In the meantime, I'll post an enhancement request in that section of the Mathcad forum to add custom default unit systems. Thank

Hello, On page 7 of the attached sheet, there is a solver that existed in the sheet i created in mathcad 15. When i converted it to Prime 9, it removed the syntax "Given" and it aslo  states undefined variables. I dont know how to fix it. Thanks,Sam  

I always wonder why, after a walk in the park, some of my shoes remain clean, while others are always smeared with dirt. I videotaped my walk and realized that the reason was a large welt of brown boots. Drops of water flying up can get on the shoes only if they have a certain trajectory, which depends on the initial conditions (Cauchy problem). Now I am trying to create a mathematical model (ODEs) of this process in Mathcad. Who can help me? May be this problem was solved! 

Forgive me, I am new to Mathcad.  I have created a simple equation in Matchcad and it appears to be giving me the incorrect answer. When calculating the same on my calculator or in a relation in Creo I get the answer: 32.2275... Does anyone know why this is the case? 

Hello,  

Help please. Give me please PRIME 6 or picture!

I have some VBS and Python scripting files that allow me to generate Mathcad 15 files using the XML data that Mathcad 15 is built on.In Prime, it looks like the XML formatting is no longer supported, so I was wondering if there is any way to automate the Mathcad Prime converter tool to automatically convert the 15 files to Prime.Is there an API for the converter tool, or is there any way to run VBS scripts to interface with the converter tool? I was envisioning generating the Mathcad 15 files the way I normally do, then append a conversion step to my scripting files by pointing the converter tool to the automatically generated 15 files.

In the solve block there is an issue with my vectorized values where even if they are vectorized the solve block will still ask them to be in vector form.Also, for some odd reason I believe my if statement asks for a scalar result even though I am following my professors' steps in which his if statement works.Attached you will find the worksheet in question. Thank you.

Dear Masters,I would like to simplify the equation by repeating the program of the vibration analysis no repetition below using for statements, etc.The process I'm trying to do is vibration analysis repeatI want to draw the simplified graphs together on one graph, but it is not easy.Finally, I want to draw a final graph superimposed by adding five eigenfunctions. I need the help of masters.My version is Prime 6.0.

Hi! Kindly please convert the file to mcdx. Reference topic link Much Thanks...     applegen

Good day. I was wondering if anyone can introduce a good tutorial and help me on how I can compile the global stiffness of this example problem in mathcad prime. I am currently studying FEA Method and still do not know how to properly mesh 2d into a single matrix. I hope anyone can help me program it. Thank you.

Dear allI got stuck in print report. because there are many variables in my symbolic equation so it cant be fit to my paper A4. for exampleif I assign : then Shear_Part(T)=..........is it possible? or do you have any method?*File attached
