Hi

I'm newbie in Mathcad, I try to resolve a geometrical problem (vector analisys).

I have a paper with mathcad 15 expression which solve my problem.

But, I don't achieve to rewrite it in Prime, i don't find character and function

Do you have an idea ?

See it in Mathcad 15 :

If you have the sheet in 15, and you have Prime and 15 on your computer, you may convert the sheet to Prime:

Open Prime, at the top the second tab is input/output  Select the converter

You'll get a dialog box steer to your Mathcad 15 file, and convert it.  A file of the same name appears beside the old file that can be opened in Prime.

What is the function 'normal_unit_vec' supposed to do?

How are P1 through P3 defined?

Do you realize that the default array and matrix indexing starts at 0 (rather than 1)?

 

Please attach your Mathcad15 sheet, as well as your attempt in Prime.

You may have to zip it/them first. A serious bug in this forum often prevents from attaching a mathcad file. In Windows Explorer click with the right-mouse button on the mathcad file and select 'Send to' -> 'Compressed (zipped) folder'. The resulting .zip file can be attached.

 

Success!

To create a literal subscript in Prime, the key combination is "cntrl -" 

 

To create an index subscript, "[" (by itself.)
