Hi there ,

How can I work in Mathcad faster. it freezes when I use large data

I have to use loop functions , however , it took so much time and doesn't calculate I have to close it and open it again and still doesn’t work

Thanks,

Yusra

Hi Yusra,

Have found the source of the large file size. The data set that is being worked on should not be a problem for Prime.

There is a number of instances of a variable name and a function with the same name, not a good practice. f2, M, Re. It is the calculation of Re that is causing the large file size. In the files attached I have disabled the regions that calculate Re, f1, and f2.

Then Re is calculated but returns a result I am sure is not correct.

Vectors of 1478, 1752, 1622 and 1718 long with each element containing itself a vector of 2252 in length

I am sure this is not intended. Work on recalculating Re.
