Mathcad prime 9.0 crashes at execution

I wrote a small program to simulate astro dynamics.

The program crashes (program terminate and disappear from screen) when I increase the number of iterations and celestial bodies.

No error message!

 

Can someone help? I can share my program.

 

Thanks

Here is the program attached. Make sure you disable auto calculation before opening the file.

There three variables highlighted in red with comments indicating the values you can try. there is more frequent crashes with high values for the Iteration variable.

Then, share the worksheet, and let's see.

There is two algo for computing a trajectory

PEFRL and LeapFrog (Highlighted in RED)

If I increase Iteration from 300 to 3000 (Highlighted in RED) the program is likely to crash.

If I remove (delete) one or the other of the algo the program does not crash.

I’m running windows 10 and I have a RTX 2080 graphic card in my computer.

Thanks for looking at this issue.

You need to go here: 

https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/Mathcad-prime-9-0-crashes-at-execution/td-p/920562 

And attach your worksheet file.

 

Success!
