I'm running into major problems with Mathcad Prime not wanting to solve my equations. They work in the old versions but not in this one. The find wasn't working and now it's saying my Velocities arn't defined. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Changing the labels did not work for me. But deleting the three guess values and retyping them will let the error vanish. Try it yourself - type V_3x= right after the definition of the guess und you get the error of the variable not known. This happens even if they are labeled the same.
But the solutions now are just the guess values, so obviously there is still something wrong.
I think a got the main probem - it was not the labelling: It looks like the guess values and equations were typed outside the solve block and then dragged inside. So they look like they are in the solve block template but for Prime they aren't. Prime does not "see" these definitions. Thats the reason is seemed to work when I retyped the guess values.
Copy and paste should work (there was an error in the first release of Prime2 with copied expressions in a solve block) but moving it does not.
You may try it yourself: if you are able to drag/move a region outside of the solve block template, then there is something wrong.
Addiotionally the multiplication signs after pi were missing in the first equation.
In the attached all should be corrected, nevertheless Prime finds no solution which could be because, as Alan pointed out, there seems to be something wrong with the equations as the supposed solutions don't fit.
EDIT: If you change L_2h in the third equation to L_3, you get the expected results.
Ok I did what you tried and also changed one more thing. But now I got 2 more problems after going a bit more in depth into the problem I'm already working on.
1) for part 1.2) Vxb is supposed to be positive not negative and can't see where I'm going wrong.
2) for part 1.3) Vx3, Vxb, Vxr are supposed to be 9.967, 4.808, 10.981. It got the solutions in MathCad 15 but not in Prime and once again I can't see my problem.
