Hello guys,

I'm a newbie and I want to ask how to read these mcdx files with MathCad.

I can't get them open in MathCad..

Any idea?

Just uploaded a screenshot of the sheet you asked for in the other thread

mcdx is the format of Mathcad Prime.

There is no way I am aware of to convert such files so they could be opened with real Mathcad (Mathcad up to version 15).

Only way is to download a copy of Prime (it works as a full trial for a month and then falls back to a limited "Express" mode, which is still able to open all Prime files and show the calculation results) to open the mcdx file and retype the sheet in real Mathcad

I fear that it will not help you with the problem you posted here https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad/Multiple-ODE-s-in-MathCad/td-p/785905/jump-to/first-unread-message

I guess that Matlab has more and more powerful functions/algorithms.

With Mathcad it was always difficult to solve boundary problems where the ICs referred to different positions (in your case 0, s1 and L)
Mathcad provides functions like sbval and bvalfit to calculate(guess) the missing inital values, but I lack any experience in using those functions.
