Shear and Moment diagram in Mathcad Prime 3.0

I need help to plot the shear and moment diagram of the one of the videos I have tried to use examples but it is big no go for me. Just so you know I am not coming at this completely blind. I have tried these examples :


Load Shear Moment Diagram with Mathcad.avi - YouTube



shear and force diagram in mathcad pt 1 .mov - YouTube



I think they are using some different Mathcad that I can't use in own version of Mathcad. If I could figure out how to set up the function to graph and then the plot. I think if I try simpler ones then maybe I can move on to more complex ones that I am currently working on.


thank you in advance for any help.

    Hello Robert,

    At first sight it uses MathCad 15.

    Kind regards.

    I can't look at your videos, but shear and moment are not difficult.

    Attached is Prime 3.0

      That worked perfectly. Thank you. However, I am not sure of the one side open squares you have below R 0 and R 1.   This isn't my homework problem. I have much more difficult homework problem.

      Calculating the shear, moment and a number of other items is not that hard.

      I have attached a similar example done using a finite element model that I sometimes use (Mathcad14).
