But you can use Mathcad Prime Express version to read ".mcdx" file format: Free Math Software Download | PTC

This doesn't explain why my solve block wouldn't work but the answer comes out. Thanks Alan.

I don't know why your solve block won't work, but for this problem anyway you don't need a solve block.

Immediately after figure 3 and the text "Bolt group geometry" you have the keyword "given". Delete it. Mathcad does not like having two "given" keywords with nothing to close out the solve block for the first one. Once you have done that, right click in "Find" and force it to a non-linear method. It is trying to solve it as a linear equation (which in fact it is), but can't.

    Good catch, Richard . By the way in Prime this error is not perceived, as in this case is used block of solution.
