Using Minimize in a program

Hi everyone,

I would like to be able to use the Minimize built-in function in a program. 

I am obviously making something wrong (see attached example).

I understand that (even if one does not need to write it explicitly) there is a "solve block" involved.

Is it possible to use a solve block in a program?

thanks a lot for any hints.

Best regards

Claudio

 

PS: I do not succeed to attach the file, it says "the content of the attachment doesn't match its file type"

it is a normal xmcd file 😞 !! please help!Minimize.JPG

(Not being able to) attach files is known problem in the current forum sofware.

To attach, first put your mathcad file in an archive, e.g. in windows explorer, with your mouse over the file and  pressing the right mouse button choose "send to"=> "Compressed (zipped) folder" from the pop-up menu.

You should be able to attach the resulting .ZIP file.

 

You cannot use a solve-block inside a program, but you can assign the result of a solve block to a function.

    You can create a function that calls Minimize, then use that function in a program.

     

    See attached.
