Question

AI models working with Mathcad

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0

How can we work with AI models to generate Mathcad worksheets?
Is there a way to generate calculations with an AI LLM so it writes them in Mathcad format?
Is there an MCP to connect Mathcad to AI models?

Hi,

Try the following in ChatGPT.

 

Ask the question at the prompt

"mathcad prime worksheet to add a=5 and b=6 into variable c"

ChatGPT will come back with text so ask this

"create the prime zipped xml file for this"

ChatGPT will create one with

Your Mathcad Prime worksheet file is ready:

?? Download the Mathcad Prime file (.mcdx)

If Prime reports anything about structure, I can generate a fully compliant Prime 9/10 format version with all required metadata files included.

Ask ChatGPT for a fully compliant file

"yes please"

ChatGPT will create one with

Here is the more complete Mathcad Prime 9/10 compatible worksheet:

?? Download the complete Mathcad Prime file (.mcdx)

 

Looks great but neither of the files will work so it has a long way to go before being useful.

 

Cheers

Terry

    Assuming that creating the full Prime worksheet .mcdx format may be a bridge too far yet, I considered creating the file in Mathcad 15 format, after which it could/should be converted to Prime using the built-in converter. So  I tried the same, but creating a Mathcad 15 file and after some extra prompts it finally creates an xml file that chatgpt claims is fully compliant.

    </ml:eval>
    </math>
    </region>

    </regions>

    </worksheet>

     

    Seems reasonable so I wonder if someone with Mathcad 15 can open it, or with Prime can convert it.

     

    Success!
