I need to do some nested if statements for conditional programming and I cannot figure out for the life of me how to nest if-statements using the programming toolbar. I am in Matcad 14 and the "add line" button just adds if-else if statements, I need to nest. All the "add line" option does is just add another line on the same logic level. Is there a difference between if and conditional if?I posted a flowchart of the basic program logic. (Ignore the red lines, that is just my spell checker)

After calculating a long series of values in MathCAD, it would be convient to summarize the results in a table as shown below: Axial Max Shear MaxCase ICase IIetc.How do you generate a summary table of the calculated values? The finished product should look like a table generated in Excel.

Hi,is it possible to do a regression as simple as in a graphing calculator?There I have got a statistic menu where i can write down my x and y values. Then I hit the [Reg]ression button and the [sin]us button. Done.I tried to solve my problem in MathCad with 2 vectors and the sinfit function, but it does not work 😕There is the same problem with an exponential function...There I used expfit, where it said the "guessing"-vector is optional, so I left it out. -> No solution...Can u help me??Thank You.

Please, help. The question is stated inside the file.Thanks in advance,Eric

Following the upgrade to WF5 (from WF4 and previous), I notice in the drawing environment that you can only edit view attributes in the GUI when working under the 'layout' tab, annotations under the 'annotations' tab, tables etc. and so on.This is quite irritating as the older releases let you edit all entities regardless!Is there anyway to overwrite this feature and make the environment behave as it did?ThanksPhilThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Working with logarithms. I was wondering why the symbolic engine will not "expand" out the variables? Am I doing something wrong?Also, I would like to work symbolically upfront. In the attached, I want to expand/combine/simplify in terms of log symbolically. I then want to set that result to a variable, L. This way I can "prove the math" before applying values to the variables. Problem that I have is that as soon as I assign "L" to the symbolics, it wants a value. If I modify, the symbolics, I have to "cut & paste" into a variable definition.Hope the attached makes senseThis is in MathCAD 14 M030.Is this fixed in version 15?

I've a macro that writes the date and drawing name to a text file, and I want to make a list of drawings with just a specific date.I'm trying to use the batch command to get values from the text file but can't make it work.Has anyone used this along with the "find" function to find a specific string within a line of a text file?I've tried it a few ways so far and it either gives me an unknown macro command error, or it crashes Isodraw altogether - I obviously don't understand the syntax of the function or how to extract what it returns.Do you make a variable of the character position that "find" gets?Example text file (it's actually got more in than just the date and the drawing name) is:10-03-2011,11:57,Tim Sharp,export cgm THA1003-291.cgm10-03-2011,12:01,Tim Sharp,export cgm THA1003-297.cgm11-03-2011,12:11,Tim Sharp,export cgm NPA79-170a.cgm11-03-2011,12:12,Tim Sharp,export cgm NPA79-179.cgmI want to find lines that have the current date (11-03-2011), then extract the drawing names (

I have an oval with a circle cut out of the middle. I want to sweep a cross section along the inner circle and the outer edge of the oval to create an angled surface. I was thinking you could just use a rib, and you may very well be able to I just haven't been able to figure it out. My second thought was to create a variable section sweep with two trajectories. That didn't work. I attached pictures to help explain what I want to do. The first image shows the part and surface I want to sweep along. The bottom image shows the sesction I want to sweep along the inner circle and outer edge of oval. This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi,I am running out of hard drive space and i wanted to know what is the best way of deleting old versions of parts or assemblies? (for example it saves prt.2 and prt.3 and the latest is prt.4, so i only need the latest)thanks,Itzik

Hi MC folks,I've got this data in which I'd like to find all roots by using the Match function. Problem is that only an incomplete subset of the roots is identified - see attached sheet.Does anybody has a clue why this happens?CheersRaikoP.S. The attached sheet is in MC12 but the original has been made by MC15!

I am trying to solve a system of equations in the attached worksheet and having great difficulty. I am using the xd(, , ,) function to create a vector which is then passed to two definite integrals in order to find the area and centriod under a section of graph (not included).The problem is that I have had to set the upper value of the xd function manually, I want to do it automatically.The problem is a little clearer in the worksheet.Mike

Hi allRecently upgraded from Mathcad version 11 to 15/Prime.I am a heavy user of the symbolic tools and I am encountering numerous cases where symbolic integration results which were quickly evaluated in Mathcad v11 ( & 2000) are now hanging in v15.Please refer to the typical integral in the Mathcad15 attached file.All references within the integral ie theta, R b etc are constants set individually - the only integration variable is phi.Any thoughts, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.ThanksMike

Hi all, i have a simple relation d8=p1*p2, where p1=206 & p2=1.0065 making d8=207.339ok, here is my problem, i want this value to be exactly 207.3400, but rounded to 2 decimal places, so 207.34, now i know about floor & ceil, if i write the realtion with floor (,2), then i get 207.33 (exactly) & if i write the relation with ceil (,2), then i get 207.34 (exactly). So what is the problem you ask, i have the required value of 207.34, but the next time d8 might equal 169.229, floored would give 169.22, but i would require 169.23. Once the relation is written, it is written, i don't want to get into a situation where i have to keep swapping between floor & ceil to achieve a correct rounding up or down. I will give a couple more examples of what i want to achieve, in the hope that somebody understands my requirements.actual value 223.234, required value 223.2300, but rounded to 2 places, so 223.23actual value 125.987, required value 125.9900, but rounded to 2 places, so 125.9

Hi again!I'm trying to design an automatic lid with a lifting arm attached to it. The picture will probably make it self explanatory. I want to add a strut to constrain the lifting arm so that it stays horizontal. I'm not sure how to constrain the strut though. I have tried two pin connections but it doesn't move when I drag the lid. It just locks up. I have also tried a single pin connection and then a standard Axis->Axis contraint on the second pin but I get the same problem. Could someone shine any light on which constraints I need to use to get that working as intended. Hope I have explained it clear enough, let me know if I haven't and I'll to animate what I want.

So I'm trying to get MC to find the time-response of a MDOF dynamic system (vibrations problem). I start by defining the transfer function in s-domain and then ask MC to find the inverse Laplace - it doesn't quite do it (see attached).Interestingly, a friend reports that he DOES get a result on MC 13.Ideas?

Guten Tag!Ich habe gestern die Freeware entdeckt und bin schwer begeistert davon. Da ich früher viel mit ProE WF3 gezeichnet habe und die Software ähnlich aufgebaut ist.Nun ist leider sämtliche Menüführung etc in Englisch. Habe es schon mehrfach deinstalliert, da ich von einem Installationsfehler ausgegangen bin...Habe auch eine dll Datei gefunden, in einem Ordner de, und fand im Netz auch Bilder wo alles auf deutsch ist.Kann mir jemand einen Tip geben wie ich es umstellen kann?Vielen Dank schon malMfG HubertusThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi. I'm looking into buying a desktop and a lot of the ones I'm looking at install windows 7 premium. When looking at ptc platform support, it doesn't list windows 7 premium.

I have MathCAD version 15.0 and the new WRITECSV function does not appear to work. I made a simple matrix (M) and tried to write the file using WRITECSV("data.csv",M) and I get the error "this value must be a string" on the M. I tried changing M to "M" and then I get the error "The seond parameter must be a matrix", which I expect since, yes, M is supposed to be a matrix but WRITECSV doesn't accept a matrix! What's wrong? Has anyone else had this problem?

Local assignment of ORIGIN doesn't seem to work in Mathcad Prime - see attached. (Possibly this has already been reported.)Alan

Hi, I am trying to install Pro/INTRALINK Client r3.4 M062 on a 64-bit PC with Windows & Ultimate. (Note: This same computer used to have 64-bit Vista Ultimate on it and INTRALINK r3.4 M062 Client worked just fine.) The installation goes just fine, but when I try to launch Pro/I I get the PTC window to pop up, but the log-in "window" never comes up. Can anyone give me some guidelines or instruction or tips on getting INTRALINK r3.4 M062 Client to work on a Windows 7 64-bit PC? Thanks!
