Assigning Units to functions in C

[ptc-4441233]

Hi Community,

thanks again on the help on my last question, now as the programming of my dll has advanced and is finished, there is a new thing I have a question on.

In Mathcad I can work quite well with Units and Unit convertion, my question regards that topic, the stuff i found so far in the forum wasn't quite helpful on that issue.

So to break it down to a simple example lets take the example multiply, which is provided with mathcad.

If I type just the name of the function somewhere on an empty worksheet and a equal sign it will look like on the picture, giving me a idea which unit are demanded by the function.

My question is, if there is a way to teach mathcad that the input already has units, and if mathcad is able to return the result in a certain unit. But not in mathcad itself, I want to do that in my Visual Studio Project, means I would need some C code fragments or some command.

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Regards David

Hello!

Please attach to the message your Mathcad worksheet (select "Use advanced editor").

Hi Valdimir,

Thanks for your reply!

I think it will not be of any help to have the worksheet as my question regards C Code, but here you go.

Still I think you would need the dll as well as it is a user defined function to make it work.

We have had this problem when we were created the DLL in WaterSteamPro (www.wsp.ru) project.

Our solution - using one special sheet with name watersteamepro.xmdc and the reference on this sheet from each new sheet:

Hi Valery,

thanks for that hint, but still thats some kind of workaround, did you check when programming this, with the ptc technical support if there is a solution other than this?

Thanks in Advance,

David
