Hello fellow MathCad users,
Is it possible to display the numerical value of variables in a line of calculations. For example if I was to calculate the strength of a beam. I want the calculations to look like the following:
Depth of beam: D = 300mm
Bredth of beam: B = 125mm
Section modulus: Z = 1/6 * B * D^2 = 1/6 * 125mm * 300mm^2 = 1.875 x 10 ^6 mm3
Bending strength: fb = 38 MPa
Strength reduction: phi= 0.8
Loading duration factor: k = 0.8
Bending strength: Mn = phi*k*fb*Z = 0.8*0.8*38MPa*1.875 x 10 ^6 mm3 = 57 kNm
FYI I have MathCad 15 and MathCad Prime 3.0.
I appreciate any feedback.
Liam
Kind of. Almost. Use the symbolic keyword "explicit" ... I've checked and although it's x-rated it will show numbers even if they're under 18.
Remember that the symbolic processor is not unit-aware, which is why some of the results look a bit strange. In fact, I'm intrigued as to how it equated cubic metres to litres ...
