Hi again.
Continuing to work on my sheet that estimates the top speed of an aircraft in level flight. I would like to plot level speed against altitude, similar to this curve here for the real WW2-era P-51D fighter I am using to validate my model: http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/mustang/P-51D_15342_Level.jpg
For whatever reason (and I feel like a moron) I find the documentation for mathcad to be unclear. It's like it's skipping some fundamental step that I haven't learned yet. Same goes for most of the tutorials I find.
In any case, here is my question at the moment:
Should I iterate my solve block a few times, and then use a curve-fitting algorithm to get a nice graph? Is there an easier way to get a curve?
I'm not even sure if I'm approaching this the right way. I tried to follow this tutorial: http://www.imakenews.com/ptcexpress/e_article001008454.cfm?x=b11,0,w as an example but I keep getting tripped up. I could define altitude, horsepower, and weight as vectors below the solve block like the tutorial does, but some of the parameters above the block require these values as inputs.
Then I thought maybe I could use a "program" but I read that you can't put a Given statement into a program.
If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd appreciate.
