Mathcad 9: Defining Data in a table format, then pull information from it

[SFares]

Hello All,

Please see the attached document (Mathcad9). Currently, I am defining these variables individually in a table format.  I'd like to start defining the data for each member and its associated information ( Length, force, moment..) shown  then pull the information from the table to define each variable as i am currently doing. I am running analysis for each panel TC# and its associated information and report the results in an array format which i am not showing here.

Thanks,

Sam

So what is the question or the problem?

When you use Primes table to define variables, you actually are defining vectors, just in a more compact way.

So in your table for example you defined a vector L.x which you can use the same way as you used the vector l.x  you defined singly so far.

So if, lets say, your calculation requires you to multiply l.x by Axial and add Moment.MP, you could do so on basis of a preselected value of TC

or you do the calculation for all rows in one go

Don't forget to use vectorization as otherwise Prime uses the vector scalar product for the multiplication.

Yes, I do the calculation for all rows in one go. Thank you, Werner!
