Optimization Problem

Hi

actually i have an optimization problem and want to aks if that is possible in mathcad.

For example if i have 8 input variables what i need to optimize and a few boundarys and a long calculation. 

Is that possible within mathcad?

Yes. 

What good other program is there available? I have complicated formulas which are moore easy do write within mathcad because of the good mathematic notation and hard in other software like excel. But mathcad can only calculate on 1 cpu

The free program Scilab can easily work the problem out.

The other problem is that i even dont know initial parameters for my variables to get a correct result so i need to exclude nonsense range of variables. I think i should be able to use a cpu cluster so i should be able to use more than 1 cpu fopr optimization problems

Let the program work the cores not you.

Cheers

Terry

Try at first in Mathcad!

I hope we can help.

I have solved a lot of optimization problem in the field of mechanics.

Some of its is here

2^5 Problems for STEM Education 

See please chapters with optimization problems

Study 8. Live kinematic schemes Or Arm of Hella

Study 20. Journey from home to school on the Fermat route Or The second optical property of hyperbola. 

Study 21. Optimization of potential energy Or Curves of the second order in statistics 

Study 25. Hybrid calculations on the computer Or One more about a cone

Study 26. Funicular Polygon in Static, Kinematics and Dynamics Or Isaac Newton vs Joseph Louis Lagrange

You can free download Mathcad-sheets from this site.

But if your problem is very... you must create own program with own algorithm...
