Plotting failed error

[fahmed-2]

Hello All,

I have generated a mathcad worksheet that can find bearing capacity of a soil based on a given footing size. Now, I am attempting to find the bearing capacity based on random footing size and for a given settlement but I am seeing a plotting failed error. Please help. My version Prime 7.0

Thank you

What is the result when you evaluate your function as

Delta_g(2 m, 25 mm)=

?

Success!

right now, I am just trying to justify the shape of the curve. If the shape looks as expected, then I am going to check the values

When you define a new function, you should test it if it works OK before you go ahead and write pages of code which uses this function.

E.g. you are using a function name as if it were a variable - you forgot to apply the function argument:

This is just one example - there are more similar mistakes in your sheet, though.

Try to evaluate a function for some specific values and if it fails, use the error tracing from the calculation ribbon to find the offending position

EDIT: In total you have to fix the very same error three times until you see this:

I smaller step width than the 0.3 m you used gives a better curve, but it takes quite long to calculate. Haven't looked why the calcs are so time consuming.

I am unable to track the errors. can you please share the worksheet in version 7

Unfortunately I can't convert Prime 9 sheets to Prime 7.

Don't understand which problem you encounter!?

Simply type Deltaq(4m,25mm)= and follow the error trace to the first position and add the argument (B.f).

Go back to the Deltaq expression - there still is an error and so you use the error tracing again.

After the third time you will be rewarded.

got my reward!!! Thank you
