Plotting failed error

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

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.

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.
