Solving Current Equations using KVL, PTC 5.0

I am trying to find the efficiency of a 3 loop system. In order to find that, I need current equations of all the loops from which I can extract power of the circuit and eventually efficiency of the system. The solution I get is way too lengthy, I tried even manually to simplify them but had no luck.
Please help!

You can always assign the result, which Prime refuses to display as of its size, to a function in all unknowns and use this function for further calculations:

In case you really need to see the huge result, you may try symbolic modifiers like "assume, ALL>0" or "simplify" or "simplify,max". Sometimes it helps.

 

If you disable the definition of s:=1j*omega you get a result (in s) displayed and can later use "substitute,s=1j*omega" when you display the three results singly with "rectangular".

    Thank you Werner for looking into it. But the fact that, I still cant the simplified solution of the currents, even when I used the suggested method by you.
    In case, I dont get simplified results, then can I get the real and imaginary parts from the current?
    Such as Current 1= Real+imag
    from this I think, I might get the simplified solution.
    I have attached the 3 pics, and that what i am looking to get but my equations are way too complex as they have a phase difference between the two sources.

        Thanks. Can you please upload your mathcad file.

        Best,

        I didn't save it. The work was done in Mathcad 11. It will not work as shown in Prime. But it might help giving you suggestions of what you could try in Prime.

         

        Success!
