xy plot - undefined variable

Hi 

My problem is to plot angular velocity as function of time. I get the message "this variable is undefined. Check that the label is set correctly" for the variable t - well - it's a variable defined in the function? - 

Tips would be much appreciated.

In this instance "t" needs to have units of time to balance the equation.

Sometimes mathcad needs its plotting range defined.  Usually it will default to -10 to +10 but sometimes it doesn't.  Not sure why.  Anyway, just give it a range variable for t.

 

t:=0s,0.01s,1s

To be specific: You can't use the quickplot feature with units. You need to define a range for the abscissa values whenever you have to assign units to them. Keep in mind that when defining a range with units, its mandatory to provide the second value. Something like t:=0s .. 100s won't work.
