Problem using Operators on MathCad 3.1

$
0
0

I'm having some problem using the integral operator along with symbolic evaluation. When I get the final expression instead of showing "t^3" it shows "function^3." I want to know if there's a setting I can change for MathCad to properly display the result.

 

Thanks in advanced.

E- Book Search Function

The eBook is suppose to have a search function.  The search function uses the idex that can be defined in the properties box.  I have followed the instructions in the eBook help menu.  This is the first time I have used the functionality.  The eBook was large and needed to be searchable.  The search is produced, but each of the first letters are dropped.  Has anyone had the same problem.  Attached is the files for the eBook.  Ignor the broken links to the excel sheet.  M241 is the handbook name.  Some the supporting files are too big to post, that should not make a different in the search function.

Maximum of graph

In the attached prime worksheet I am graphing the shear and moment in a beam. Is there a simple (maybe 1 or 2 lines) for determining the minimum or maximum values on either graph? The three lines I have for determining the maximum is convoluted and inaccurate (the maximum is 8kip*ft, not 5.9 kip*ft).

In Prime 3.1, the xy plot shows up blank when I print to pdf. Please help.

parametric solution and TOL

$
0
0

I am using a parametric solution of a solve block within another solve block. I would like to use a smaller TOL for the parametric solution (i.e. the inner problem) than for the outer block. If I set the TOL before creating the solve block for the parametric solution, does the TOL get set permanently for the parametric solution? Or, will the current value of TOL be used whenever a parametric solve block solution is encountered?

Similar to vector matrix product, but different…

Hi, I don’t know what it is called, but I am looping for this functionality:

Give a vector with the same height as a matrix, find the matrix who’s row values are the matrix row values multiplied by the row value in the vector.

See attached image for a clearer explanation.

Is there an easy way to do this in MathCAD? I have found a work around, but it is not elegant.

Thanks

Oliver

HELP CONVERT FILES

Hi

This is my first time making use of Mathcad. Would anyone be willing to convert these two legacy files please?

(I am using the Prime 3.0 trail.)

Transforming mathcad programs into "Python" for use in robotics

$
0
0

In our new project "psycho-mathematics" we have developped a program in mathcad 11/14 able to calculate presumable human behaviour as a function of certain boundary conditions.

We would like to integrate this theory into robotics for integrating human properties.

Robotics often use "Python" as a common programming language.

Are there possibilities to transform programs written in mathcad into "Python"?

Trouble with temperature

$

I've always had issues with temperature units, early Mathcad had "R" and "K," for Rankine and Kelvin; these made sense, they were confusing but it was the confusion we had been dealing with since we learned about "hot" and "cold."

 

Then we were given the Centigrade and Fahrenheit scales, and if that didn't suffice, the "difference in temperature" scales.

 

I began the attached sheet to calculate the change in size as a function of temperature change.  I got my answer, but I also got an aggravating question.

 

Can anyone explain the attached (version 15) sheet; how can -321 °F not be -321 °F?

Set the default font size for math

Hi

 

Is there a way to define e.g. 10 as default font size globally for the whole document or even for the program (Prime 3.1)?

How do I change default units?

$
0
0

I want my Mathcad Prime 3.0 sheet to auto populate using a different unit than the default unit system. For example I want all my answers to be in mm (millimeters) instead of m (meters). Can I change the default so I don't have to type "mm" into every answer manually?

 

Thanks

Help needed! Solve for side lengths; Minimize perimeter with known area problem

I'm sorry but this is so basic... but how do you set up a sheet and solver block for this?  Perimeter = 2x + 2y    area = x*y.  What are the shortest lengths, x and y, so we can have a plot of 1000?  Thanks to all.  I know using "minimize" is key...


Prime 3.1 Column vs Row operator performance difference?

$
0
0

In the thread Re: Similar to vector matrix product, but different… the poster put the return value from a program inside the loop, which you don't normally see.

 

 

Out of idle curiosity, I wondered if it had any effect on Mathcad's performance by doing this rather than placing the return value outside of the loop.   I also wondered what effect using the Prime row operator would make and doing without the vectorized multiplication.  What I found rather surprised me, in that the row operator method was considerably faster than the original column method.   I looked at doing array expansion by replicating a column-wise to conform with b and then doing Hademard (element-by-element) multiplication.   I also tried transposing b, multiplying each "column" by its corresponding vector element and then transposing the result.  This is what I found (on an i7 with 8 GiB RAM running Windows 10).

 

 

I was surprised to see that the row operator method was so quick.  I wonder if the internal order of array storage is row-wise rather than column-wise (which I'd kind of expect given that Mathcad deals with column vectors)?  I also did the same test (minus the row operator) in Mathcad M15 M040 and got the following result ... considerably slower in all cases and not much to choose between them.

Has anyone installed the full Prime 3.1 on MS Surface Pro 3?

$

I have been using Mathcad ever since release 2.5 [tells you how old I am].  Two weeks ago my laptop crashed and I was not able to recover anything.  I wanted to transfer my full Prime 3.1 license to my new Surface Pro 3, as it is becoming a very popular engineering platform.  Support could not install it as the Surface does not have an Ethernet card.  Support was able to only install Mathcad Express.  Is anyone using the full version of Prime 3.1 on Surface Pro 3?  Thanks.

Solve Block Issue - Improvement Required

$
0
0

I have a spreadsheet which calculates the reaction, deflection and slope of a HDPE pipeline as it is being flooded to the seabed for a given water depth. There is 7 no. simultaneous equations which have to be solved in order to obtain the results.

 

My issue is that the solve block is very sensitive to the guess values, and I often find myself tweaking them until the solve block returns a solution which can be extremely tedious. - Changing Ra to 50 in this instance.

 

So my question is, can this method be improved and could the equations be solved symbolically?

 

Cheers,

 

Mike

Hi.

 

The choice of colors seems very limited. Is there a way to get a bigger palette, to have more colors?
