Turning off green squiggly

$
0
0
How does one turn off the green squiggly line under "mathcad predefined variables".
I use "c" as number of servers - suspect mathcad may have it as the speed of light. Don't care, I want to turn the squiggly under it off so I can print cleanly.

"A name is required here" error in defining Table/Matrix Components

I'm trying to build a table column by column and I'm getting the "A name is required here" error. I've double checked to make sure that I'm using the literal (".") and vector ("[") subscripts correctly to the best of my knowledge. I've set my origin to 1 at the top of my sheet. I've searched and can't find anything to help.

 

Any help and solutions are appreciatied.

Unable to create 12.0 engine factory' error

$

Hello, I am troubleshooting an installation of Mathcad 13.1. When launching from the machine with the installation there are no problems. However, This machine is on a network and the goal is to allow user client machines to launch the application served by the machine with the installed version of Mathcad 13.1. When a client machine tries to launch Mathcad from the mapped network drive the error "Unable to create 12.0 factory" is displayed. Has anyone any experience running Mathcad locally on a client machined from a server with this error? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Clearing variable definitions

$
0
0
Is there a keyword by which I can tell Mathcad to ignore previous variable definitions, or otherwise limit the scope of a variable definition to a particular region in the worksheet? I'd like to be able to reuse variable names within a single sheet without having to worry about stale values being carried over from a prior definition. For example, something like this:

i:=1
i= (mathcad returns "1")

clear (or appropriate keyword)

i= (mathcad returns "undefined" placeholder)

Using local variable definitions inside separate programs would work, but then you're confined to a fixed layout. Is there any other way to do this?

license server not starting

Hi, We are running Mathcad using a license server. Unfortunately the server stopped working a couple of days ago. When trying to start the ptc_d daemon, the logfile shows 22:06:22 (lmgrd) ptc_d exited with status 25 (Invalid host) The hostname did not change, nor did the NIC. Any clues on what might be the problem?

Plotting a graph of the function f(x)

Hi all,

 

I am a newbie to the usage of mathcad and could do with some step by step help from you experts out there.

 

I have a mathcad problem:

 

I want to plot a graph of the function f(x) from the equation;

 

f(x) = x(14-7x)(16-7x)

4(4-x)^2

 

I do not want to show the equation in the worksheet (and so imagine there will be some packets of data on the sheet somewhere that can be referenced to).

 

From the information I need to plot a graph of the function f(x) (repeated myself didn't I).

 

I would like the graph needs to cover the interval [0, 2.68] in the x direction and [0, 80] in the y direction.

 

If anybody can help (step by step because I'm thick....lol). I woul;d be really grateful.

Solving Equations for undefined variable with units

$

So, I am confused on how to solve an equation for an unknown with units. I am not sure if I am having unit problems or if my way of stating variables is incorrect. I am simply just trying to solve for the variable "d" which should have units in length. How should I declare variables that rely on other known and unknown variables? When should I solve an equation symbolically and just numerically in terms of getting proper units? I am used to using maple 16 so switching to MathCAD has been fairly intiutive but I am failing to pick up on certain features. If you fix my MathCAD code, I should be able to figure it out from the fix solution. Thanks!

Excel to Mathcad and Mathcad to Excel data transfer

$

Dear all,

 

I got thanks a discussion chain some Mathcad macro's to read data in any worksheet in an excel file but thw woksheet name has to be known.

My data acquisition system generates automatically excel data table with every time new worksheet names.

Is it possible to obtain all the worksheet names of an excel file directly from Mathcad ?

 

Second question:

It is possible to read directly from Mathcad data within worksheet of Excel file and it works well.

Is it possible to do the reverse, ie to write data direclty from Mathcad in specific worksheets of an excel file ?

 

I have Mathcad 14 (will have mathcad 15 next year)

 

Thank you

Symbolically find a Matrix Determinant in Prime 2.0?

Is it possible in MathCAD Prime 2.0 to find the determinant of matrix that has variables in some of the matrix positions? The determinant would be a polynomial. Would this be best described as “symbolically finding the determinant of the matrix?”

Mathcad 15 won't run on Windows 7

Hi

 

I have a computere with windows 7 x64 there, no matter what i do, won't run mathcad 15.

The installation seems to be completed without any problems, but when i try to run the application, the splash screen shows up, but after a short period of time, the application crash without any error messages except the Windows own "Mathcad application has stopped working". I have another computer also with windows 7 x64, and here the application will start without any problems . The only differense between these computers is that the first one is a "samsung" installation width showelware and all, and computer nr. 2 is a vanilla installation of windows.

 

I have tried the following

 

Reinstallation of MSXML 4.0 SP.2

---------||--------- of .Net, i can't remember the version, but it was the newest I could find.

Reinstallation of the computer (with the samsung disk)

 

But nothing seems to work. Mathcad 14 worked without any problems...

 

I hope somebody will help, and sorry for my bad english, i´m a dane
