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


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?

Overlapping text

I am working with another engineer.  When I open his sheets there are problems with text overlapping one another. If it were screen size I would think that it would still print out ok, but it does not. It prints the sheets with the overlapping print.   Is there a way to fix this.

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.

Mathcad14 / Windows10 and DLLs

Hi all, I've installed Mathcad14 on Windows10. Mathcad seems to run fine but I cannot run DLLs any more(not even the example DLLs in the userfi executable folders). Anyone has any expertise nice with running and compiling Mathcad14 DLLs in a Windows10 environment.

 

I've also tried to complile some DLLs the same way that did in a WindowsXP (using studio 2010 express) environment but I was not successful (compliles ok but Mathcad cannot access/read the DLL).

 

Any help is appreciate. Geo

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!

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?”

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!

Post hoc ergo Propter hoc

Sorry about the lengthy post.

Do not know which forum to send this to because it could apply to almost any of them.

If there are two time series, each with a certain amount of random noise. A and B. (There are also related time series C, D, E, etc but these have (postulated) minor effects.)

And if it is concluded that A has a driving influence on B because of a logical mechanism in the chemistry/physics/mechanics/economics of which they are both a part. But an argument can be made for B causing A.

They are certainly linked in some way, possibly both driven by some other parameter X or both influencing each other in a limited positive feedback.

Long term trends show movements in the same direction in both A and B. Averageing over shorter intervals show some movement in the same direction, but at times in opposite directions.

Logic tends to favour the leading series causing the lagging one, rather than the other way around, but if Bs (major) effect on A is slow to come about and that (ninor one) of A on B instantaneous, the time difference in the two series could be the "wrong" way round, especially if both are non linear or limited at their extreme values.

My question is:
Is this a class of problem which can be approached mathematically by looking at, say, first second and third differentials, or the effect of smoothing parameters.?

If one wants to play with examples, MathCad seems to be a perfect tool to use. Has anyone done that.?

Can one prove or invalidate an argument that says that because the plot of A moves in advance of B, it must be the cause. ?

I am thinking about chemical reactions, or biological populations of bacteria, or even the economics of oil exploration expenditure slowly responding to volatile price rises but being constrained by numbers of available drilling rigs and then not decreasing as quickly when prices fall. (because you don't stop at half an oil well)

There are people who make the unfashionable case for total CO2 levels in the atmosphere being driven by the average global temperature, certainly methane levels are.

In some of the longer term plots that I have seen, the fluctuations in temperature appears to lead those in corresponding gases. Could this just be an artifact of the way the graphs are assembled.?

I am less concerned with the rights and wrongs of the examples quoted than with the possibility of establishing or disproving the hypothoses mathematically.

(Please do not quote all those IPCC climate models that we see described in the press as proof, because they all start by assuming a particular mechanism to be the case. I saw enough Finite Element Models of North Sea and other oil and gas reservoirs to be skeptical - even when a good history match has been obtained. Like Neural Nets, it is too easy to fit the data when the parameters are loosely defined.)

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
