PTC Mathcad Prime 11

Mathcad Prime 11 enables engineers to perform, document, and share complex engineering calculations using traditional mathematical notation.

Complex Calculations Made Simple

The biggest improvement over previous versions of Mathcad is that Mathcad Prime is so easy to use. It is the first solution to enable users to simultaneously solve and document engineering calculations in a single reusable worksheet, which can be saved or easily converted to several formats.

Mathcad Prime 11’s intuitive interface combines live, standard math notation, text, and graphs in a presentable format, which enables knowledge capture, reuse, and design verification for improved product quality.

What’s new in Mathcad Prime 11:

Mathcad Prime 11 focuses on advanced controls to scripting as well as other usability improvements.

  • Application Updates:
    • Binary, octal, and hexadecimal support
    • Custom unit systems: Create your own unit systems for increased flexibility alongside the built-in SI, USCS, and CGS systems.
    • Manual calculation mode: Have more control over worksheet calculations with the ability to recalculate selected sections or the entire page.
    • Python for advanced controls: Users can now use Python scripting for advanced controls in addition to the existing support for VBScript, Jscript, and Javascript via API.
    • Result threshold formatting: Threshold formatting is now available to set for exponential, complex, or zero results.
    • Region border control: Updated controls allow users to toggle borders on or off within worksheets or individual or multiple selected regions.
  • Engine Enhancements:
    • New ‘decomp’ keyword: Allows users to use decomp to decompose large symbolic expressions to simplify analysis.
    • New vec() and IsRange() functions
    • Plot processing: Improvements have been made for 2D plots, including native XY plots, contour plots, and polar plots, to support faster display times.
    • Solve block: New and improved support for scaling objective functions and constraints.
    • Symbolic calculations: Performance improvements have been made for symbolic calculations, including ‘simplify’ keyword and calculus operations.

Features and Benefits:

Easy-to-Learn and Use

A task-based interface promotes usability and enables you to learn unfamiliar functions or features quickly and easily.

Document-Focused

A powerful, document-centric calculation environment lets you create complex, professional engineering design documents quickly and easily in a format that is presentable and understandable.

Advanced Math Exploration

Display, manipulate, analyze, and plot data, with full unit support throughout the application, so you can create calculations for testing before committing them to a design.

Dynamic Units Support Throughout All Calculations

This translates into reduced errors, higher accuracy of results, and more precise communication between engineers and teams, improving process efficiency in product development.
