PTC Mathcad Prime delivers new capabilities that allow engineers to optimize their critical design processes.

PTC Mathcad Prime lets you type equations just as you would write them on a blackboard or read them in a reference book. There’s no difficult programming language or syntax to learn; you simply type in your equations and see the results. You can use the equations to solve virtually any math problem you encounter. And you can place text anywhere on the worksheet to document your work.

Global Definitions

Variable definitions are the backbone of your PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 worksheets. Some variables are specific to individual calculation steps and some will be utilized throughout the worksheet.

The Global Definition operator allows you to define and evaluate a variable anywhere in your worksheet without having to worry about calculation order. This makes both worksheet management and documentation presentation easier – constants and parameters can be defined as ‘true’ throughout your worksheet and can be placed close to the end result of the calculation to support ‘what if’ analyses, as well as for clear and concise presentation of your work.

Math in Text

PTC Mathcad Prime is the industry standard for engineering calculations and a simple and presentable text flow is important for easy to read, easy to interpret worksheets based on those calculations.

PTC Mathcad Prime allows math and text to be seamlessly integrated to provide a natural text flow that increases the readability of your worksheet definitions, design notes and explanatory text. Live math can be inserted, pasted and moved anywhere within text to augment worksheet presentation with content that will update on upstream changes in calculation. By enabling math within text, PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 allows you much greater scope with your worksheet presentation

Math Formatting

As a fully functional engineering calculation documentation tool, PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 already supports standard text formatting. To allow even greater worksheet documentation flexibility you can now format your live math too.

Math font, font size, color and highlight can be changed to suit personal, company or industry standard documentation expectations. You can now do things such as direct reader focus by highlighting important results, separate specific calculation elements by assigning them different colors and match text formatting to produce a more coherent reading experience for users of your worksheet. With both text and math formatting you get the full suite of formatting options for all your documentation needs.
