Mathcad for Engineering Calculations

Mathcad is engineering calculation software that drives innovation and offers significant personal and process productivity advantages for product development and engineering design projects. Unlike proprietary calculating tools and spreadsheets, Mathcad enables you to design and document engineering calculations simultaneously with comprehensive applied mathematics functionality and dynamic, unit-aware calculations.

Overview

Developed by PTC, today’s top engineers use Mathcad to perform, document and share calculation and design work. The unique Mathcad visual format and scratchpad interface integrate standard mathematical notation, text and graphs in a single worksheet – making Mathcad ideal for knowledge capture, calculation reuse, and engineering collaboration. Benefits include:

Easy to learn and use – no special programming skills required
Increases productivity, saving engineers time and reducing errors
Improves verification and validation of critical calculations
Promotes calculation best practices and reuse of calculation content
Complete documentation of calculations supports standards compliance

“I am familiar with the software (Mathcad) from work done during my PhD, and it offers many more advantages than Excel for solving ‘proper’ maths.” Raven Manufacturing Ltd.

Key Features

Ideal Tool for Engineers: Mathcad manages your engineering calculations better than spreadsheets (which hide the logic of your calculations behind cryptic expressions and embedded macros) or computation programming languages (which have steep learning curves). If you know how to write a math equation, you already know how to use Mathcad!
Scratchpad Interface and Real Math Notation: Mathcad uses real mathematics notation so your calculations look and behave just like the formulas in your reference books. Mathcad calculations are easy to create, understand, audit, share, and troubleshoot.
Automatic Unit Conversions: Mathcad recognizes thousands of standard units of measurement, so if your calculations contain mixed units, Mathcad eliminates conversion errors and reduces time spent trouble-shooting your calculations.
Supports all your Calculation Management Needs: Numeric and Symbolic mathematics, equation solving, vectors and matrices, 2D and 3D plotting, and more.

Integration

Mathcad easily integrates with a variety of data sources and third party products including:

Microsoft Excel & other MS Office applications
MathWorks’ MATLAB
Pro/ENGINEER
Bentley Microstation
ANSYS Workbench
