PTC Mathcad Prime PTC Mathcad is the Industry Standard Software for Engineering Calculations. The latest release, PTC Mathcad Prime, adds powerful new calculation capabilities to a powerful yet easy-to-learn, easy-to-use platform. PTC.com Page 1 of 4 | PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 Data Sheet PTC Mathcad is the industry standard software for solving, analyzing, and sharing your most vital engineering calculations. PTC Mathcad ® Prime ® 3.0 The Standard for Engineering Calculations How PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 works PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 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. PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 also lets you easily set your preferred unit system and freely mix units of measure, ultimately maintaining dimensional integrity and preventing unit mistakes. You can work in your preferred unit system or switch to another system for a particular set of equations. PTC Mathcad’s live mathematical notation, units intel - ligence, and powerful calculation capabilities, pre - sented within an easy-to-use interface, allows engi - neers and design teams to communicate their critical design and engineering knowledge. PTC Mathcad does what spreadsheets, word process - ing, presentation software and programming applica - tions simply cannot do – it brings powerful calculation capabilities into human-readable form. It integrates these human-readable, live calculations with plots, graphs, text, and images into a single, interactive, professionally presented document. This ease and familiarity of an engineering notebook enables design exploration, validation and verification, and the clear communication of critical engineering information. You don’t need to be a PTC Mathcad expert to read and understand PTC Mathcad documents. PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 has significantly improved its calculation capability to allow bigger problems to be solved, faster. With hundreds of built-in mathematical functions and the unlimited ability to define your own, PTC Mathcad supports your advanced engineering design exploration requirements, including the ability to solve equations both numerically and symbolically, and the ability to solve complex systems of equations. The result is a comprehensive tool allowing every engineer – from the casual user who simply needs to document the source of design parameters, to the power user who needs to perform sophisticated design studies and trade-off analyses – to spend more of their time actually engineering. Live mathematical notation, units intelligence, and powerful calculation capabilities, all within an easy-to-use interface. PTC.com Page 2 of 4 | PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 Data Sheet PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 simplifies and stream - lines calculation documentation, which is critical to optimizing the design process and meeting product requirements and quality assurance standards. It combines equations, text and graphics in a present - able format, making it easy to keep track of the most complex calculations for verification and validation. And when used in conjunction with PTC’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, PTC Wind - chill ® , engineering calculations can be easily man - aged, standardized and shared across the organiza - tion. You do not have to be a PTC Mathcad expert (or even a user) to be able to read and understand calcu - lations in PTC Mathcad documents. This helps expe - dite knowledge capture, design review processes, and exchange of engineering knowledge.
