Key Features
Visualise your solutions
Mathcad’s 2D and 3D graphs update along with changes in your calculations. Its graphing capabilities give you better insight into your work, and precise control over your graphs. Plot types include Cartesian, polar, surface, contour, bar, scatter and vector-field plots. Graph options include lighting effects, markers, line and grid colour control, overlapping graphics regions, axis markers and specialised line types for DSP. A picture operator gives you the same interactive display for image processing applications. Any part of a Mathcad document can be animated, including numerical results, 2D and 3D graphs and images.

Document your work using real maths notation
Mathcad's patented 'live' maths technology lets you work with mathematical expressions using standard mathematical notation - but with the added ability to recalculate, view, present and publish with ease, even to the Web. Mathcad automatically recalculates your equations, redraws your graphs and updates your results whenever you change a variable. Type an integral and everyone can read the notation. Integrating text, formulae and graphs into a single worksheet makes it easy to visualise, illustrate and annotate all your calculation work. Integrated images, text, graphs and mathematics means your whole solution is contained and documented in one place. Formatting options and style sheets let you prepare documents to exact specifications. You can distribute your work in Mathcad format or RTF, or as HTML/MathML for the Web.

Verify, validate and annotate your solutions
By integrating text, formulae and graphs in a single worksheet, you can easily visualize, illustrate and annotate calculation work. Your entire solution is contained and documented in one place. Formatting options and templates let you prepare documents to exact specifications. Engineering calculations and design work documented in Mathcad are easier to read, verify and validate because all of the key assumptions, equations, methodology and results are documented in natural maths notation. The calculations can be read and understood by others, which dramatically improves design verification, validation, and audit processes.

Solve your most complex calculations
A powerful programming interface allows you to loop through complex calculations and develop result sets. You can write your own functions or simply generate a table of results using conditionals, error handling, and other programming constructs. Programs can be stored in their own document, and referenced from other Mathcad documents, for flexible, reusable code.

Integrate data across software and systems
The formal bi-directional integration between Mathcad and Pro/ENGINEER enables unique predictive engineering capabilities. Mathcad can be used to predict the behaviour of designs and subsequently drive the key parameters and dimensions used in Pro/ENGINEER CAD models. Binary read/write support for uniform, arbitrary, homogenous binary format files gives users the flexibility of directly importing or exporting detailed and compact data sets. File I/O components support mixed-format data, including strings, exponential notation, complex numbers, and real numbers, to ensure data integrity when passing mixed data types. File Input and Output also allow in-place control over rows and columns, allowing file headers and footers to be left in the original data without interfering with import.

Share Mathcad worksheets and collaborate across networks
Web

Mathcad provides easy access to live math documents on your local network or the Web. Move seamlessly through your Intranet or Extranet with integrated browser and hyperlink support. There are several ways Mathcad supports activity in the browser.

File or Print
XML file format enables users to easily transform content to MS Word, pdf, XHTML, and other publishing formats. Mathcad documents can be printed to paper or PDF formats, and viewed and printed with Adobe Acrobat.

E-books
Mathcad's Authoring Mode lets you build your own electronic books so you can compile and electronically present collections of your Mathcad worksheets - complete with a table of contents, links and a searchable index. File encryption and a robust document protection mechanism help you secure your intellectual property while you share your work.

More about Mathcad
For more than 20 years, Mathcad has been the standard for creating, documenting, and sharing technical calculations. Mathcad is a better tool for engineering and scientific calculations than spreadsheets (which hide the logic of your calculations behind cryptic expressions and embedded macros) or computation programming languages (which have steep learning curves). Mathcad uses real maths notation that looks and behaves just like the formulae in your reference books. Mathcad calculations are easy to create, understand, audit, share and troubleshoot. With one of the largest user bases in the engineering world, Mathcad is easy to learn and use - no special programming skills are required. Mathcad documentation and context-sensitive help make learning and using Mathcad an intuitive process. Tutorials for both new and experienced Mathcad users step you through common as well as complex operations. With its easy-to-use, free-form scratchpad interface, instant recalculation advantages, comprehensive graphing and extensive document processing capabilities, Mathcad will boost your productivity, increase accuracy and ensure your work is fully documented and reusable. Mathcad's open application architecture combined with its support of .NET and its native XML format make it easy to integrate Mathcad into existing IT structures and other applications.
