Engineering with Mathcad

New features in Mathcad 15.0 (Coming)

2010-05-04T20:07:00.000-07:00

Design of Experiments (DoE) - Over 25 new functions to reduce the time and expense of conducting experiments through DoE by understanding the variable interactions that will influence the experiment. Do helps you identify critical factors and optimal settings for your complex process. It provides templates for fewer yet more intelligent experiments which are indispensable when you have multiple variables and levels.
Integration to Knovel Math content - Quickly access the full list of Knovel's fully documented Mathcad worksheets from trusted Roark's and Hick's reference works, reducing the time it takes to solve your complex math problems.
Integration to Truenumbers - Truenumbers enables the ability to easily communicate values across applications and the organization without loss of quantity or unit integrity. Results and values can be moved outside of Mathcad onto different document types - enabling easy sharing of the data.
Excel 2007 support - Leverage the following functions and features with Excel 2007: READEXCEL(), WRITEEXCEL(), READFILE, the data import wizard, and the Excel Add-in.
Windows 7 support

user review

Pros: Very intuitive, very similar to mathcad and much better for calculation than excell altogether a very nice experience

Cons: it would be nice to have an alignment function so everything could be lined up for printing off

Summary: There is nothing to dislike ... altogether a very nice piece of work, as above i would like to be able to align comment boxes but i dare say someone will do that in the near future!
