[mathcad] RE: Memory problems
Author: Pergande, Albert N Posted: Tue, 18 Apr 2006 14:20:39 -0400
There is a serious memory leak when doing animation. Every frame leaves a sheet's worth of memory allocated, and only closing MathCAD and waiting a few minutes will ring it back. I reported this with examples last beta. Al Pergande Senior Radar Engineer Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control MP 200 5600 Sandlake Road Orlando, Fl 32819 Voice 407-356-5169 Fax 407-356-0933 "albert.n.pergande" for personal mail - "al" _____ From: Snelling, Dave "mailto:Dave.Snelling" Sent: Sunday, April 16, 2006 12:01 PM To: Mathcad Discussion List Subject: [mathcad] Memory problems Occasionally Mathcad 13, running under XP pro sp 2, reports "out of memory" so I began paying attention to the memory available. I found that even after Mathcad was closed that task manager showed the process mathcad.exe running, and I had to close the process manually. On one occasion I noted Mathcad was using 396 MB with one Mathcad sheet open. I closed Mathcad and task manager showed mathcad.exe running using 357 MB. I terminated the process, opened Mathcad and the single sheet I had been using, and Mathcad was now using 94 MB. Has anyone else noted similar problems? Dave Snelling Dr David R.

Product Reviews

"Our work ranges from complex medical imaging research to large-scale mapping and diagrams and we need a tool that is able to handle anything we investigate. With Mathcad, we are able to manipulate and analyse our data quickly while at the same time documenting our work, for sharing and publication. We also use it for pilot studies conducted in support of research grant applications. It is an end-to-end tool for research and development."
Dr. Kenneth Castleman, President of Advanced Digital Imaging Research (ADIR), Houston, Texas

"Mathcad is an integral product for my work... With Mathcad, itís easy to disseminate design calculations because the documents look like real math. Thereís very little I canít do in Mathcad. The main benefits come from the format, which resemble a typed set of calculations. These programs are easier to develop by engineers and easier for others to follow and review since the logic is expressed in a familiar manner. The format is what places Mathcad head and shoulders above other programs of a similar function."
Andre Pavlov, Structural Engineer, Florida Department of Transportation
