[mathcad] 3d graphs for random functions

Author: =?iso-8859-2?Q?Damian_Ga=B3=EAziowski?= Posted: Wed, 2 Apr 2008 12:18:08 +0200

Hey,

I need to make a 3d surface plot for my function, and i have problems with that. I didn't find the answear in similar topics so i decided to make a new one.

the function is:

G(x,y)=(sqrt(1+2*x^2*y^2))/sqrt((1-y^2)^2))

when i'm trying to create a plot, mathcad report me an error "divide by zero",
even when i'm setting x>0 and y>0

maybe formula is wrong, i don't know
all i want is to show how my variable G depends on x,y

G=(sqrt(1+2*x^2*y^2))/sqrt((1-y)^2))

and i want to make a plot ...G on Y axis, x on X, y on Z. What is the right formula...?How should i do this?

best regard!
Damien

Damien,

Your function becomes infinite at y = +/- 1, as 1 - y^2 = 0 at these values.

Neil

helo Neil

problem is exactly when i'm setting y different from 1 and -1 stil the same error. "divide by zero"
have you checked it? do you have 3d surface graph to that?

Damien

ps. can you send me right definition of this function in mathcad?, parameters as well.

Damien

If a divide by zero happens anywhere other than when y = +/- 1, then what you actually have is not the same as what you think you have.

Try the enclosed script.

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
