[mathcad] RE: about the function Find
Author: Oakley, Philip SELEX UK Posted: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 14:04:22 +0000
Tiny You are confusing Numeric with Symbolic (a very common problem) Given-Find is a numeric solution construct The symbolic solution construct can also be used but doesn't need variables to have values assigne (they show in red if that is the case) I updated the first equation to be symbolic orientated. I think you should be able to solve for the lot all in one step. Also have a look at http://www.edn.com/article/CA6301377.html for a really good article on pulling together solve and optimisation blocks (you can ignore the electronics elements if it is not your scene) Philip From: Boekel, Tiny van "mailto:Tiny.vanBoekel" Sent: 11 February 2006 13:55 To: Mathcad Discussion List Subject: RE: [mathcad] about the function Find Dear Mathcad users I wonder whether someone can help me with the following (small) problem. I am using the function Find for solving an equation in a Solve block using the symbolic equal sign ("the arrow"), see accompanying file (I am using Mathcad 11). I do not seem to be able to capture the solution of the find function into a new parameter, in other words I have to fill in the value manually. There must be a way to do this but I can't figure out how. As you will see it is an iterative calculation; it usually converges after three iterations. there must also be a way to automate this. However, the first mentioned problem is the most annoying one. I hope that someone can help me out here. Thanks a lot in advance!

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
