[mathcad] 3D graphics

Author: Snelling, Dave Posted: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 19:56:37 -0500

Is anyone else running Mathcad 14 under Windows Vista Ultimate? I have
a problem where Mathcad will not draw 3-D graphic surface plots although
it will draw contour plots for the same graph. It does not appear to be
a video driver issue.
After being slow to master the new technical support processes I have
finally got Mathcad looking at the problem, but with no success so far.
I would be interested to hear of other users experience with the new
methods of web-based technical support at PTC. I am probably too
reactionary, but I have found it confusing and not user-friendly
although I am finally getting the hang of it. I guess it is my own
fault for not having studied the 114 page user support manual issued by
PTC.

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
