PTC Mathcad is extremely simple and easy to use. Everyone can learn Mathcad without any extensive training or courses. The layout is simple and effective. The program is fast and reliable. Everyone should use this program for daily engineering calculations to save time and avoid errors.

PTC Mathcad lack in customised units. The software works well only when units are matching with the units that are stored in Mathcad library. There should an option added in the program to add customised units.

Caratteristica migliore di PTC Mathcad è indubbiamente l'ambiente di lavoro intuitivo. Una volta individuate le equazioni significative per la progettazione di alcuni componenti meccanici mi è bastato riportarle sul foglio di lavoro esattamente come le avrei scritte su carta. Modificando le variabili ad inizio documento mi è stato possibile, grazie al calcolo automatico, valutare come differenti scelte progettuali incidessero sulla riuscita del progetto stesso.

Il software ha meno potenza di calcolo rispetto ad altri i quali però richiedono una trascrizione delle equazioni meno intuitiva. Ciò comporta più lente procedure di calcolo su documenti molto articolati.

PTC has ruined one of the best programs ever. There was a substitute of sorts, the Svientific Notebook program. However, that company went out of business in 2021.

Mathcad under Mathsoft was the engineers friend.

Since PTC acquired Mathsoft, users have endured forced upgrades, incompatible legacy worksheets, and outrageous price hikes.

The format in which the calculations come are consistent

It lacks a lot of functionalities that excel gives like linking cells

I used it to present several papers, and I liked the way the worksheet is customizable, and it looked like a real checkered sheets, besides, you didn't have to have a calculator or an Excel sheet next to you, since all the calculations were done by the program. However, I never found an option to place formulas in a presentation way, so I had to do it in external software and add them in image format.

Presentation and order is the main strength of PTC Mathcad, as it is the perfect combination of Word and Excel. On a sheet (of set sizes), you can place Titles, Subtitles, text in general; and most importantly, mathematical formulas. That, the same software performs the calculations to solve different engineering problems. And in the same way these data can be represented in tables or graphs that are elaborated with tools integrated with the program.

It is very difficult to present an unresolved formula in Mathcad, that is to say, when placing a formula without declared variables, they are painted red, indicating that this formula is an error, and this error when passing it to a PDF document, continues to be visible, being annoying.

Mathcad is a great engineering analysis tool that is can be handily used with its partner software PTC CREO (formerly Pro/E). This integration is key to understanding the fundamentals of basic engineering like stress analysis and thermal analysis.

Mathcad can be a bit taxing when working with Creo or other engineering software. It is amazing software nevertheless.

I love it. Totally recommended. You can use it for almost everything!!

This software is so easy to use. You do not need to learn any programming language, it has several options. I still get surprised when I find a new feature. I love it.

I have used the Mathcad 15 and sometimes I found that version simplier. Recently, I tried to make a 3D surface plot and was hard to customize it compared to Mathcad 15

1. Comparatively easy to write detailed engineering worksheets.2. Complex mathematical expressions can be written in an expanded form which facilitates the verification.

Picture add-in feature can be improved.Overlapping of pictures over texts should be prevented automatically.

I met this SW at University and I still love it.

Like an hand worksheet with the innovative feature of showing variable dimensions i.e.: metre, lb, N and so on so you don't need to check for analytical model consistency.

It's an amazing and effecient tools for any engineer.
