Engineering Example 11.3 calculates the flow of water Engineering Example 11.2 calculates the currentįlow in a multi-loop circuit. These will be illustrated inĮngineering Example 11.1 summarizes five different ways of solving for the time it You may use units with root, polyroots, and solve blocks. Good discussion of these topics in much greater depth. Important to check the solution to see if the solution falls within your acceptableįor more information on these topics, refer to the PTC Mathcad Help. This function is useful when find fails to find a solution. The minerr function uses the last iteration even if it falls outside of TOL. Iterates a solution until the difference in the two most recent iterations is less than May want to use minerr if PTC Mathcad cannot iterate a solution. The minerr function is used in place of the find function in a solve block. This constraint is satisfied if x > 2.9990. Thus if a solve block constraint is x > 3, The CTOL (constraint tolerance) built-in variable tells PTC Mathcad howĬlosely a constraint in a solve block must be met for a solution to be acceptable. This will increase the precision of the result, but it willĪlso increase the calculation time, or may make it impossible for PTC Mathcad to If you are not satisfied with the solutions arrived at, you can redefine (convergence tolerance), PTC Mathcad arrives at a solution. When the difference between the two most recent iterations is less than TOL When using solve blocks and the root function, PTC Mathcad iterates a solution. The values can also be redefined within the worksheet. If theyĪre specified (bracketed), root finds var on this interval. The root function takes the form root(f(var), var, ). Plot the function prior to giving PTC Mathcad the initial guess. If a function has several solutions, then the solution that PTC Mathcad finds isīased on the initial guess you give PTC Mathcad. We will also discuss solving multiple equations with multiple unknowns.įor now, we will focus on using the root function. In later sections, we will discuss finding all the so lutions to a polynomialįunction. The root function is used to find a single solution to a single function with a single Provide several engineering examples which illustrate the use of each method of

Require initial guess values, thus a plot is useful to help select the initial guess.ĭiscuss the two different forms that it takes: unbracketed and bracketed. This helps to visualize the solutionīefore using PTC Mathcad to solve the equations. As discussed in Chapter 8, when trying to solve for anĮquation, it is very useful to plot the equations. These are some of the most useful functions for engineers, this chapter will use manyĮxamples to illustrate their use. The intent of this chapter is to illustrate how engineering problemsĬan be solved using the PTC Mathcad functions root, polyroots, and Find. In this chapter, we will add more solving tools to your PTC In Chapter 10, we introduced the keyword “solve” with the symbolic evaluation operator. It ranks up there with the use of units as one of PTC Mathcad’s best features. Solving engineering equations is one of PTC Mathcad’s Once you begin using the solving features of PTC Mathcad, you will wonder how youĮver got along without them.
