Stress~=24.5*ksi because ksi isn't a standard unit. Would this allow me to define constants in terms of my new units? It currently does not permit commands like: I have a large number of 'templates' that I use for various analyses, organized in a system of directories by structure type, and it really isn't associated with the WINMCAD directory.ĭo you suggest a 'units.mct' file that I could put in the WINMCAD directory that is referenced in my 'blank.mcd' file in which I could define additional units, like 'ksi:=1000*psi'? Explore the many ways Symbolics and Solve blocks enable Mathcad Prime users to optimize and improve workflowIn this webinar, our Mathcad specialist will rev. Create a vector of the constants appearing on the right-hand side of the system of equations. To use lsolve, perform the following steps: Create a matrix that contains the coefficients of the variables in your system of equations. It has the extra units added in on the right side of the right margin where it won't get printed out, like all my other scratch work. Mathcad has a built-in function for solving a linear system of equations called lsolve. I open it first, then start my work from there. Set unit system to US type force:1lbf type force Mathcad returns 32.174 lb.ft/sec2 you can then tab to the units placeholder and type lbf and Mathcad will display force1lbf, indicating that lbf is indeed defined as a unit, which is also evident from the Insert Unit selections.

I set up Mathcad with a 'blank.mcd' file to start with. However, I don't have a 'normal.mct', or a 'units.mct' as suggested by cuky, nor do I have a simple 'templates' directory.

You have clearly understood my situation.
