Mathcad 14.0 FAQs
What's the news with this release?
- Mathcad 14.0 is PTC's first global release of Mathcad since the acquisition in April 2006. In addition to doubling the language support, this latest release offers a number of enhancements that improve engineering calculation power and clarity.
- Also, Mathcad 14.0 supports the Mathcad-Pro/ENGINEER integration introduced last year.
What are the benefits of this release?
- The enhancements in this release help customers further improve personal and process productivity. With improved language support for engineering calculation authoring tasks, as well as within the user interface and help resources, this release greatly improves an organization's ability to operate in a global environment. The new calculation capabilities and clarity in documentation help organizations capture, share and reuse critical engineering calculation IP used throughout the product development process.
- The Mathcad-Pro/ENGINEER integration enables customers to predict the performance of designs, drive CAD model dimensions and parameters directly from results calculated in Mathcad, use dimensions and parameters from Pro/ENGINEER in downstream engineering calculations performed and documented in Mathcad, and instantly update CAD models and the associated Mathcad worksheet when parameters change. This improves design quality, reduces errors from data transfer between applications, and saves time by reducing the number of iterations required to optimize the design.
Global Language Support
- Available in Nine Languages-In addition to English, French, German, and Japanese, new languages include Italian, Spanish, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)
