PTC announced Mathcad 14.0, the latest release of its engineering calculation
software. Since its acquisition of Mathsoft in April 2006, PTC has focused on
making the broad capabilities of the Mathcad technology more widely available to
customers operating across geographic boundaries, PTC said in a statement.
Mathcad 14.0 expands the ability of PTC's customers to solve pressing
engineering calculation needs and improves the associated documentation of these
calculations throughout the product development process.
Engineering calculations are critical to the process of designing and
developing products, which today is often a globally distributed process. With
Mathcad 14.0, PTC now provides full Unicode support and will soon offer the
product in nine languages. New languages will include Italian, Spanish, Korean,
and both Traditional and Simplified Chinese. Expanded language support in
Mathcad 14.0 will enable geographically dispersed teams to solve and document
calculations in their local language which ultimately improves efficiencies by
increasing speed and accuracy as well as reducing potential errors that may
occur from language translation.
Mathcad 14.0 also delivers improved calculation power and clarity through new
worksheet analysis functions, inline numeric evaluation enhancements, and
enhanced symbolics. This will help users to derive formulas, demonstrate process
and document engineering reasoning. Specific enhancements to the Mathcad 14.0
mathematic solvers will allow users to solve and document a broader range of
engineering design problems.
The integration between Mathcad and Pro/ENGINEER is a bi-directional link
between the two applications. Users of these solutions can easily associate any
Mathcad file with a Pro/ENGINEER part or assembly using the analysis feature in
Pro/ENGINEER.
Mathcad 14.0 is currently available in English.
