Tables in Mathcad

Tables in Mathcad

Tables in Mathcad

(OP)
Is it possible to put arrays of varying units in a table in Mathcad?

Here is a simplified example of what I want to do:

i:=1..4
N[i:=1,2,3,4
L[i:=2ft,4ft,7ft,9ft

Then when I try augment(N,L) I get an error because the L array has units.  Any suggestions on what to do?

Thanks.

RE: Tables in Mathcad

All of the units in a matrix have to be the same.  Make L[i unitless by dividing it by ft.

Thanks for the help.

I ended up reassigning all of my units, so that Mathcad still "converts" units, but everything is essentially unitless.

For example, I said

ft:=1
in:=12*ft

Now, Mathcad thinks there are no units.
