Mathcad Express Max Value from List

Mathcad Express Max Value from List

Mathcad Express Max Value from List

(OP)
I am new to Mathcad and I am trying to make a simple load combination sheet where I enter in the loads (i.e. dead, live, snow), calculate the load combinations per ACSE7, then have mathcad select the largest value. I have the load combinations calculated, each under its own variable (i.e. load1, load2, load3). I need help with figuring out how to get mathcad to select the largest value. Thank you!

RE: Mathcad Express Max Value from List

Have you tried using the max function?

If you need to find the index number of an element in a vector or array, then use the match function. To find the index of the maximum value in a vector v, use match(max(v),v).
