Mathcad - Empirical Equations
Mathcad - Empirical Equations
(OP)
Hi,
For all engineers who use Mathcad:
For example:
If I were to define fc := 4000psi
How would Mathcad perform the following function for the elastic modulus?:
57000(fc)^0.5
I know Mathcad is smart in terms of performing unit conversions seamlessly, but what about equations where a specific unit is required to obtain a desired result? Is there a way to "hardset" the input unit? Also, is there a way to "hardset" the output unit for empirical equations where the output units don't necessarily equal the input units (such as the formula for the elastic modulus)? Or would I need to apply a unit to the constant portion so that the units equal?
Thanks

would be the way I'd do it. This allows the equation to be used with whatever unit system you might use. So, you could input the quantity in psi and do the post-fix conversion to pascal or bar, for example.

I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!
