    MathCAD - Long Equation Formating

    Thanks for the feedback guys. It sure seems strange to me that this feature has gone overlooked by PTC for so long, it seems like a basic and highly desired feature. For what it is worth, here is my typical work around. I use File – Page Setup to select the biggest page size possible, (ex. 92”...

    MathCAD - Long Equation Formating

    So here is the deal. I have generated a MathCAD document that contains many very long automatically generated equations. These equations prevent me from properly formatting the document for printing (they run pass the right edge page break). I know that I can hit CTRL+ENTER in the middle of...

    Pro/MECHANICA Thermal Unconstrained DOF

    Well – I knew that it would be something simple! Turns out that I never set a thermal conductivity. The library of materials that we use have assigned structural parameters, but the thermal parameters are not filled in – I never thought to check this! Thanks a bunch for your help brep and...

    Pro/MECHANICA Thermal Unconstrained DOF

    I am running steady state thermal analysis. I agree that structural BC’s should not have any impact for pure thermal analysis. I do not understand what I am doing wrong. I even tried a cube with one surface featuring a fixed temp, the opposite side at a different fixed temp, and all other...

    Pro/MECHANICA Thermal Unconstrained DOF

    Update: I have tried adding a structural constraint (I fixed one of the surfaces in all rotations and translations. When I run the Modal Analysis in the Structural portion of Mechanica the model returns no rigid body modes. I also tried using the Entity ID macro in the Pro/MECHANICA standalone...

    Pro/MECHANICA Thermal Unconstrained DOF

    I’m trying to use the thermal portion of Pro/Mechanica for the first time. As a first model to get me going I have mocked up a simple cube with a surface heat load on one side, a fixed temperature on the opposite side, and convection on the other four walls. I keep getting the following error...
