    Mathcad summations help

    It appears that there is more to the worksheet than is shown. It's better if you upload the file, not an image.

    Solve Block for Systems (Another Solve Block Question)

    Yeah this is a kind of quirky situation that I haven't seen, but apparently it has to do with the first 2 constraints in your solve block. With the original assigned values, these two constraints are numerically identical. When the algorithm then begins to tweak sigma-z these two constraints...

    Solve Block for Systems (Another Solve Block Question)

    When you consider that the find() function returns a vector containing values measured in different units, it makes sense to disallow units in that vector and hence in the quantities of the solve block. I'm letting you research this and tell me if my reasoning is correct.

    Solve Block for Systems (Another Solve Block Question)

    Also Mathcad doesn't understand your units. I had removed the units and fixed the assignment and got it to work. Putting the units back in broke it again. I've never used units in a solve block but not saying it shouldn't work. I would say research the Mathcad utilization of your units

    Solve Block for Systems (Another Solve Block Question)

    Your first assignment statement E = erroneously uses the boolean equate instead of the assignment or definition operator := like you correctly used elsehwere.

    ver 15 surface plots don't work

    I did boot into safe mode and the surface plots started working, with what I would call questionable quirks, such as wacky background pixelation occasionally, but it is usable.

    ver 15 surface plots don't work

    I'm running version 15 on Windows 7. I notice from a couple of years back other users have had trouble with surface plots but what seemed to work for those users (toggling the borders on/off) has no effect so I'm stuck. It's not my doing either; the quicksheet examples are not plotting. I just...
