Showing the underlying equations
Showing the underlying equations
(OP)
Hi all,
When working with code checks there are often multiple formulas given a set of variables. For instance DnV (Norwegian certification agency) gives a resulting sling force with one padeye as:
RSF:=1.4*F
Whereas with 2 to 4 padeyes it would be:
RSF:=1.2*SKL*PL*F/cos(v)
There is no problem in writing an if statement to choose the correct value, but when presenting a report on this I would like to be able to write the if statement off the printed area, and still get the symbolic result presented, something like this:
n:=4
(hidden)
RSF:=if(n=1,1.4*F,1.2*SKL*PL*F/cos(v))
(hidden end)
RSF=1.2*SKL*PL*F/cos(v)=Numerical value
This would make it possible for me to generate a less "cluttered" report to present.
Any ideas?

@jghrist: thanks for a nice looking suggestion, it looks like a good way of doing it, but it still isn't able to display the solution formatted as an equation, is there any way of doing that?

Notice that in Occupant's attachment, v, SKL, PL, and F are defined after the (hidden) RSF formula.

Just a quick extra question: Anybody know WB script to change textbox colour and appearance?

fine, if not be more specific.
