Displaying Formulas and Values
Displaying Formulas and Values
(OP)
Hi Guys,
I have MathCad 8. I need to show my formulas and their values e.g. (M = wL^2/8 = 100x10^2/8 = 1250).
I cannot get MathCad to show the values without displaying the its' assignment.

RE: Displaying Formulas and Values
I would suggest you go to the mathcad forum and attach your file, those guys are very helpful.
RE: Displaying Formulas and Values
The best I can think of is to write
M : w*L^2/8
100*10^2/8 =
Which does what you want, but it is a pain.
I can't imagine there is much value in showing the intermediate step very often, one of the things MathCad normally gets right is assigning values to variables.

Frequently, in engineering, as the values change you need to verify what they are rather than relying only on the result of the equation.

w:100
L:10
M:w*L^2/8
M=
will show you exactly what inputs you used, and the equation, and the result. Isn't that good enough?

As usual there are depths of detail in MathCad that are far beyond my useage.

W:100, L:10 (or any other value)
M:W*L^2/8
Symbolically evalue M --> or using the keys [Ctl] + [.]
The result should be M--> 100. 10 SQRT(4)
Good luck
RE: Displaying Formulas and Values
M:W*L^2/8 would look like:
M=100*10*2/8
as a means of verifying the correctness of the calculation process instead of just the final answer

There are plenty of workarounds, such as displaying the individual values AFTER the calculation.

M:45
L:85
w:M*L^2/8
w[CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[.]=
THIS WILL GIVE: W-->45*85^1/4=136.637
