What's the news with
this release?
Mathcad 14.0 is PTC's first global release of
Mathcad since the acquisition in April 2006. In
addition to doubling the language support, this
latest release offers a number of enhancements that
improve engineering calculation power and clarity.
Also, Mathcad 14.0 supports the Mathcad-Pro/ENGINEER
integration introduced last year.
How does this release benefit
the customer?
The enhancements in this release help customers
further improve personal and process productivity.
With improved language support for engineering
calculation authoring tasks, as well as within the
user interface and help resources, this release
greatly improves an organization's ability to
operate in a global environment. The new calculation
capabilities and clarity in documentation help
organizations capture, share and reuse critical
engineering calculation IP used throughout the
product development process.
The Mathcad-Pro/ENGINEER integration enables
customers to predict the performance of designs,
drive CAD model dimensions and parameters directly
from results calculated in Mathcad, use dimensions
and parameters from Pro/ENGINEER in downstream
engineering calculations performed and documented in
Mathcad, and instantly update CAD models and the
associated Mathcad worksheet when parameters change.
This improves design quality, reduces errors from
data transfer between applications, and saves time
by reducing the number of iterations required to
optimize the design.

capabilities in this release?
