Overall Satisfaction with PTC Mathcad
PTC Mathcad is used in various engineering departments within our organization. It is used for engineering calculations and design reviews.
- PTC Mathcad has an easy to use interface.
- PTC Mathcad offers templates that can be used to start projects.
- PTC Mathcad has extensive math tools and functions for complex engineering analysis work.
- Some of the math and text formatting aspects are a little cumbersome.
- Converting from older Matchcad versions to the newer Mathcad Prime platform could be made easier. It should be a direct import function.
- Mathcad has allowed us to take legacy hand written calculations and document them in an electronic format. Now we can quickly run different design scenarios using the legacy calculations. It allows us to quickly vet new design options.
- Sharing new design concepts is quicker and easier within our various design groups.
I have only used a freeware version called SMath Studio. It has similar functionality but lacks the full experience MathCad offers.
