Overall Satisfaction with PTC Mathcad
[PTC Mathcad] is used in the engineering department for any "hand calculation" that is done.
- Iterative calculations
- Calculation templates
- Documentation of design process
- Attaching support material, such as pictures, is a bit simplistic
- Automatic equation solving would be nice.
- The new free version (as of 2020) has a intrusive watermark that can't be removed.
- Speeds up calculations (especially when corrections need to be made near the beginning).
- Ability to re-use old calculations as a template can save significant time.
- You can use consistent formatting for all calculations, allowing for more organized, clear calculations.
I have not found an alternative that is as useful as [PTC Mathcad]. In fact it is exactly what I've been looking for for some time.
