Overall Satisfaction with PTC Mathcad
PTC Mathcad is being used by several engineers in the engineering department to document the calculations, assumptions and the design process of a project. It is much more intuitive than the alternatives such as Microsoft Excel. It is very easy to verify the calculations, check the measurement units and include pictures in Mathcad worksheets.
- Conversion of measurement units (Imperial and Metric)
- Easy to use for writing detailed engineering worksheets
- Formulas can be written in the expanded form which facilitates verification
- Spell Checker feature is life saver.
- The feature to add pictures can be improved. The pictures do not align easily. Overlapping of text and picture should be prevented automatically.
- Possibility to add customized units
- Ability to write formulas as we write on paper
- Measuring unit change
- Spell Checker
- It definitely helped me document the projects more efficiently in a way that is usable for other teammates as well.
The most obvious and frequent alternative is Microsoft Excel which allows entering formulas. I certainly prefer Mathcad as it permits writing the formulas in the expanded form inside a detailed worksheet. Excel does not offer the same report writing functionality as Mathcad does. There is no measuring unit feature built in Excel. Besides all this, Mathcad allows importing the Excel tables into its worksheet.
