PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0

Text Styles

Easily apply preconfigured formatting to text or text regions in your worksheet using Text Styles.
User Interface Location: Click Text Formatting > Text Styles
Release: PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0
Benefits and Description:
With Text Styles you can quickly apply preferred formatting styles to different documentation elements in the worksheet. Text Styles provide an easy way to create visual consistency for documentation sections throughout the worksheet. You can reuse a specific text formatting setup by creating a style based on that setup. You can add the style to a text style gallery and apply the style to any text or text region selection within the worksheet. PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0 comes with several default text styles you can use, modify, or delete. You can also create new, custom text styles. Text style formatting options include:
- Font
- Font size
- Font color
- Highlight color
- Bold, Italic, Underline
- Paragraph formatting

Gradient Operator

Insert and use the Gradient Operator with both numeric and symbolic engines.
User Interface Location: Click Math > Operators and Symbols > Operators
Release: PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0
Benefits and Description:
The Gradient Operator, under the Calculus Operators category, returns the gradient of a scalar function with respect to defined variables. You can evaluate the operator both numerically and symbolically.

Internal Links

Create links from text to different regions within the same worksheet. Use internal links to quickly navigate to specific sections of your documentation or calculation from relevant text.
User Interface Location: Click Text Formatting > Links
Release: PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0
Benefits and Description:
Create links between a source text selection and a target region in the worksheet. Click the linked source text selection to navigate the worksheet and display the target region. The source of an internal link can be any text selection within a text region. The target region of an internal link can be any region type.

Updates and enhancements to the Symbolic engine in PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0
User Interface Location: Click Math > Operators and Symbols > Symbolics
Release: PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0

Benefits and Description:

PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0 continues to enhance the symbolic engine. The following updates and enhancements have been made:
Symbolic Solving of ODEs
- Symbolic solving of Ordinary Differential Equations with full support for first order ODEs and partial support for higher order ODEs. You can now solve linear forms of ODEs and ODEs that you can reduce to linear form.
Logarithmic Integral Functions
- Adding all new Logarithmic integral functions to the Symbolic Functions category, including:
li(x) — logarithmic Integral function
Li(x) — offset logarithmic integral function
Elliptic Integral Functions
- Adding all new Elliptic integral functions to the Symbolic Functions category, including:
ellipticF(z, m) - incomplete elliptic integral of the first kind
ellipticK(m) - complete elliptic integral of the first kind
ellipticE(z, m) - incomplete elliptic integral of the second kind
ellipticE(m) - complete elliptic integral of the second kind
ellipticPi(z, n, m) - incomplete elliptic integral of the third kind
ellipticPi(n, m) - complete elliptic integral of the third kind
Symbolic Solve Block (find)
- You can now symbolically solve a system of equations using the find function in solve blocks. If it is possible to solve, the solution is given in terms of variable names.
Symbolic Assumption on Function
- Like in existing variable assumptions, you can now make assumptions about a function result using the assume keyword.
Definite Integral with complex limits
- Symbolically evaluate definite integrals with complex boundaries.
Improvements to Calculus Operators
- Improved performance and added supported use cases for calculus operators, including:
Derivative
Limits
Integrals, including integral performance in some cases
Summation
General keyword improvements
- Improved functionality and added supported use cases for keywords, including:
solve
series
parfrac
confrac
assume
General function improvements
- Improved functionality and added supported use cases for functions evaluated symbolically, including:
Jacobian
root
Integral transforms
laplace and invlaplace

Updates and enhancements to the numeric engine in PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0.
User Interface Location: N/A.
Release: PTC Mathcad Prime 9.0.0.0

Benefits and Description

The following numeric engine updates and enhancements have been made:
PDESolve in Solve Block
- Partial Differential Equations can now be evaluated in solve blocks using the new pdesolve() function. The pdesolve function returns a function or vector of functions that solves a one-dimensional nonlinear Partial Differential Equation (PDE) or system of PDEs, with n independent equality constraints for an nth order differential equation.
General function improvements
- Improved functionality and added supported use cases for functions evaluated numerically, including:
onefn
lowpass
odesolve (in solve block)
