What is PTC Mathcad?

PTC Mathcad is an engineering calculation software developed by PTC used primarily for solving, analyzing, and sharing critical engineering design knowledge. First introduced in 1986, Mathcad combines a professional design environment with the easy usability of paper and pencil.

Mathcad allows engineers to capture and document their critical design projects and engineering knowledge in a way that is naturally compatible with the way they think and work. It provides an interface for entering mathematical equations using standard mathematical notation, enabling users to author engineering calculations, add rich formatting, and publish them electronically. This provides a simple way for engineers to capture, document, and reuse engineering IP and design knowledge critical to business and product success.

Key features and capabilities of PTC Mathcad include:

• Document engineering calculations using standard mathematical notation
• Solve equations analytically or numerically
• Visualize and plot data
• Automate worksheets
• Produce richly formatted computationally enabled documents
• Securely share vital engineering IP
• Manage revisions and capture design history
• Integrate with other tools such as Microsoft Excel

PTC Mathcad is used by leading manufacturing corporations and engineering organizations in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, machinery, government, education and many more. It increases productivity, ensures accuracy, facilitates knowledge re-use, and helps bring innovative products to market faster.
