Due to the speed at which PTC Mathcad can process data and present it visually, we were able to present the figures pertaining to the experiments to the British National Space Center within just two days.

PTC Mathcad is a very important aspect of my job. With PTC Mathcad, the process of creating new calculations and the ability to visualize the rationale behind the calculation significantly simplifies and speeds up the entire process of testing and evaluating polymers.

Mathcad has become the requisite software for the performance of my job. My production is contongent on Mathcad and my textbooks.

Using PTC Mathcad, all of the formulas and mathematical terms are making calculations much easier to check compared to Microsoft Excel. With recurring tasks like pin and lug analysis, we had to do the same work repeatedly when we did calculations by hand. Using PTC Matcad, we have defined templates. Now analyses are three to five times faster.

My favorite part of Mathcad is that it’s easy to use. Engineers new to the system can accomplish tasks in a matter of hours and become experts in two weeks. There are no special programming skills required.

PTC Mathcad lets me use time-temperature super position methods, which generate master curves and then seamlessly allow me to document my work. I can easily change and test variables and see the effect on the whole model. I think you can easily see the value of managing and storing calculations for a global manufacturing company like 3M.
