Date: 02/12/2021

This tutorial provides an introduction to creating worksheets using MathCAD Prime. Worksheets in MathCAD can be used to document and automate technical mathematical algorithms or to develop them. Using a simple practical example from construction mechanics for calculating the components of a force in the plane, the following topics are explained:

-Text entry and editing 02:10
-Create variables as input parameters with units of the worksheet 03:10
-Insertion of external graphics 07:05
-Creation of variables with units as output parameters of the worksheet, input of mathematical expressions and use trigonometric built-in functions 08:25
-Installation of a self-check to test the plausibility of the previously calculated values 15:00
-Use of control structures (two way condition or rather if-then-else statements) via if-function, e.g. to stop further calculations if an integrated self-check of the algorithm has identified an error in the previous calculation 18:50
-Concatenate text with one another using the corresponding built-in function 23:50
