This new module can solve linear programming problems with up to 200 variables and 500 constraints, and Mathcad's compact matrix notation makes it easy to specify the constraints. The next screen shows the solver context menu offering the user a choice of optimization routines. New IntelliMath technology anticipates your next move, streamlining calculations and increasing productivity. IntelliMath's AutoSelect feature chooses the appropriate integration algorithm. Numerical integration makes smart choices, handling difficult cases by automatically switching to special routines.
Context menus provide convenient control for advanced users who want to make their own choices.
Intellimath's smart units automatically tracks and converts units for you, and intelligently selects final units you would customarily expect. Interactivity and Insight Mathcad 8's new 3D graphics are a major step up in visualization power. With Mathcad 8 users can combine multiple objects in a single plot, zoom and spin surfaces with the mouse, and bring out shapes and details with multiple light sources and surface properties. These new interactive visualization tools give users deeper insight into their models and will speed the design process. Additionally, like every Mathcad plot, these beautiful 3D graphs can be animated using Mathcad's native animation feature, and the resulting AVI file can be pasted back into any Mathcad worksheet for viewing.
