No Sharp Corners Allowed
The ODE and PDE routines don't like abrupt changes (i.e. corners) when the routine includes an error criteria. One of two things may happen: the integration stops with an error, or the step size gets...
View ArticleNew e-book on reactor modeling with Mathcad
I just "published" an e-book, "Advanced Chemical Reactor Modeling (with Mathcad): Single Phase Fluid". It is available on my website, www.harveyhensley.com. There is plenty of description about the...
View ArticlePresenting lectures using Mathcad
I was thinking (which prompts my friends to say.."Oh no! We're in for it now!), "what are the options for live (not video) presentations of technical subjects using Mathcad?" The options below are...
View ArticleThe Prode Properties dll is here
It took awhile to complete the dll for the last Prode functions. Functions with arrays and with more than one result presented a problem. I eventually had to buy some books on C++ and learn more...
