PTC announced that Mathcad 14.0 content can now be managed with Windchill 9.1. This continues and expands PTC’s embedding of Mathcad across its product suite. This new capability will enable users to search for Mathcad content that spans multiple worksheets using Mathcad file attributes and common mathematical and Greek characters. PTC also stated that once a Mathcad reference is established within Pro/ENGINEER (or even from within another Mathcad file), Windchill systematically maintains this relationship. Thus, regardless of where users check-out a top-level design or worksheet, they can be guaranteed to also check-out any dependent Mathcad files. Additionally, a preview function will allow any authorized person to see a static preview of every Mathcad worksheet revision that is checked into Windchill, e.g., a reviewer or partner in the supply chain.
This integration and management of Mathcad worksheets adds good value to the PTC portfolio of products by expanding a company’s ability to capture and share the intellectual knowledge and best practices of its engineers.
