What do you like best about Mathcad Prime?

Mathcad's inherent unit tracking and type-to-calculate style make it an excellent tool for quickly developing calculation sheets. The built in units are robust and aid in resolving an unit discrepancies that would have to be manually checked 100% of the time in a conventional spreadsheet program. The ability to change inputs and have the calculation immediately recalculate is also invaluable to creating a calculation for a design that may have a multitude of configurations that you can quickly spot check to see how the calculation and design change.

The formatting abilities of Mathcad make it very easy to create professional quality documents very quickly and easily. Text, images, headers, footers, page numbers, etc, are all easy to add and adjust as needed within a calculation sheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mathcad Prime?

One of Mathcad's strength also becomes it's weakness in some use cases; empirical equations can be used in the program, but the units must be manually altered in the body of the equation in order for the empirical relationship to remain the same. This is a minor inconvenience, and one that a user gets used to quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mathcad Prime:

I would highly recommend Mathcad for design engineers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mathcad Prime solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are logic tools that can be included to make sheets more sophisticated; one such case that I commonly implement is to write in a design check where values above a certain threshold are checked and return a text indicator that the design is insufficient, and values below a certain threshold return a text indicator that the design is sufficient.
