Hello!
I'm a beginner with Mathcad and I have a simple (perhaps) question:
I define a force (F:=10N) and an area (A:=10mm^2) and then calculate the stress (s:=F/A).
The result is expressed in Pa: can I visualize it in N/mm^2?
Thanks to all..
Changing units is fairly simple. I do it all the time. If the unit you want is not in the library such as ksi, use the tilde ~ operator to globally define the value. e.g. ksi ~ 1000*lbf/in^2. Then you can use ksi as a displayed unit.
I just opened my MCAD2001i and it had newtons as N and mm listed within the units table. You should be able to just insert after the answer N/mm^2 and it will be in the correct unit values.
