Syntax error in formula editor

I wanna use a custom syntax in formula editor. I don't have any problem when my syntax is simple including + - * /, for example (2*4mm). But when I try something like sqrt(16mm), an error message pops up.

What's the right syntax for something like 10 mm + square (100mm) + (2mm)[sup]3[/sup]?

Good morning,

Sqrt and cube must be done on REAL operands.

Try sqrt(100mm/1mm)*1mm

Tried it successfully, thank you, Costin.

I'm not familiar with writing syntax in CATIA. I couldn't apply cube syntax. how should I write (100mm)[sup]20[/sup]?
 
The symbol for raising at an exponent is ** (double asterisk)

Looking at your first post, it should look like this:

((2mm/1mm)**3)*1mm

Best regards,
