Mathcad combines five technical software tools in high-value special offer
Adept Scientific announces the release of Mathcad Premium 2000, a special edition of MathSoft Inc's leading technical calculation and documentation software that integrates the latest Mathcad Professional 2000 with advanced 3D technical graphing, 2D CAD and optimisation tools.
MathSoft's Axum 6, Intergraph's SmartSketch 3, the Mathcad Solving & Optimisation Extension Pack and the new Mathcad 2000 Treasury are included with Mathcad Professional 2000 in this special offer bundle, which is available for a limited time at less than half the normal list price of the individual components.
Mathcad 2000 Premium provides an integrated desktop environment to speed technical design, documentation and communication using the latest in mathematical, engineering and Internet technologies. This comprehensive edition provides power users with advanced solving and optimisation capabilities, full 2D parametric design, spectacular 2D and 3D visualisation, and extensive reference materials and web resources.
Mathcad 2000 Premium empowers engineers with the broadest set of features for handling even the most complex technical design projects.
Building on MathSoft's market-leading Professional edition, Mathcad 2000 Premium also includes the Mathcad Solving & Optimisation Extension Pack, which enhances Mathcad's maths engine with powerful additional functions for optimisation, mixed integer programming, quadratic AutoSelect, report generation and higher capacity problem solving.
The Mathcad 2000 Treasury, a compendium of hints, tips and essential background to help you understand the mathematics underlying your calculations and get the most out of Mathcad, is also provided with the Premium edition.
Mathcad Premium 2000 also includes two complete, standalone programs that are fully compatible with Mathcad itself.
Axum 6, the full version of MathSoft's leading technical graphics packages, delivers superior visualisation and analysis capabilities with over 90 2D and 3D plot types, complete control over graph formatting and labelling, and built-in data analysis tools. Versatile and extremely easy to use, Axum 6 lets you generate publication quality charts, set multiple axes, produce multipanel and conditional plots (Trellis graphics) and rotate your graphs to reveal hidden patterns in your data.
It includes a complete scripting language too.
SmartSketch 3 is the latest in intelligent 2D parametric drawing and design tools from Intergraph, world leaders in CAD technology.
SmartSketch (the new version of Intergraph's innovative CAD software previously known as Imagineer and Imagination Engineer) features 8,000 pre-drawn symbols and 46 discipline-specific templates that make it easy to create technical diagrams with dimensions driven by Mathcad specifications.
This ensures that designs conform to the standards and parameters you specify.
SmartSketch gives precise control over your drawings and tracks geometric relationships so you can edit without redrawing.
It also offers the ability to read and write files in several popular CAD formats, including AutoCAD and MicroStation.
"Mathcad Premium 2000 provides a seamless connection between the worlds of engineering maths and CAD modelling," said Jack Conaway, senior analyst at IDC. "The bi-directional association between visually represented calculations and CAD models provides a productive and unified environment for design engineers throughout the product development or project lifecycle." The backbone of Mathcad Premium 2000 is Mathcad's patented "live" maths technology that enables engineers, scientists and other technical professionals to explore and perform advanced technical calculation using real-mathematical notation.
Mathcad is self-documenting, allowing results to be easily checked and verified, and it includes a new error tracing tool.
It provides full support for systems of units, and has extensive numeric, symbolic and statistical functionality with IntelliMath technology that helps you reach the right solution quickly. Extensive formatting options mean that you can produce finished reports to conform to corporate style sheets and templates. Workgroup collaboration and document sharing are simplified with effective security features that let you hide any regions of your worksheet that you choose.
Mathcad Premium 2000's suite of engineering tools are fully integrated and work together using the latest Window's automation technology.
Technical users can use the tools together to design, verify and document complete projects seamlessly, then communicate and share their work using Internet or Intranet connections.
