Variables and Regions

Abstract

Variables are one of the most important features of PTC Mathcad. As in algebra, variables define constants and create relationships. A PTC Mathcad worksheet will be full of variables. It is therefore important to quickly gain a solid foundation in their use.

Variables and regions are an important part of technical calculations in PTC Mathcad. Learning how to use them effectively will make it much easier to create scientific and engineering calculations. Knowing how to format text regions can also make your calculation worksheets look better and be easier to follow.
