Intuitive formulas
Write standard mathematical notation with live results — no syntax confusion like Excel.
Mathcad Prime — Professional Engineering Calculations
Mathcad Prime is PTC's engineering calculation software — combining live mathematical formulas with text, graphs, and units to produce verifiable, reusable calculation documents.
A replacement for Excel in engineering calculations
Mathcad records formulas in standard mathematical notation (not code) and calculates instantly — suited to mechanical, structural, electrical, and chemical engineers.
Integrated with Creo and Windchill, calculations can be linked to CAD and stored in the PLM as an engineering artifact.

Frequently asked questions
Can it replace MATLAB?
Mathcad excels at engineering calculations with documentation context. MATLAB excels at complex scripting/numerical simulation. They complement rather than replace each other.
Can files be shared?
Yes. .mcdx files can be shared with other Mathcad users, or exported as PDF for people without a license.
