1. Welcome

2. The lost works of Leonardo da Vinci

3. Imagine how much longer it would have taken
Did not feel that unfinished paintings, sketches and drawings were worth
saving for the future
Sketches and drawings were used as reference by the pioneers of mechanical
flight
The “design cycle” from rough sketch to the first successful flight was over 300
years
Imagine how much longer it would have taken
without this invaluable reference source?!!

4. How companies lose without Mathcad
How does this program work?
Where did the concepts come from?
What assumptions does it make?
How did they get this graph?
I want to change it, but
I’m afraid I’ll ruin it!…
Sketches a
plan for
Calculation…
Knowledge,
methods and
dependencies
get tossed!
Joe Engineer
…then writes program
…runs program to
generate result

5. How many great ideas get tossed in the trash at your company?

Industry standard
100% Windows based,
Integrates with existing applications & infrastructure

15. Improve creativity and increase exploration
“No sane person would happily manipulate equations that are 10 pages wide. Mathcad allows us to develop concepts and do explorations that would be too painful to otherwise consider.”
-Tom Kotowski, Delphi Electronics

16. Leave a roadmap for the future…
"I can put in the standard specification, and where it's located. If somebody has a question about it, they can go back and look where I got it from and see how the formulas were calculated. In ten or fifteen years, when somebody comes back and sees a design, they can immediately go back to the notations." Levi Hillmer,
South Dakota, Dept. of Transporation

17. Who Uses Mathcad? Mathcad – The Worldwide Standard

18. Worldwide Standard

19. Summary
In today’s highly competitive, fast paced, global marketplace companies must
capture the creative and rational decisions at every level of the design process.
To do this manufacturing companies must find:
Engineering tools that are created specifically for the task
Find software that is both user friendly and powerful
Capture project decisions
Software that not only gets the job done but encourages creative thinking
Ability to capture, easily find and reuse data
Inexpensive enough to place on every technical desktop

20. Learn from the past. Reuse your assets,
don’t lose them!
