How, exactly, does MathCad help you? It's great for demonstrating theory to folks who don't understand it, hence, it's useful, perhaps, for documenting new concepts, but as for simulating real devices, and, particularly, combinations of devices, I've seen it do little that's of use.
Most of my work is related to ultra-precise mechanical systems, my electronics is an add-on. Mathcad lets me model the key equations of systems like air bearings and non-linear fluid dynamics in near-real time, lets me tinker with the maths symbolically or numerically just as if I was working with pen and paper. The graphical and statistical tools are fantastically ueful for reducing large datasets, and extracting data buried in noise. I don't actually have any circuit analysis tools, apart from pen and paper ! Steve |
