Solving and Optimization Extension Pack

Extend Mathcad to provide the ultimate in solving power.

The Solving & Optimization Extension Pack delivers the most powerful solving technology available for Mathcad, enabling you to handle even the most complex problems in engineering, finance, operations research and manufacturing. With this comprehensive tool, you get the expanded capabilities required to solve optimization problems, linear and non-linear systems of equations, and linear, quadratic and mixed integer programming problems.

Upon installing the Solving & Optimization Extension Pack, Mathcad’s problem-solving capacity is automatically extended to handle hundreds of additional constraints and variables. In addition, this extension pack includes a variety of pre-made templates, which you can quickly and easily apply to your own work.

With the Solving & Optimization Extension Pack, solve even complex problems with ease.

System Requirements:
Requires Mathcad 2000 Professional or higher and at least 6 MB free hard disk space.

Product Benefits

Extend Mathcad's capabilities with the Solving & Optimization Extension Pack, and enjoy all these benefits:

Greater Speed and Capacity
You'll gain the ability to solve much larger problems than the standard Mathcad Professional solver. If you've run up against the size limits of the standard solver (200 variables for linear systems, 500 for non-linear systems), or need quadratic and mixed-integer programming capabilities, the Solving & Optimization Extension Pack is the ideal solution for you.

More Robust
The Solving & Optimization Extension Pack adds the ultimate solving power to Mathcad, with more optimization routines and quadratic, mixed-integer, and linear programming, and even report generation capabilities. This extension pack is ideal for complex systems. For example, you can handle both the very large and very small values used in financial models, and automatically rescale both linear and non-linear problems.

Fully Compatible
The Solving & Optimization Extension Pack is upwardly compatible with the standard solver found in Mathcad 2001 Professional. Upon installation, the Extension Pack will be invoked each time you use the Mathcad solve blocks. Your existing models can be solved with no changes - faster and easier than ever before.
