PTC announced Mathcad 14.0, the latest release of its engineering calculation software. Since its acquisition of Mathsoft in April 2006, PTC has focused on making the broad capabilities of the Mathcad technology more widely available to customers operating across geographic boundaries, PTC said in a statement.

Mathcad 14.0 expands the ability of PTC's customers to solve pressing engineering calculation needs and improves the associated documentation of these calculations throughout the product development process.

Engineering calculations are critical to the process of designing and developing products, which today is often a globally distributed process. With Mathcad 14.0, PTC now provides full Unicode support and will soon offer the product in nine languages. New languages will include Italian, Spanish, Korean, and both Traditional and Simplified Chinese. Expanded language support in Mathcad 14.0 will enable geographically dispersed teams to solve and document calculations in their local language which ultimately improves efficiencies by increasing speed and accuracy as well as reducing potential errors that may occur from language translation.

Mathcad 14.0 also delivers improved calculation power and clarity through new worksheet analysis functions, inline numeric evaluation enhancements, and enhanced symbolics. This will help users to derive formulas, demonstrate process and document engineering reasoning. Specific enhancements to the Mathcad 14.0 mathematic solvers will allow users to solve and document a broader range of engineering design problems.

The integration between Mathcad and Pro/ENGINEER is a bi-directional link between the two applications. Users of these solutions can easily associate any Mathcad file with a Pro/ENGINEER part or assembly using the analysis feature in Pro/ENGINEER.
Mathcad 14.0 is currently available in English.
