About PTC Mathcad Prime and Creo Parametric Integration
You can use PTC Mathcad Prime to perform calculations for your Creo Parametric model designs. To define the flow of data between PTC Mathcad Prime and Creo Parametric, designate input and output regions in your worksheet. Define the data coming from Creo Parametric as input regions, and define the data going to Creo Parametric as output regions. An input region is a math region that contains a definition, such as A:=12.
You can use a table to define multiple inputs simultaneously, as follows:
When you designate an input region, all variables defined by this region are considered worksheet inputs.
You cannot designate function definitions as input regions.
An output region is a math region that contains a result, for example A=12. You can designate a single region as both an input and output region, if it has both a definition and an evaluation: A:=12=12.
PTC Mathcad Prime assigns input and output regions with an alias that uniquely identifies them. If you use the same variable name more than once in your worksheet, you get a different alias for each instance that is designated as an input or output region, as follows:
Definition
Input
Alias
A:=3
A
Var1
A:=4
A
Var2
A:=5
A
Var3
You can edit the alias and use underscores, letters, and numbers. You must use unique aliases for each input and output region.
When you copy and paste an input or output region, the pasted region becomes a new input or output region.
