About Mapping Names of Variables or Parameters
Mapping of names of PTC Mathcad Prime variables or Creo+ parameters requires special care. Follow these guidelines when you use PTC Mathcad Prime worksheets with Creo+.
• Creo+ does not distinguish between PTC Mathcad Prime variables having the same name but with different display attributes such as bold, italics, or bold italics. In Creo+, the name is always represented in plain text.
• Do not assign a PTC Mathcad Prime variable that contains Greek and other non-Latin characters such as pi, sigma, and so on.
• When you map a PTC Mathcad Prime variable name containing a literal subscript character, the name changes such that the subscript character is included in the name in Creo+. For example, ax changes to ax.
• Creo+ does not support the mapping of PTC Mathcad Prime variables names with superscripts. However, special characters, spaces, and vector or matrix elements are allowed.
• Creo+ supports PTC Mathcad Prime variables names that are alphanumeric, in uppercase or lowercase, and with underscore characters.
• Creo+ supports PTC Mathcad Prime units that have superscript characters. For example, in2.
• Creo+ does not support the mapping of PTC Mathcad Prime variables names that are longer than 32 characters.
• Assign as input only those Math regions that have the definition symbol :, for example, x:=45.78 in , where x is a PTC Mathcad Prime assignment variable and in is the units.
• Do not assign as input a Math region such as y:=x+25.14,x+y:=45.7 newton ,F(a,b):=123.45 cm , or y=<result>.
• Assign as output only those Math regions that have the evaluation symbol =, for example, y=70.92 in, where y is a PTC Mathcad Prime results variable and in is the units.
If your PTC Mathcad Prime variable does not adhere to the Creo+ mapping guidelines, either change the variable or reassign such variables to a new variable with the name adhering to the mapping guidelines.
