PTC Mathcad - Collapsible Areas

[@cadinsider964]

Is there a way to automate the calculations of the reactions force and Moment at the fixed support using Mathcad if the Lengths of the sections are a general. like 1xn, 2xn etc and n is just defined to be a number.

[@PatJHeffernan]

If I understand your question, then absolutely. Just derive equations for the reactions as a function of length and then vary n to get different results.

I can open it with the link so it might be a permissions issue. I reset the permissions so anyone can view (which is what I thought it was set at)... maybe try again?

[@PatJHeffernan]

Well, I obviously appreciate the program. I am not associated with PTC at all,... other than being friendly and having participated in one of their webinars.

I've had challenges with the link. Try this: drive.google.com/file/d/1nVez6GlXBffNjn4W6K2KiAEnqO5NHckX/view?usp=sharing It isn't the most up to date but covers off most. If it works, let me know and I'll scoot through the various videos updating it.
