Using new Mathcad Client as an authoring tool, Mathcad users can easily deploy and publish new material that reaches a broader technical audience.
Mathcad Client offers organizations new flexibility for sharing of Mathcad-created applications and content.
Using the Mathcad software as an authoring tool, users can easily deploy and publish new material that reaches a broader technical audience.
Some examples of this include: Using Mathcad Client as a standalone interactive viewer for Mathcad documents: Engineers can share their Mathcad-created designs and calculations with anyone who has the Mathcad Client software.
Mathcad and Mathcad Client fully support the MathML standard for both presentation and content of mathematics online.
Embedding Mathcad calculations and content in other applications: Mathcad Client supports popular Mathcad add-ins for Excel, Visio, and AutoCAD, as well as standard OLE embedding and support for other applications.
Mathcad Client can even be used in applications developed in Visual Basic and C++.
Using Mathcad Client as a browser plug-in for Internet Explorer or Netscape to view Web-based live maths content: Users can combine the navigation capabilities of their favourite Web-browser with the maths display and calculation capabilities of Mathcad Client to create a powerful solution for publishing technical material on the Web.
With the addition of Mathcad Client, MathSoft now offers a publishing solution for sharing maths on the Internet and corporate and institutional extranets and intranets.
Ideal for organizations with offices, contractors, and customers in multiple locations, Mathcad Client provides the power to dynamically interact with technical documents and applications, including Mathcad worksheets, electronic books and MathML documents.
With the full Mathcad Professional calculation engine built into Mathcad Client, as well as the support for Mathcad's most popular extension pack functions and add-ins for Excel, AutoCAD, and Visio, engineers and other technical professionals can now offer colleagues and clients the ability to exhange worksheets and ideas dynamically.
Mathcad Client benefits both authors and consumers of technical content.
Authors can share their work with a large audience that may not typically have had access to Mathcad functionality in the past.
Mathcad Client provides consumers with cost-effective access to a wealth of Mathcad technical content available from the Web and in more discrete areas, such as corporate databases and intranets.
Mathcad Client does not provide functionality for creating new Mathcad worksheets.
Instead, it enables users to freely interact with, save and print existing documents with their own annotations.
Mathcad Client automatically restricts changes to the structure of original documents, and authors can add further restrictions to help protect the integrity of their work.
"My work with several of the top automotive companies often requires me to send Mathcad documents directly to my clients.
Many of my contacts at these corporations do not have access to Mathcad," said Thomas Richards, electronics design engineer for Invensys Sensor Systems.
"As a result, I'm forced to either send a fax of my work or wait several days for feedback.
Mathcad Client has the potential to save this wasted time by enabling me to walk my contacts through my Mathcad worksheets interactively, and at minimal cost impact, which is essential in this economy." Through the integration of MathML (Mathematical Mark-up Language), the first XML standard to be approved by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Mathcad Client offers organizations new options for publishing and communicating technical content.
Users can both save worksheets in MathML format as well as read MathML files back into Mathcad Client as active documents.
Mathcad Client is the first tool of its kind to offer bi-directional support for MathML.
In combination with IBM techexplorer? Hypermedia Browser, Mathcad and Mathcad Client are the only tools to fully support both the presentation and calculation standards of MathML.
"Collaboration is an essential part of innovation in any technical organization," said Chris Randles, president and CEO of MathSoft Engineering and Education, "Until now, individuals and organizations were restricted by the technical limitations of the Internet and related technologies for sharing their calculations and mathematics-based designs.
With Mathcad Client, MathSoft is offering unlimited collaboration possibilities through the integration of new, standards-based, cutting-edge technology.".
