Mathcad in Oil and Gas virtual user group

摘要

PTC held a virtual user group/webinar this month on the application of Mathcad in oil and gas. PTC claims that Mathcad is used by most major oils to leverage their intellectual property and to capture engineering 'context and intent,' something that 'cannot be done with either Excel or CAD*.' PTC divides the mathematical/ engineering as follows. Hand-held calculations are OK. for 'one-off engineering problems. Excel is 'pervasive but imperfect'-formulae are hard to read, units of measure are not properly manages and spreadsheets are error prone. Domain-specific programming-based solutions require specialized capabilities and are 'geared to simulation and modeling.'
