In today’s complex engineering landscape, even small calculation errors can lead to significant setbacks. This article summarises our recent webinar that explained how you can streamline your engineering calculations and boost accuracy across projects by minimising errors, ultimately reducing costs and saving valuable time.
To kick things off Bhumi Taneja, Engineering Solutions Manager provides a brief overview of what we do at LEAP, before discussing the common pain points in engineering math, from repetitive calculations to complex equation management.
Many engineering problems involve complex and multiple variables that are difficult to manage manually or with basic tools such as spreadsheets. Furthermore, engineers often need to iterate multiple design options to find the best solution. This can become time-consuming, especially when recalculating by hand.
Finally, many engineering calculations need to interact with other tools or software (CAD models, simulation tools, etc.), but the lack of integration can lead to data silos or errors. Integrated software platforms that work across engineering tools ensure that data flows seamlessly, minimising errors and inefficiencies. Watch the clip below to learn more.
Next Bhumi explains how PTC Mathcad helps to improve accuracy, reduce calculation time and improve workflow efficiency. Mathcad is software designed specifically for engineering mathematics, operating as a digital engineering notebook with a powerful math engine used to solve, document, share, and re-use complex calculations.
Watch the clip below for a deep dive into Mathcad’s capabilities.
Finally Bhumi gives a live demonstration of Mathcad in action, going over the interface before walking through the report template. She then goes on to demonstrate several of the key features discussed above including working through a direct calculation and an example worksheet.

We trust you found this article informative and can see the huge benefits that can be realised by using Mathcad for your engineering calculations, especially when sharing calculations amongst busy and diverse engineering teams. At LEAP, we now also see our customers utilising Mathcad in more complex team workflows that extend into detailed 3D physics-based simulations (with key inputs and sizing parameters originating in Mathcad sheets – contact us to learn more!).
