SUMMARY

Calculating elliptic integrals (K & E) in Mathcad 15 requires utilizing the general integration function, as there is no dedicated function for these calculations. Users can define elliptic integrals as user functions by referencing general formulae available in MATLAB's help section. For further assistance, the Mathcad user community at PlanetPTC is a valuable resource for specific inquiries related to Mathcad.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Mathcad 15 integration functions
  • Understanding of elliptic integrals and their mathematical significance
  • Basic knowledge of MATLAB for reference to elliptic integral formulae
  • Ability to define user functions in Mathcad
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the general integration function in Mathcad 15
  • Study elliptic integrals K & E and their applications
  • Review MATLAB's help section on elliptic integrals for formulae
  • Join the Mathcad user community at PlanetPTC for collaborative support
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, engineers, and students who need to calculate elliptic integrals using Mathcad, as well as those seeking to enhance their skills in mathematical software integration.

Hi,

I wanted to calculate elliptic integrals (K & E) for a given function in Mathcad. I was not able to find the appropriate function. I am using Mathcad 15.

Regards,

Hi. I just joined, so tag me with n00b.

Full disclosure: I work at PTC, and have contacted one of our programmers to help me with a response here.

Although Mathcad does not have a dedicated function for this, it should be (generally) straight forward to calculate them (or define them as user functions) using the general integration function in Mathcad. One can view the elliptic integration help section in MATLAB to get some general formulae (see attached image).

I hope this helps. For more specific Mathcad-related help (not just on physics, but all areas Mathcad), head over to http://bit.ly/Mathcad-PlanetPTC for a user-driven community.
