MathCAD - separation of real and imaginary parts of a complex variable

[garytse86]

Hi guys, just wondering whether you could help. I've got a complex number in terms of a lot of variables, and need to separate it into its real and imaginary parts. How do I do that? I spent past hour trying to look for tutorials, unfortunately none tells you how to do it...

Doesn't MacthCad have the Re() and Im() functions?

yeah but it doesn't work to separate out the components...
