PTC continues to deliver on the power of the new symbolic engine, and valuable enhancements have also been made to the numeric engine to give users access to more mathematical operations and functionality than ever before.

  • You can now use the Gradient Operator, which returns the gradient of a scalar function with respect to defined variables both numerically and symbolically.
  • The numeric engine has been enhanced with the addition of the PDESolve Function in the Solve Block.
  • We have enabled symbolic solutions for Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). You can now solve first-order ODEs and higher-order ODEs that can be reduced to first-order systems.
  • You can now symbolically solve a system of equations inside a Solve Block using the Find Function.
  • New Logarithmic Integral Functions and Elliptic Integral Functions have been added.
  • Calculus Operators such as derivatives, limits, integrals, and summations used symbolically have been improved and cover expanded use cases.
  • The functionality and use cases for several symbolic Keywords and Functions have been expanded upon. For example, you can use the assume Keyword to specify assumptions about a function’s result.
