Mathcad Calculation Server

Secure "Anytime, Anywhere" Access to Mathcad Content

The Mathcad Calculation Server, formerly known as Mathcad Application Server, lets companies create and distribute fully interactive Mathcad worksheets on the Internet and intranets.

Because the Mathcad Calculation Server is a Web-based application, Mathcad worksheets can be distributed to a broad audience-including contractors, consultants, partners or clients-with minimal effort and low IT management. Design engineers can easily create Mathcad content for Web deployment without needing any knowledge of HTML or other Web-based programming languages. Likewise, their audience (whether high-level decision makers or field engineers) can read and interact with the materials without needing to download any special plug-in.

Capabilities

• Leverage support for all built-in math functionality-including graphical output of results-for the creation of Mathcad-based Web pages.
• View and interact with Mathcad documents through HTML form fields-knowledge of Mathcad or installation of Mathcad on client systems is not required.
• Recalculate Mathcad worksheets with different parameters and obtain new results on the Web page immediately.

Benefits

• Deploy and distribute interactive Mathcad documents across an entire company, university, extranet or public Web site for widespread but protected use.
• Little to no experience with Mathcad Enterprise is required for end-user interaction with the Mathcad Calculation Server. The only knowledge required is a basic understanding of how to use a Web browser and form field elements, such as text boxes, list boxes and buttons.
• With minimal system requirements on client machines, this software server-based solution eliminates the overhead of maintaining many desktop systems.
• No experience with server-side scripting or HTML coding is required to generate and deploy complex Web-based math applications.
• IT managers and administrators have full control over security and access because the Mathcad Calculation Server is built on top of Internet Information Services (IIS).
