Hi,

Looking for a little guidance..

I'm an engineer, and use Smath in structural design.

In doing so I often need to compare a calculated capacity to a design load.

Can anyone suggest an elegant method of reporting a "result", being: pass or: fail……?

thanks,

Stu.

One way is to use the conditionally formatted labels extension.

Another is to present your results in table form using the table region.

Hello,

I use most of the time a very simple "if" condition.
No need for plug-ins and very easy to check for any reader.
By using indices you can also create a "table" with all "OK" an "FALSE" results. This can be convenient if you have different load cases with each one or more checks in a large document.
See the attached image.

Hope it is usefull for you!

I am in agreement with CSB.
You can define a simple function to be used as needed

Interesting: that reminds me to instruct Smath about a "Truth table", like Mathcad.

This is how I typically show my utilization/stress ratios.
