solve & roots with units - Messages
WroteI can it solve in Mathcad - see please mcdx and pdf files
I try solve it (heat transfer) in SMath - see sm file
Help please
SMath symbolic solving of integration is not capable as Mathcad.
Thus integrals can't be used with numeric solvers.
However, you can use a little trick to solve them.
Using maple or maxima plugins is the key.
Here is your problem solved with various ways, roots() and Findroot().

Hi. The attached have an al_nleqsol wrapper for a Mathcad block with units, that can accept SMath's integrals too.

Hello Valery,
In some application(s), you can associate FindRoot with epsilon.

Please help, why can't find root for this simple equation?

roots solves wrt scalar function(s)
In this example, both functions are scalar wrt 'x'.
Try ... roots[(sin(x)-Gamma(x),x,1]
'x not defined' ... Gamma(x) is not scalar wrt 'x'
Few more numerical functions are not scalar
erf(x), erf(x,n) ... erfc(x), erfc(x,n) ...
WroteTry ... roots[(sin(x)-Gamma(x),x,1]
In that case and similar ones,
RootSecant algorithm will spits out 15 decimals, instantaneous.
Cheers ... Jean.

Because there aren't unknows
Thanks Davide.
Now I put "N" as unknown in the Eq. But it can't be solved either.

You have to play a little with the precision, especially if there are units involved; in this case, seems that 10^-3 mm is a stable target (10^-2 works too, but in some case it returns the guess value, meaning that is "close enough" for the algorithm - you can see in the plot that 0kN to 200kN is in +0.02/-0.02mm range)
