When using units, I work in 2d math using Worksheet mode. This gives you

• the structure of input prompts
• the 2d math
• and the ability to use CTRL+Shift+U to enter units  (I find this quicker than using the mouse to choose units from the Units palette, and you don't see the Unit() syntax in your equations)

Load with(Units[Simple]) before you do any units calculations. The result of 10.0*Unit('ft')+6.0*Unit('inch') will automatically be converted to meters

Right click on the result and select "Units Formatting". In the dialog that pops up, enter ft^2 in "Custom Unit"

Mathcad has an elegant and simple implementation of units. I find that Mathcad users come to Maple with the same expectation of units.

We're working on a long term plan to bring make units handling more intuitive, and more deeply ingrained into the system. The first step was the introduction of the Units[Simple] package last year. Expect to see more changes with the next release.

@Markiyan Hirnyk Your screen shows shows "Adult literacy rate, population 15+ years, gender parity index (GPI)"

The application uses "Adult literacy rate, population 15+ years, both sexes (%)" for the year 2015. As the title of the application here states, only subsaharan african countries are plotted (as such, Egypt is not plotted)

@Markiyan Hirnyk The data comes from http://data.uis.unesco.org/Index.aspx?queryid=166. Specifically, it's the adult literacy rate for both sexes, ages 15+. The complete application is here

@Ramakrishnan The Organic Rankine Cycle application can be found here (and it's in the Application Gallery in Maple 2017). All the code is in the startup code region. In the application

• the flowchart is an image (that is, an image file created in another tool and placed on the plot with the background option)
• the text and numbers on the plot are textplots.

If you want box color to vary with the value of a variable, you'll need to construct the flowchart (i.e the boxes and the arrows) using plottools. Perhaps something like this

@Markiyan Hirnyk We already know :)

Please send one of your Mathcad worksheets to us at support@maplesoft.com (mark it for my attention)

I'll let you know if we think Maple is a viable alternative.

@mclaine Could you please email a typical Mathcad worksheet to support@maplesoft.com (marked for my attention). I'd like to take a closer look, and perhaps provide a few recommendations. The technical context always matters

Mathcad will discard angle units in numeric output...

Maple will not, unless you specifically ask it to (with convert(B,unit_free))

If you're thinking about switching from Mathcad to Maple, I would not concentrate on directly reproducing your Mathcad units experience in Maple. The underlying implementation is too different.

Are you doing antenna design? I'm guessing from your previous questions and comments about units, scientific constants, and phasors.

@mclaine I used to work for a Mathcad reseller in tech support, so I know both products well.

Are you attemping to convert an existing Mathcad worksheet to Maple? If so, can you share the Mathcad worksheet? That would help us understand the context of your issue.

@Christopher2222 Here's a rough cut of an analysis.

@Pieter 

This MapleSim model contains a Modelica custom component that reads the CoolProp DLL. You'll need to change the path in the code to point to the location of the DLL on your computer.

• Those techniques are not appropriate for the typical home user (e.g. ISPs that block port 25, Windows OS etc)
• MailGun works also on the MapleCloud. I have Cloud applications that email results to the user (after the user has entered their email in a text area). Let me know if you want access.
