Hello!

On January 18 the official announcement of the PTC company about the new PTC Mathcad Gateway software product took place. PTC Mathcad Gateway is a calculation server that provides universal access to calculations at any time, on any device.

Information from the press release (link: PTC Mathcad Gateway | PTC 😞

"PTC Mathcad Gateway is a calculation server that provides universal and secure access to your company’s certified engineering calculations at any time, on any device.  Users quickly access the calculations via a web browser (no special software required) and get results for their specific scenarios without ever having direct access to your IP.

Key features include:

  • IP Protect: Leverage the power of your engineering calculations without unauthorized access or distribution. Your calculations are your competitive differentiators, why leave them outside of your control?
  • Universal Access: Your team is not sitting at a desk 40 hours a week. Allow anybody, anywhere, on any device to run a certified calculation scenario.
  • Certified Calculation Hub:  You’ve spent years refining, testing and approving the calculations in your engineering design process. Now you can standardize on calculation best practices.
  • Timely and Trusted Results: Gone are the days of team members searching for the correct, certified calculations.  Provide just a single point of entry to all of your calculation best practices.
  • Easy Deployment: Use the hardware you already have. PTC Mathcad Gateway deploys right inside your existing infrastructure and can grow with you.


Each web form, developed using Microsoft Visual Studio, leverages a PTC Mathcad worksheet and communicates to the web service over HTTP or HTTPS. PTC Mathcad Gateway is developed as a Microsoft Web Service hosted on IIS, which is a free web server from Microsoft. PTC Mathcad Gateway adheres to your existing security model and authentication methods."

Did Gateway ever get replaced by another service @VladimirN ?

It hasn't, unfortunately.

I manage the Creo and PTC Mathcad YouTube channels for PTC, as well as all PTC Mathcad marketing in general.

Thanks, DJNewman so there is now no way for hosting web worksheets? for external inputs etc 

 

is there any movement or development to give provide any kind of external API source?

 

 

 

 

Not that I'm aware of, unless you rig up something really clever with the existing API. Honestly, I can't really talk intelligently about the full extent of what's possible with the Mathcad API today, but based on your previous posts, you already know way more than I do.

Best (Mathcad Gateway) is the enemy of the good (Mathcad calculation server).
