This value must be an integer error in for loop

Hello,

I am using mathcad prime 10.0 and have created a program to solve for F_rated. I then want reference this program in a for loop, however it says the inputs to the function must be integers. Outside the for loop the equation works fine so I am a bit confused.

Here is a screen shot if that is helpful.

Hi,

Mathcad Prime is unable to distinguish between function Frated and variable Frated.

Simple change the name of the function.

Cheers

Terry

Hi,

On the side,

Matrix indices start at zero bty default and your loops for "i" and "j" start at 1 which gives a row and column of zeros in matrix F.

In menu Calculation | Worksheet Options | Origin you can set the first index to 1.

Cheers
