TK Solver 4.0: Powerful Equation Solver & Mathematical Modeling - Prof. Mr Burchell, Study notes of Agricultural engineering

North Carolina State University (NCSU)Agricultural engineering
Prof. Mr Burchell

Lecture notes for week 6 of a university engineering course, introducing tk solver 4.0, a rule-based problem solving and mathematical modeling software. The notes cover the software's interface, navigation, units and conversions, tables and plots, mathlook, and built-in functions. Students are encouraged to watch videos and practice using the software in lab.

More on the interface (20 minutes) –navigation around the model:

TK Navigation Bar – Recommend keep it in view at all times

  • Where all of the information for your model is managed
  • Tabs o Sheets - + sign indicates data held in that sheet o Applications – mainly add-ins o Wizards – programs written in visual basic to save time and perform a variety of tasks

Status bar - Bottom of the sheet

  • Left - Lets you know what sheet you are on and where
  • Right – Status on solving (F9 or OK), memory, clock etc.

MathLook – In navigation bar list

  • Allows you to view equations in rules sheet, cut and paste plots, pictures, data, etc.
  • Need to cut and paste into this view

A few TIPS

  • Don’t maximize windows – you lose interactivity. Best to keep Rules, Variables, and Navigation Bar all up at same time
    • Cascade windows good practice
  • #1 piece of confusion for new users. Cannot leave a sheet before finishing editing. If the cursor is still blinking you need to hit ENTER to move away from that sheet or to some of the toolbars
    • You must clear entries completely by using SPACE BAR then ENTER to remove a unit or input (they call it “blanking the entry)
  • Comments can be entered using ;

In lab – we will enter some equations in and let you see how this all works
