> small user base - insufficient usage "churn" to pick up on problems > hard coded parameters - little time bombs waiting for for some unsuspecting user to trip over them > spaghetti code - difficult to maintain, and even more difficult to re-write Large codebases suffer from a number of potential issues that can make life miserable for users:

#Sp3d piping mp4#
They didn't break much, but that was because they did babysteps, and there's no expectation that even MP4 will have all the functionality that M15 had back in 2011. PTC purchased Mathsoft somewhere in the v13 timeframe, and they decided to do a massive re-write as well after M15, which became Mathcad Prime 1. So, on version 12, they made a massive code re-write that was quite disastrous, and it took until M15 to rein in all the things that broke.
#Sp3d piping Patch#
Mathsoft, the originator, was always a small company, and over the years, they were able to patch and paste additional functionalities and keep up with ALL the changes in DOS and Windows, but by the 2002 M11 timeframe, there were gobs of legacy code and tons of unfixable problems. My math program of choice is Mathcad, which I've used since Mathcad 3.1 on DOS. While Microsoft can migrate and change its Office suite willy-nilly with few problems, smaller companies that supply engineering software are in a different boat. I don't necessarily think that the software discussed is "complicated." What may be "complicated" is the source code and maintenance thereof. RE: Just how complicated is SmartPlant 3D? Gator (Industrial) 7 Apr 16 15:12 I would be interested to hear other people's slant on SP3D. Is SP3D really that complicated and unwieldy? If so, what makes it such a desirable package? I run some pretty powerful FEA programs so I get with much power comes higher levels of complexity but I don't get why SP3D is so popular when you have to jump through all these hoops. I'm always hearing tales of woe like this and stories of why they can't do this or that or how difficult something is going to be. We've got one guy who has two computers because his SP3D workstation won't run email or something (I forget exactly).
#Sp3d piping upgrade#
The latest thing I heard about is we were going to upgrade everyone to Office 2013 but the SP3D guys spoke up and said that have to use Office 2010 otherwise their SP3D reports get all goofed up. I'm not a designer, but I hear them talking about how difficult things are quite often. I'm kind of curious about the level of difficulty of SmartPlant 3D.
