I have found the need to graph the torque of an engine compared to the crank angle ie, torque vs. angle graph. I have been unable to figure out how make the torque equation be the y axis. I think having that ability is necessary component for software like this. I am very happy with this software but it needs to be able to have the same graphing capabilities as mathcad to be a replacement for mathcad.
thanks and i look forward to hearing a responce!

I cannot post the code becuase I am out of the office today. However, the question is, does smath have the ability to have a user defined function for both axes of a 2d graph. For example, I want to have the x-axis (crank angle) start at 0 and go until some maximum value (which i noticed someone else has mentioned in this forum) and on the y axis be the function I created that is dependent on the x-axis.

x-axis is a range of values x=1,2..360
y-axis is a function of x y=f(x)

This could work. But What is the point of having the subscripts of x1 and x2 under the M. That may be a dumb question but i am new to this software. And I would have thought to type Mx2 in plot. why wouldn't you? You had just put M.

I have tried this graphing function but i failed many times so please have a look :

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

plot x(t) = 10cos((pi*t)-(pi/4))

2. Relevant equations

pi/4 is the shift to the right

10 is the amplitude of the graph

pi is the radian frequency

3. The attempt at a solution

so i got the amplitude and shift to the right by pi/4 part but as for the radian frequency, my plot doesnt seem right. does pi mean that one cos wave occurs in a pi interval? thanks in advance
