Mathcad and MathConnex files containing components that require third-party applications to be present are organized in folders named corresponding to the application or type of application required.  “Static” versions of some of these files (with screenshot bitmaps representing the components) appear in the Components in Mathcad section of QuickSheets (part of the Mathcad Resource Center). The corresponding files in the SAMPLES sub-folders provide full-featured versions of these files. Remember:  The application must be installed on your system in order to successfully run the files containing that component.
