What is MCS file?
The MCS (.MCS) file extension is the most widely used file format of Mathcad, an engineering software application. Mathcad is a powerful numerical computation, engineering problem-solving, and graphical calculation tool used for creating and documenting engineering calculations. .MCS files are a type of worksheet containing Mathcad calculations, equations, text, and images for projects and problems.

What is XMCD file?
The .XMCD file extension is an abbreviation for Mathcad Worksheet, a product produced by PTC Corporation. Mathcad Worksheet documents are created using PTC's Mathcad software, which is a powerful computer software program used to solve mathematical equations and visualize engineering calculations while providing an environment for creating and manipulating problem displays. The software supports various document formats, including the .XMCD format. [ ⏩ ] XMCD file extension
How to convert the file from MCS to XMCD?
To successfully convert the MCS file to XMCD, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.MCS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case XMCD (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than XMCD).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. MCS to XMCD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting MCS files to XMCD files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension XMCD, while before this step we had the MCS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new XMCD file, or not.
