The phase portrait of the second and higher order differential equations presents in graphical form the behavior of the solution set without solving the equation. In this way, the stability of a dynamic system and its long-time behavior can be studied. The article explores the capabilities of Mathcad for analysis of systems by the phase plane method. A sequence of actions using Mathcad's operators to build phase portrait and phase trace analysis is proposed. An example is given by a differential equation of the second order. The approach is also applicable to systems of higher order.
