ExcelFEM - 2D (For Excel 2003)

This document describes a static structural analysis tool for 2D linear elastic frames and trusses in Excel that calculates deflections, reactions, and internal element forces using direct stiffness methods. While the original version worked with Excel 2003, a newer version has been created that works with Excel 2007 and later to avoid limitations of older versions. The tool allows users to input node coordinates, member properties, loads, and other parameters and calculates support reactions, diagrams, displacements, and forces.

Static structural analysis of 2D linear elastic frames and trusses.

Computes the static deflections, reactions, internal


element forces using direct stiffness methods.

This version works with Excel 2003 but is no longer being maintained. Excel 2003 has limitations in terms of sheet
size and matrix inversion functions. The latest version of this file works with Excel 2007 and later and is being
maintained.
