    ExcelFEM - 2D (For Excel 2003)

    Uploaded by

    ssheafi
    This document describes a static structural analysis tool for 2D linear elastic frames and trusses in Excel. It uses direct stiffness methods to compute deflections, reactions, and internal element forces. While originally developed for Excel 2003, an updated version works with Excel 2007 and later by addressing earlier limitations. The tool allows users to input node coordinates, restraints, member properties, loads, and other parameters, and calculates support reactions, diagrams, deflections, and member 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.
