INPUT
t = 40 mm
b1 = 120 mm
b3 = 160.0 mm
h = 200.0 mm
RESULT
y-coordinate centroid dy1 = t/2 = 20 mm
dy2 = h/2 = 100 mm
dy3 = h-t/2 = 180 mm
INTRODUCTION
1. This template provides necessary macros to build up engineering calculations for quick
2. Key functions:
- set up formulae
- page setup
HOW TO USE
[0] Save this file first with another appropriate name. Ensure this file is put in the same
[1] Use the styles as in sheet 'sample' to fill in title, logo, etc.
[2] Define variables, equations, units. Make sure not to use cell locations as variable names!
[3] Use macro 'formatted' to calculate the defined formulae. Bring up a list of macro by
SHEET STRUCTURE
Ranges:
Column A: section descriptions
Column B: variable/formula description
Column C: variable name, to be referenced in formulae
Column D, F: equal sign
Column E: formulae
Column G: variable values or formula results
