ExcelCalcs Lego-Like Way to Engineering

Like a child selecting parts to construct a Lego model engineers bring together blocks of science to create new designs. These building blocks could be a load calculation, a beam calculation, a weld calculation, a fatigue calculation or any other calculation from a myriad of engineering topics. As...

iPhone, Android and Mobile Device Access

The site is optimised for browsing on mobile devices like the iPhone or Android phones. To create a web app icon browse to http://www.excelcalcs.com/navigate/ and ‘Add to Home Screen’. You will find an icon much like an app icon on your home screen which will bring you straight back...

ExcelCalcs Trailblazers

I have been chasing up feedback from new users signing up to XLC Pro accounts in the last month. I am delighted with their positive feedback. “I started using XLC but I am now insisting that my whole team use the add-in .“ “It is a great tool for validation and pres...

Increasing Engineering Confidence

Engineering training - “I run a team of engineers and whilst there are plenty of soft options for training expounding the latest management techniques there is precious little to develop the engineering skills of my team”. This is a familiar story we hear from clients of our trai...

Join our Corporate Partners Scheme

You are probably familiar with our tools of mass knowledge distribution on our website but ExcelCalcs also works more closely with corporate partners providing engineering training and engineering consultancy services. What’s more these services and ExcelCalcs subscriptions are availa...

Introducing ExcelCalcs eFormulas

ExcelCalcs eFormulas aims to replace traditional engineering formula books providing innovative functionality to copy from our webpages and paste directly into Excel. Once in Excel it is easily edited to suit your own problems this functionality is far more flexible than 'stuck on the web'&n...

Deciphering Spreadsheets with XLC

At some time or other you will have been given someone else’s spreadsheet only to be left scratching your head not having a clue as to what the calculation is doing.  If you are wise you will not use it because you can’t understand it. If you are wiser still you’ll use our...

Make Amazing Calculations

In our good calculation guide we emphasise the importance of sketches in calculations but you can produce interactive 3D wireframe sketches by incorporating Turan Babacan’s latest upload. Turan uses 3D charts to great effect in his Excel FEM programs. Andy Pope also has a 3D chart spr...

Coming Soon XLC Ribbon

A new version of XLC is in the final stages of development which will be compatible with the 64 bit version of Excel 2010 (currently it works with the 32 bit version of Excel 2010, 2007 2003 and 2000). We’ll keep you posted with progress. Please send us details of any features you ...

The Good Calculation Guide

We get to see lots of calculations here at the ExcelCalcs website and we have tried to distill the top ten elements of a good calculation and put them in this guide. You read about it here or you can watch it on YouTube. I hope it is useful to you all.

Training for Engineers

Our unique approach to engineering training is becoming increasingly popular for in-house training:

  • We focus on learning engineering principles by reducing complex mathematics to simple calculations and charts in Excel workbooks.
  • All calculation methods are transparent and easily readable using our XLC Excel Add-in software.
  • We offer continued access to site resources and course leader after the course has finished.

See our existing courses or ask us to develop a bespoke course for your organisation. We have just completed developing a 2 day course called "Fatigue of Welded Structures" outlined in a YouTube video. We already have some provisional dates lined up for the US. Please contact John Doyle if you are interested in the course.

Repository News

You can see many elements from the good calculation guide in the latest offerings in the Repository. The ever dependable Alex Tomanovich has produced two new calculations and updated six others. docapri is building quite a collection on the site too. From down under InfoJunkie65 adds to his impressive collection of Excel tools for engineers. azulu makes his debut calculation - we are always especially pleased to welcome new authors. sumnerdave keeps us up to speed with decked roofing design. We learned a lot about the limitations of Matricies in Excel 2003 compared to Excel 2007 and 2010 when BABACAN responded to a user comment. His ExcelFEM now works in Excel 2003. He also shares a useful tip showing the advantage of saving files as xlsb files rather than xlsxJohnDoyle tells us how to use ASME to generate stress strain curves for use in non-linear finite element analysis and how to assess cracks against fast fracture and fatigue growth. All the calculations published since the last news letter are shown below.
