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...

XLC brings Mathcad Functionality to Excel

I have just been involved in a discussion about the relative merits of Excel vs. Mathcad for engineers. Mathcad set out 5 advantages over Excel and I am afraid I contest them all. Excel is not the accountant’s tool Mathcad would have you believe – it is simply the most effective way for engineers to produce and distribute mathematical information.

Advantage over Excel Clamed by Mathcad  Counter claim showing that Excel is a better for engineers than Mathcad.
Clarity of notation (readability)  XLC produces mathematical equations automatically from cell formulas.
Clarity of dependencies (verification)  Again XLC covers this one and what's better than Excel's formula auditing tools with its ability to trace precedents and trace dependents.
Unit analysis (error checking)  This is generally trivial and easily handled by our XLC template.
Breadth of calculation tools (completeness)  I have yet to find problem that Excel cannot readily solve. There is an abundance of add-ins for additional mathematical functions and a myriad solved problems that can be downloaded as Excel files from the ExcelCalcs Repository.
Engineering-appropriate graphs, image analysis, matrix analysis, and data support  Excel charts are highly customisable and easy to use. Excel makes a fine job of matrix algebra and with regard to data support what's better than Excel?
Excel is for engineers

The main reason to use Excel is that everyone has it already so you can send it to anyone and it will be familiar and easily understood. Excel is the common currency for mathematical data for engineers. So if you are thinking about buying or upgrading Mathcad save yourself some money and sign up at www.ExcelCalcs.com where our XLC software will bring Mathcad functionality to the world’s favourite maths software, namely Excel.
