As a mechanical engineer I am not too familiar with the calculation method but the calculation works fine for me even when I change units. I see above that the calculation requires the XLC addin to be installed and perhaps this lies at the root of your problem (see FAQ). I imagine you will get the same formula errors any time your sheet recalculates. I hope this comment is helpful.

The program does not work... When I change to US units and enter the data the results come up with ? marks and no solutions.
