Image Invest some time in training and the ExcelCalcs creator, John Doyle, will show you how to get the best out of Excel. He has been using spreadsheets to solve engineering problems for over 25 years (anyone remember ‘VisiCalc’?). John believes that producing calculations using Excel is the best way to fully understand a problem and the optimum way to devise the best solutions. Training is relevant to design engineers, engineering analysts and managers. ExcelCalcs are currently offering their best ever on-site training and subscription deals but you need to register your interest before 31st December 2009 to take advantage.

Motion Along a Defined Path

A new repository upload provides a general solution for a many motion problems and it is very easy to customise. Typical applications include:

  • Calculate velocity and accelerations acting on a rollercoaster.
  • Calculate cornering accelerations of a car moving along a  twisting road.
  • Calculate stopping distances.
