We are opening all areas of the ExcelCalcs Repository to everyone for 24 hours on Friday 7th May (from 07:00 GMT). We want to give XLC Ed subscribers a glimpse of what they are missing out on (normally the repository is only open to XLC Pro subscribers). Before the big day take the following action:

• Renew your XLC Ed subscription (if it has lapsed).
• Browse the comments and ratings to bookmark your chosen downloads.
• Check the opening time in your time zone (07:00 GMT).
• Invite your friends to sign up in time for our big giveaway day.

Remember that XLC Ed subscribers will be restricted to 2 downloads in a 24 hour period (XLC Pro subscribers to 10). Avoid Internet Explorer double counting your downloads by making us a trusted site.

Repository News

The ExcelCalcs repository continues to grow and we are delighted to receive calculations from you. Remember we reward calculations with free XLC Pro subscriptions.

EXCsta2010.xls

Static structural analysis of 2D linear elastic frames and trusses. Computes the static deflections, reactions, internal element forces using direct stiffness methods. After a few hicups find out why John Doyle said "This is a fantastic worksheet. Every Engineer should grab a copy". Work has started on a 3D version EXCsta_3D.xlsx perhaps you would like to get involved in its development? Thank you Turan Babacan.
