ExcelFEM will solve any beam problem or any frame problem and is possibly the most versatile and useful spreadsheet for engineers on the whole website. It is the work of Excel guru Turan Babacan. The menu driven spreadsheet is extremely simple to use. Start by positioning points in space (nodes) and then define beams (elements) between a start node and an end node. Add supports and load up using any combination of point loads and moments. Excel will calculate the resulting support loads, member loads and deflections instantly and display them on a 3D Chart.

ExcelFEM comes in Excel specific versions because Excel 2003 has limitations in terms of its sheet size and matrix inversion function. Excel 2007 and Excel 2010 can handle much larger problems than Excel 2003.
ExcelFEM xlsb version (for Excel 2007 & Excel 2010). File version 1.0.
ExcelFEM xls version for Excel 2003. File version 1.5.

For simple 2D problems the following versions can be used:
ExcelFEM 2D xlsb version for Excel 2007 & Excel 2010. File version 1.0.
ExcelFEM 2D xls version for Excel 2003. File version 1.2.

“Without doubt this is the best beam FE software I have ever used and to think it is all done in Excel without VBA is amazing. The design and layout of the sheet itself shows all the signs of an Excel Genius. Well done Turan.” John Doyle ExcelCalcs Creator.
