Welcome to the xlFrame wiki!

Introduction

This project gives you the ability to perform 2D structural analysis on frame, truss, and beam structures using Visual Basic for Applications within Microsoft Excel. xlFrame uses the direct stiffness method to analyze structures.

xlFrame allows for quick development of structural engineering spreadsheets that solve indeterminate structures. It was developed by a licensed professional structural engineer.

xlFrame has been tested against many textbook problems, and the code has been reviewed several times to debug and simplify it. It is generally very robust and believed to be correct. That said, there are no guarantees with any software and there could still be hidden bugs. It is provided "As-is".

Help Wanted

If you are capable and interested in making a contribution, I am looking for more contributors to join this project. It has taken years to learn how to bring it to this point, and I am open-sourcing it to get help with maintaining and improving it going forward.
