Frame Excel Analysis

3D Frame Analysis
Analysis of a 3D frame subject to distributed loads, point loads and moments

Principal Axes
Beam principal axes are defined in the same way as in the FEA program Strand7:
i3 is the unit vector directed from Node 1 to Node 2.
i2 is the unit vector arising from i2 = Z i3 where Z is the unit vector in the global Z direction
i1 completes the right-handed system such that i1 i2 = i3
This procedure in effect creates the i2 Axis parallel to the XY plane, and the i1 Axis in the plane parallel to the Z axis
i.e. the Z axis is in effect defined as the vertical axis in the model, and the XY plane is horizontal.
If the i3 axis is parallel to the Z axis then the i2 axis is parallel to the Y axis in the positive direction.
Beam principal axes may be rotated about the i3 axis by an angle specified in the beam connections range.
Positive rotation is clockwise when looking in the positive i3 direction.
Units
Any consistent units may be used.
Solvers
Three alternative solvers are available from the dropdown box on the "Output" sheet:
The Alglib Sparse Solver is by far the fastest, but may not converge for some problems.
The compiled solver is recommended for cases where the sparse solver does not perform well.
The VBA solver is provided for cases where the necessary dll files for the compiled and sparse solvers are n
For instructions on installing the dll file see:
http://newtonexcelbach.wordpress.com/2012/11/16/frame4-now-with-added-alglib/
End Releases
Beam end may be released for translation or rotation. Note all end releases are relative to the global
Truss members transmitting axial load only may be defined by setting I1, I2 and J to zero.
Output
Clicking the "Recalculate" button generates node results (deflections and reactions) and forces and deflections at be
Beam results relative to beam principal axes are generated by clicking the "Recalculate beam results" button.
Intermediate results may be generated for any number of points.
After generating beam results, results for selected beams may be plotted on the Plot Beam" sheet.

Applied Loads
For distributed loads specify length from the ends of the start and end of the load, and the load intensity at the star
For Point loads and moments specify the position and magnitude
Positions and load lengths are measured along the beam axis.
Distributed and point load direction is either "X", "Y" or "Z", relative to the global axes
