Your sheets stay yours, and stop living on their own
The sheet lives inside the project, can read an element's properties from the model, and goes straight into the calculation report. When a check fails, it says so instead of going quiet.
Example, in the sheet's grid view: someone types 615 cm into the V3 span L. The field converts it to 6.15 m, the moment recomputes to 188.2 kN·m, the deflection to 15.2 mm, and the deflection check starts failing, above the 13.9 mm limit. The sheet says so.
The grid an engineer already knows, and what it works out on its own
Building and filling in happen on the same grid, with the shortcuts you expect. What changes is what it understands without being told.
- =SU…
Functions show up as you type
The list opens on the first character, and inside the brackets the signature marks the argument you are on.
- = B4 · B8² / 8
Every reference in its own colour
The same colour in the formula bar and on the cell border. Dragging the border swaps the reference.
- Ctrl + V
Paste from Excel as it is
A range copied in Excel goes into the grid cell by cell, and what you copy here goes back over there.
- 30 cm → 0.30 m
The field understands the unit
Comma or point, a ready-made sum such as 3*4.5, or a value with a unit, converted into the cell's own. A unit that does not match does not go in.
- M = 20 kN·m → L = ?
Goal seek
Say the result you want and the input that may vary; the sheet finds the value and only saves it when you apply.
- 39.8 · 6.15² / 8
The arithmetic with the numbers in place
In the Inspector view, the formula shows in symbols and again with the numbers, so it can be checked without opening the cell.
It comes in, binds to the project, and carries on
Upload the .xlsx as it is: the chosen tab arrives with formulas and formatting, and the results are recomputed here. Inputs can start reading the model, a code table or another sheet, and the result goes straight into the calculation report.
