Transcript of eSuite 1.0 Beta
GENERAL
What is eSuite© ?eSuite© is a suite (series) of composite structural analysis tools that can be used for structural sizing, parametric studies, etc.The tools are comparable to those used by large aircraft companies and have a modern user friendly interface.The eSuite© tools show intermediate calculations, can be linked together, and allow for user customization.
Do macros need to be enabled?
In Excel 2003, select "Tools/Options", then select the Security tab. Set "Macro Security..." to Medium. Then restart the file and enable macros.
What files are created during the installation? What files are needed to run the main Excel file?A series of files are copied to the destination directory. The main Excel file will not work if these files are not installed.Do not copy the main Excel file to another machine. Instead, run the full installation.
INPUT / OUTPUT
Can I save the main Excel file?
What are the "Read Data" and "Save Data" buttons for?These buttons should be used to export and import data. Formulas entered into input cells (light blue) will be preserved during import/export.
Against the recommendation, I accidently used the "Save" or "Save As" feature. Could this cause a problem?If the only modification was to the input cells, then a problem should not occur. A more effective way of exporting and importing data is to use the "read data" and "save data" buttons on the upper left.If you also unlocked the sheets and made further modifications, then it is likely that a destructive modification occurred.If you are not sure if a detrimental modification may have occurred, simply reinstall the program.
NAVIGATING
How do I navigate?
Then browse the tabs below. Each tool is color coded and has a unique suffix identifier.For example, showing ePlots© will display multiple tabs. The main tool tab is for data input, while the other tabs show carpet plots. Each ePlots© tab has the suffix "B"
What do the "SHOW" and "HIDE actions do?
Macros must be enabled. Click the test button below to determine if macros are enabled. If a message box does not appear, then macros are disabled.
Using the "Save" or "Save As" feature is not recommended, but is allowed.
First, use the "SHOW" action in the navigation menu to the left.
The "SHOW" option performs two actions. Sheets (tabs) related to the tool will be displayed and the main sheet will be selected.
If the "HIDE" action is performed, the main Excel file will display the adjancent tab. In some cases, this tab may not be the main tab of a tool.
USE
How do I use the tools?The input cells are in light blue, while the the output cells are a darker blue.
COMMENTThe comment indicator should be shown in the cell above. If you cannot see the comment when hovering over the cell with the mouse, then comments are turned off. In Excel 2003, turn comments on by selectiong "Tools/Options", select the "View" tab, and Select "Comment Indicator Only"Full technical documentation on each tool is pending. In addition, the book "Practical Stress Analysis of Composite Aerostructures" by Brian Esp will be released in 2012. Most of the tools are fully documented in the planned publication.
How can I link data from one tool to another?First, "Show" the tools you want to link. Then use the native Excel feature "=" to link the data.For example, you can link the elastic properties from eLaminate© to ePlots© .
Some of the tools generate a lot of data. Do I really need all of that information?Unlike other programs, which "bury" the data, this program provides the information to the user.You may not need this extra information, but it is provided in the event that you do. Many advanced users require intermediate data to check results or better understand the final results.
Can I unlock the sheet?
If you still wish to unlock the sheet, the password is "composites".
THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
How do eStability© and ePressure© work?These tools are pre and post processors to the open source finite element solver CalculiX. The CalculiX files were created during installation.
How does eBJSFM© work?eBJSFM© is a pre and post processor to the BJSFM fortran code. Improvements and corrections to the original fortran code have been made.A compiled version of BJSFM was created during installation.
FREE AND PRO VERSIONS
Who can use the FREE version?The free version can be used in a non commercial environment (academic or education) without restriction.
What does the PRO version offer?The pro version must be used in a commercial environment.The pro version removes the restrictions of the free version and adds functionality not demonstrated in the free version.
The "SHOW" and "HIDE" actions are
Most input cells have comments
Yes, but this is not recommended. The main Excel file
The free version may be used in a commerical environment for 30 days,
For example, eCutout© and eBJSFM© can run many load cases in the pro version.
CAPABILITYCan an Excel file have the capability of traditional programs?
Normal use of an Excel is limited in capability. However, by allowing macros to be enabled, the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) becomes available.VBA is a powerful programming language that dramatically increases Excel's capability.The combination of Excel with VBA yields a powerful tool for engineering tasks.
How does this software compare to other software?All programs have different objectives and capabilities.This program aims to implement practical composite analysis tools in a convenient interface. The software is simple enough to use for a beginner, but has the capabiliy required for an advanced user.In addition, the integration with the finite element solver CalculiX, creates an extremely powerful product.
For example, eStability© has the capability to solve curved panels with arbitrary boundary conditions and loading. Transverse shear deformation is accounted for. Most programs fall short of this functionality.The simple user interface, combined with embedded comments, minimizes learning curve.Finally, this software displays intermediate data, as opposed to providing a "black box" solution. This is useful and necessary for advanced structural analysis.This product is designed for structural analysts who desire a highly function product in a convenient user interface. It is NOT a "push button" analysis solution, but rather is a tool suitable for sizing of aircraft.
KNOWN ISSUESWhy do some tools not work properly for international users?
For some languages, the "comma" and "period" may be reversed from the English system. This creates a problem when passing data to third party programs.To solve this problem, you can either change the language or change the Excel options to adjust the comma and period.
After using the "HIDE" action, the menu bar dissapears.Upon using the "HIDE" action, the nearest tab is displayed, which may not be the main tab of a tool. In some cases, the tool sub-tabs does not have a menu bar.To resolve this, select a different tab.
Why do some cells show "#######"?This may occur at certain zoom levels. Change the zoom level or expand the column width. The sheet will need to be unprotected first. The password is "composites".
Why do some graphics/number look strange?This occur as certain zoom levels. Change the zoom level slightly to improve the appearance.
Will this program work on the Mac?If you are using Winows on the Mac, then everything should run normally.If you are using the Mac version of Excel, this program may not be compatible.
COMPATIBILITYWhat version of Excel will this program work on?
Making a program that works on the various versions of Excel can be a challenging task. For example, Excel 2007 did not incorporate some of the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) features that existed in previous versions.This program attempts to only use the most compatible coding and is tested on multiple versions for compatibility.
FUTURE FEATURESWill SI units be supported?
This feature will be supported in the future.
Will OpenOffice be supported?
Support for OpenOffice is not planned.
Are other tools planned?eRadius© A tool to caculate the strength of curved beams is in work. For example, "radius opening" and "radius closing" are common failure modes that should be checked.eBeam© A beam analysis tool is in work.eSandwich© - Sandwich analysis is in work. (PRO edition only)
BETA
What is a Beta Version? Why is this program listed as a Beta?A Beta version is not the final version. The test phase is ongoing and there may be updates and improvements before the final version.
UNINSTALL
How can I uninstall eSuite©?Use the uninstall feature from the control panel or from start menu (if selected during installation).
What files were installed?The only files installed reside in the "C:\eSuite" directory. Additionally, a desktop icon and start menu shortcuts (if selected during installation) were created.
Why does the C:\eSuite directory remain after an uninstall?This occurs because either the user created data files that reside in this directory or eSuite© added temporary analysis files for interface with Calculix and eBJSFM©. You may delete the directory after an uninstall to completely remove the program.
