Three VBA modules are defined. The modules define functions that can be used to obtain material properties, laminate properties, or laminate load response. These modules define functions that return results that are generally presented as 1D or 2D arrays, and can be used directly in excel spreadsheets with the appropriate arguments passed as selections of cells. The user should look at the VBA code to understand the different functions.
TIP: to enter a formula that returns a matricial function into an excel spreadsheet, select the target cell, enter the name of the function with the appropriate arguments and press “MAJ+ENTER” simultaneously.
