MITCalc - Buckling Calculation

MITCalc - Buckling Calculation is an Excel-based tool designed for users who wish to seamlessly make optimum cross calculations and check the strength of slender struts strained for buckling.

Before getting started, make sure that your PC is equipped with Microsoft Excel since it cannot work without this application. The latest edition of MITCalc - Buckling Calculation should have no compatibility issues with Excel 2016, 2013, 2010 and 2007 (we tested it with Excel 2016).

Once you fire it up, you're welcomed by several rows of data that can be reviewed and edited to perform buckling calculations without errors.

Standard details can be added for the project, such as author, file name and notes. The input section focuses on strut (column) mounting, static values if the profile along with material values, as well as buckling calculation and checkup.

For example, when it comes to strut mounting, you can set the type (e.g. B. Clamped - Hinged, F. hinged - Guided) and unit (metric, imperial). As for the material values and static profile values, you can pick the profile type (e.g. T-profile, steel L-profile), dimensions, and column material.

As far as buckling calculation and checkup is concerned, it's possible to edit the actual strut length, axial load, safety coefficient, eccentricity ratio, and other details.

The Excel addin also gives you the possibility to review the tables, configure options (like interface language), check out data and dictionary words.

The only downside that we found with this app is that it has a slow response time to commands (Windows 10 with Excel 2016). It takes a long time to load content after making a selection or editing a row. Other than that, MITCalc - Buckling Calculation comes packed with useful features for those who want to quickly make optimum cross calculations and check the strength of slender struts strained for buckling.
