Spreadsheets provide an alternative method to the graphic input described in earlier chapters.  You may combine both methods to create a model quickly.

 

The spreadsheets support the common clipboard actions such as “CTRL+X” to cut, “CTRL+C” to copy and “CTRL+V” to paste data.  You may even share data between the spreadsheets in the ENERCALC 3D and other spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel.  For example, you may generate node data in an Excel spreadsheet, copy the nodal coordinate data and paste to the Nodes spreadsheet in the program.  In this way, you can take advantage of the more powerful data manipulation functions in the Excel.

 

In each spreadsheet, you may add one or more rows by clicking the “New Row” button.  You may also print data in the spreadsheet by clicking the “Print” button.  You have the option to view only the selected data.  To do that, click Tables > Show Data for Selected Entities Only.  You may not modify the data in the spreadsheet when this option is chosen.
