(isothermtech.com) Functions (Built-In) • Excel has many useful built-in functions under a variety of categories • These functions can be invoked from the worksheet side by y selecting a cell and clicking the “fx” icon or “Insert-Function…” from the th menu b bar • Many functions also exist on the VBA side, although th syntax may lth h the t be different (check the Source: “Help - Microsoft Excel Help - Table of Contents - Working with Data - Function Reference” VBA help menu) TIP: Worksheet side functions can be accessed in VBA by using the syntax: “VBAvariable = Application.WorksheetFunction.FunctionName(Arg1, Arg2,….)” © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 9

(isothermtech.com) Graphics • Objects can be placed anywhere on the sheet • Fill patterns & colors can be added from the Drawing toolbar • When an object is selected, editing circles appear around the object and can be used to size, rotate, or otherwise edit the object th i dit th bj t • “Connectors” can be added j that will follow the objects wherever they move TIP: To prevent a graphic from being changed when cells are re-sized, right click on the graphic, select “Format Autoshape…”, select the “Properties” tab, and select “Don’t move or size with cells” © 2009 Matthew E.

(isothermtech.com) Object Structure • Excel uses an object oriented structure • Objects can have a collection of sub-objects ll i f b bj (e.g. Workbook- Worksheets-Range) g ) • Properties define the characteristics of an object (e.g. Value) (e g • Methods are member functions of the application object (e.g. li ti bj t ( Activate) • Events are actions that can be taken on an object (e.g. Open) © 2009 Matthew E. Moran Source: Excel Help (VBA) 14

(isothermtech.com) Object Oriented Programming • Virtually any “object” in the object Excel environment can have its properties accessed and its methods executed using the VBA Editor – In the properties window – With a sub procedure • Properties can be read into a variable by setting the property equal to the variable name • Some properties can be written to by setting the property equal to a value or variable NOTE: The scope of this course allows only a • Select “View-Object Browser” limited introduction to this extensive topic. and choose “Application” Application Programming methods most applicable to under Classes to see the engineering models will be the primary focus. many objects that can be © 2009 Matthew E.

(isothermtech.com) Putting Excel & VBA Together Guidelines for integrating Excel & VBA in thermal & fluid fl id systems models: t d l • Use Excel as the interface between the model and the user – Input & output management – Decompose subsystems and/or components in separate worksheets – Customize for intuitiveness & performance • Use VBA as the numerical/algorithms engine: – Calculations iteration decision Calculations, iteration, flow, loops, etc. – Custom userforms © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 16

(isothermtech.com) Model Definition • Who will be using the model? END USER(S) & – only the developer CONFIGURATION – one well defined customer/user CONTROL – user group – corporate wide distribution – unlimited distribution • What results do they need? SCOPE & – single point design REQUIREMENTS – design trades – system simulation – system optimization t ti i ti • What parameters do they want to vary? CAPABILITIES – raw inputs & INTERFACES – statistical variations – design perturbations • Who is developing the model? STANDARDS & – one person WORK FLOW – 2 or 3 people – more than 10 people – multiple organizations © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 17

(isothermtech.com) System Decomposition • S t Systems can be b decomposed in Excel using different diff t worksheets • If more than two levels are needed, can use the syntax: 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1, etc. • Other Excel tools to aid in documenting and navigating within system models: Diagrams, NOTE: Can also add a parent level by creating & linking multiple workbooks Navigation Objects, and Outlines © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 18

(isothermtech.com) Start-Up Control • The way a workbook is y displayed when it opens can be controlled • Open the VBA Editor • Double click on “This Workbook” in the VBA Project window • Select “Workbook” in the first drop down window, and “Open” in the th second d • Add code to control The above code displays how the workbook a startup message, p g , opens makes Sheet1 active, zooms in to fill the • Other events can have screen with columns A to code attached by M, M and selects cell A1 selecting them from the g second drop down menu (e.g. closing the © 2009 Matthew E. Moran workbook) 19

(isothermtech.com) Hyperlinks To hyperlink an image or cell to a target location: 1. Right li k 1 Ri ht click on th selected i the l t d image or cell & select “Hyperlink” 2. Choose what type of link you want to create and its location © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 20

(isothermtech.com) User Forms • User Forms are created on the VBA side by selecting “Insert- UserForm” U F ” • A Forms folder appears in the Project window containing a new UserForm • ActiveX controls can be added by selecting them and dragging on the UserForm to place them TIP: The name of the UserForm and all objects on it can be modified within the Properties window © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 21

(isothermtech.com) Scenarios • Excel “Scenarios” tool p can be used to explore and document changes to system/design parameters • Can be automated with VBA to add design points with the push of a button • All named variables for a given design can also be output © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 22

(isothermtech.com) Sensitivity Analysis • Analysis of the sensitivity of various model parameters can be done quickly in Excel • Use model to generate a table of performance results while varying one parameter at a time • Plot results to explore sensitivity of performance to key parameters • A similar approach can be used to investigate process variability in parameters (e g (e.g. manufacturing tolerances) © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 23

(isothermtech.com) Goal Seek • Goal Seek is a simple and easy tool for finding a desired value based on changing one variable • Helpful for running quick “what-if” calculations • Allows user to explore design boundaries as a function of one variable at a time • Example: What flow velocity will yield the maximum allowable pressure drop? © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 24

(isothermtech.com) Solver • S l Solver is a very powerful i f l tool for multi-parameter optimization • Unfortunately Unfortunately, documentation in Excel is not comprehensive • Can be run in real time or automated using VBA • Note: must select “VBA- Tools-References” and check “Solver” if automated (not covered in this course) • Is actually a third-party add-in from Frontline Systems • Man other 3rd part Many party optimization Add-Ins are available © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 25

(isothermtech.com) Collaboration Lessons Learned • Agree t modeling strategy & approach A to d li t t h Subsystem 1 Subsystem 2 upfront, and enforce it (Sheet1) (Sheet2) • Insure all contributors have the skills to implement adopted techniques p p q • If possible, have individual contributors work on separate subsystem worksheets • Have a single person do system integration of the workbook System • Implement configuration & version (Workbook) control techniques • Consider using file storage & management systems that “check-out” documents to insure only one person is working on it at any given time g yg Subsystem 3 Subsystem 4 • Look to the “open source” development (Sheet3) (Sheet 4) community for more advanced techniques (e.g. Apache, Linux, Open Office, etc.) © 2009 Matthew E. Moran 27

(isothermtech.com) Distribution & Version Control • Use a version numbering Development system to save Versions modifications (e.g. 1.1, 1.2,…) – Development versions can be saved as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc. (archive these if necessary) Release for Distribution – Released versions can (e.g. 2.0) (e g 2 0) be saved as 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc. (keep copies of th t (k i f these on hand for support questions) • E Examples l Development – ThermalModel_v2.5 is a Versions (e.g. 2.1, 2.2,…) (e g 2 1 2 2 ) development version p – ThermalModel_v3.0 is the third release © 2009 Matthew E.

Moran 29

(isothermtech.com) Flexibility & Extensibility • Excel is an ideal environment for allowing users to add custom content to a standardized model • Some examples: – Add price sheets – Link model outputs to custom calculations – Provide worksheet sections for user customization – Allow addition of selected macros • By using the protection settings, developer can control which features to allow user to customize © 2009 Matthew E.
