Pre-Conference Workshops

Introduction to Thermal Systems Modeling with Excel/VBA

Presented by: Matt Moran, Owner, Isotherm Technologies LLC
When: October 19th, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. with a one hour lunch break (lunch provided)
Registration: $595

This one-day workshop is for engineers, scientists, and others interested in developing custom thermal system models. Principles and practices are established for creating integrated models using Excel and its built-in programming environment, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Real-world techniques and tips not found in any other course, book or other resource are revealed. Step-by-step implementation, instructor-led interactive examples, and integrated participant exercises solidify the concepts introduced. Application examples are demonstrated from the instructor’s experience in electronics thermal management, power systems, spacecraft, underwater vehicles, cryogenic systems and other projects. Topics covered include: Excel/VBA Overview; Identifying Scope & Capabilities; Quick Prototyping; Defining Model Structure; Designing Graphical User Interfaces; Building & Tuning the VBA Engine; Customizing Output Results; Exploiting Built-in Excel Functions; Integrating External Data; Adding Interdisciplinary Capabilities; Unleashing GoalSeek & Solver; Incorporating Scenarios; Documentation, References, & Links; Formatting & Protection; Flexibility, Standardization, & Configuration Control; Other Useful Tips & Tricks; and Application Topics.
