Area from Vectors
The previous post looked at User Defined Functions (UDFs) for working with vectors, including examples of functions to find the area of polygons defined by coordinates. In this post the functions will be extended to find other section properties (such … Continue reading

Section Properties from Coordinates Without VBA
At the Eng-Tips forum there was a question asking for a calculation of area and centroid values from coordinates without the use of VBA. In my opinion using VBA is much the easiest and most robust way to do it, … Continue reading

Cubic Spline Update
The previous post in this series presented a User Defined Function (UDF) to fit a cubic spline to a series of points defined by XY coordinates. Each segment of the resulting spline is defined by a separate cubic curve, which may be … Continue reading
Elegant proofs 2 – The area of a circle
We are so familiar with the formula for the area enclosed by a circle that we tend not to think much about how it was derived, at least I don’t. The proofs of the formula are in fact many and … Continue reading
Section Properties from Layers
An alternative to finding the section properties of irregular polygons from the coordinates of the corners is to divide the shape into rectangular or trapezoidal layers. The properties of the shape may then be found by simply summing the properties … Continue reading

Section Properties from Coordinates
The area of irregular closed polygons defined by coordinates may be conveniently calculated by summing the areas of adjacent trapeziums, as shown below. The area of each trapezium is calculated from the X axis. Note that with the apex coordinates … Continue reading
