Program Description:
"SECTPROP" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of calculating section properties. Two methods of input data are provided, either by adding of deleting "shapes" or by defining a polygon by a series of "points". Specifically, the centroid location and total area are determined, as well as the centroidal and principal axes moments of inertia, radii of gyration, and rotation angle. This program is a workbook consisting of three (3) worksheets, described as follows:

defined), in some cases it may be required to re-enter the coordinates of starting Point #1 directtly after
the last defined point coordinates, so that the plot of the section will appear "closed". 10. Using the Points worksheet, coordinates of each point are input, proceeding in a CLOCKWISE direction for (positive) area to be added, and then in a COUNTER-CLOCKWISE direction for (negative) area to be deleted.
Negative coordinates ARE NOT acceptable. 12. This program contains numerous comment boxes which contain a wide variety of information including explanations of input or output items, equations used, data tables, etc. (Note: presence of a comment box is denoted by a red triangle in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. Merely move the mouse pointer to the desired cell to view the contents of that particular "comment box".)
