COASTEXCEL is a Microsoft-Excel spreadsheet with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) functions to calculate fundamental wave properties using linear wave theory, simple wave transformations, tidal elevations, tsunami travel time, wind wave growth parameters, design wave heights using Raleigh’s probability distribution, breakwater dimensions and longshore sediment transport rates.

...The use of calculation models together with experimental tests is producing unquestionable successes due to the fact that both techniques complement each other. 1D wave action models simplify the engine by means of ducts, where only one dimension is considered, and volumes where mass accumulation is considered and the gas properties are uniform in the entire element. Finally, non dimensional models are used to solve connections between 1D and 0D elements. Thanks to more than 20 years, more than 10 PhD Thesis and many research projects and publications, CMT-Motores Térmicos has developed an own 1D gasdynamic tool called OpenWAMTM which gathers an important know-how on air management, compressible flow, turbocharging, chemical species tracking, numerical analysis and many other aspects of engine modeling.

A solver based on the spectral element method, used in conjunction with FEMAP, as a pre- and post- processor. It solves the elastic wave propagation problem, and the coupling with a piezoelectric materials for excitation and sensing. It is currently in 2D and has both static and transient capabilities.
