Excel is better than text

Next-In enables SES users to create, read, and write input files with Excel.

Version 3.2 works with a comma or period as the decimal separator. That helps my friends in Europe and Latin America.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Ajay Soni, Systra

You made it so simple. Next-In Input Manager released by Never Gray for SES/SVS is lucid, easier to work and with great user interface. As I was also a beta tester for Next-in I myself validated input generated by Next-In. We at SYSTRA have used the Next-In Input manager for few recent projects and it worked well.  My experience was positive and unsurpassed. 

Joe Gonzalez, WSP

I started using the spreadsheet and it is a time saver.

Update to 3.2 from 3.0

​

  1. Next-In works with the decimal symbol set as comma "," or period "." set in Windows (10 and 11) or Excel. Thanks to my European Clients who tested this feature.

  2. The user selects the SES Executable for simulations instead of settings environmental variables or having a local executable. Thanks to Ajay Soni for the suggestion.

  3. Selection of SI or IP version is changed to a radio button. Thanks to Dan Andrews for the suggestion. 

  4. Heading units are updated. Creating new spreadsheets does not erase headings.

  5. Formatting updates, including a change to the Aptos font.

​

Update to 3.0 from 2.5 and 2.6

The spreadsheet without software restrictions for a license.  The VBA source code can be viewed and edited.
