Summary
Adds a beta/experimental Excel interface for CEA, intended for 64-bit Windows Excel/VBA users who need live worksheet formulas backed by the native CEA library. The interface is optional, disabled by default, and documented as a Windows 64-bit-only path; users who only need spreadsheet-formatted outputs are encouraged to use the Python API with Pandas and export to CSV/XLSX.
Changes
CEA_ENABLE_BIND_EXCELCMake binding path, defaulting toOFF.cea_excel.dllwrapper API, public Excel header, and smoke/API tests.cea_template.xlsmas the starter macro-enabled workbook.docs/source/interfaces/excel_api.rst.Compatibility / Numerical behavior
The Excel binding is additive and opt-in. Standard builds keep
CEA_ENABLE_BIND_EXCEL=OFF, and the wrapper delegates solve behavior to the existing C/Fortran CEA APIs.
