Numerical Instability in Dynamic Force Analysis of Scissor Lift

The author is experiencing numerical instability issues with matrix inversion in Excel for dynamic force analysis of a scissor lift, resulting in wildly oscillating joint force values. The goal is to achieve a smooth and precise analysis to validate the design. The issue seems to stem from either an algebraic sign error or a matrix conditioning problem.
