Introduction | Session 1 | Session 2 | Session 3 | Session 4 | Session 5
In this session we create an output report and view it at: EASA > Authoring > Testing
The HTML report will include a summary of user input and a table of results.
1. Let's get started and create an HTML REPORT.
2. We use EXTRACT to parse and then format data from the batch software output file.
This file name will not appear in the pull-down list because it is created after the plate software application is run.
3. In order to help in the creation of EXTRACT, FIND, and REPEAT objects we use the Extract Tool.
4. When the Extract Tool window appears we open the output file.
JOINT DISPLACEMENTS will appear in the left 'Matched Lines' column.
5. We now may access the values which we care about for the report; we assign an object name to each value.
6. We set up a repeating FIND to pull out the desired data.
7. Finally we compute the maximum displacement on the plate using STATISTICS.
8. Let’s display the calculated maximum displacement of the plate in our report.
Parameter Name | Parameter Value |
---|---|
Text: | Maximum Plate Displacement = %MaxD% in. |
Style: | Normal |
9. Let's add a heading.
10. Finally let's display our extracted nodal displacement data in a table.
Parameter Name | Parameter Value |
---|---|
Column Titles: | Node, Displacement [in] |
Columns: | node, zd |
11. At this point, we may get a preliminary view of the report that will be generated by the objects in the OUTPUT branch.
If your results pages do not look like what is shown above, you may have a problem with the original EASAP run or with the objects on your OUTPUT branch.
We can try to resolve the problem now or wait until Session 5 where we will be testing and troubleshooting our EASAP.
We have now finished Session 4. Let's continue with Session 5
