General Remarks on Creating a Report

Creation of a report helps in the documentation of the design parameters as well as the process data of a calculation.

Each report contains a number of sub-reports, which can be inserted in the complete report in any order just like text components. The user can define the number as well as the sequence of the sub-reports.

The appearance of the sub-reports is fixed. For this, a number of report types are pre-defined. Depending upon the report type, the sub-reports can have a pre-defined content, for instance, can comprise of the documentation of the settings inEBSILON^®Professional, or of a fixed number of components from the listing of the calculation results.

In the documentation of design data, the program settings ofEBSILON^®Professional as well as the key data are to be documented, which are necessary for tracking the calculation.

A list of components must be added to the sub-reports, which are supposed to document the parameters of one or several components.

The protocol is written in a file. This file can then be sent to a printer with the help of MS Word.
