Hydromax has several options to do your reporting:

§   Batch Analysis text file and/or streaming to Report window

§   Automatically generate a report in the Report Window for each analysis run

§   Automatically Streaming results to Word

§   Manually copy and paste tables and graphs from the Results Window and Graph Window

The most efficient method depends on the number of loadcases and damage cases you have to analyse and the output you require.

Form small number of loadcases and damage cases you can do a manual copy and paste of the results into a report. This then allows you to validate the results at the same time.

For large numbers of cases, it is recommended to use batch analysis. Batch Analysis results saved as text files do not include graphs. Select the option to send the results to the report window if you require Graphs. Additionally, if the option to Stream the report to Word has been selected in the Edit | Preferences dialog a word document is automatically generated after a Batch Analysis.

It is possible to stream the Analysis results directly to Word. To do this:

§   Edit | Preferences

§   Select the option to Send the Report to Word

This will send the Report document to Word instead of to the Report window. After you have run an analysis a Word document is created and opened automatically. This also applies to Batch Analysis.
