SDC Reporting An extension for Ansys Femap and Simcenter which automates the generation of full calculation reports

Report Designer & Presentation Designer SDC Reporting is an extension for the CAE programs which automate the generation of full calculation reports. All SDC Reporting features are available within SDC Verifier software. The report Designer is an advanced tool to document the FEA model and to create full calculation reports in Docx and PDF formats. With the Presentation Designer quick Power Point presentations with summary and main results can be generated:

Report Structure / Navigation The report structure is translated into Microsoft Word and PDF bookmarks to facilitate navigation through the report. Results can not only be ordered by loads, but also by selections (for example, frames, longitudinals, decks).

Model Description Automatic description of the materials and properties data (including mass overview). The elements related to material/property are highlighted. All boundary conditions and the description of the applied loads are automized.

Model Checks The mesh quality based on 8 different criteria is checked and described in the element quality section. The Free Edge tool recognizes locations where the connection between the model parts is lost due to incompatible meshing. The total mass overview for different selections (materials, properties, user selections) including COG.

In the SDC reporting tool a lot of different table options are present to make a complete overview of the calculation results. For example, a reaction forces for selected load situations with Min and max highlighted in each direction. Extreme results as the absolute maximum stress for different selections (materials, properties, user selections). A quick overview of the absolute maximum displacements over all loads in one table: The number format of all tables can be customized for different result categories (for a SI unit model Stress with fixed power e+6 shows MPa or N/mm2 and e-3 shows mm...

Post-processing tools The Peak Finder finds all peak zones based on the user criteria and presents the results using labeled plot: The Governing Loads tool extracts the critical loads out of a large group of load combinations: From 132 to 8 load cases

Report Template In a report template it is possible to configure the layout of the first page, header, footer, fonts and margins: The Header/Footer items can contain a project information (e.g. customer company name or logo), custom text or image. In addition, user can create custom fields and use them in the report layout.
