Chapter 19:The Report Generator
Result: The report generator saves the animation sequence.
19.3.2. Batch
The following line must appear near the beginning of your batch code before any report commands:
~eui,'package require ansys'
To capture an animation sequence via a batch run via a batch run, insert this report command at the point
in the run where you want to capture an animation:
~eui,'ansys::report::animcapture "caption"'
Follow the report command with an ANSYS animation command (for example, ANTIME or ANDATA).
19.4. Capturing a Data Table
This section describes how to capture and store a data table, either interactively or within a batch run.
The report generator appends captured table data to ansysTables.js, a file in your specified report
directory containing the JavaScript functions for accessing your table data. (The file contains code to generate
HTML as well as comments that hold the table information in a tab-delimited form, allowing you to paste
the table data into software other than an HTML document.) The report generator assigns the name table_n
to each captured table, where n is a sequential numeric identifier beginning at 1 and incrementing as you
capture additional tables.
19.4.1. Interactive
Follow these steps to capture a data table using the report generator GUI:
1. Click on the Table Capture button.
Result: The Table Capture dialog appears.
2. Specify a caption for the captured table (for example, “Prism Material Properties Table").
The caption can contain APDL parameters in the format %parm%. (Specify “%%” if you want to display
the “%” character in your caption.)
3. Select a predefined table type from the list. (The report generator filters the list of available table types
based on the current analysis.)
If you select the “Material properties” table type, specify the currently defined materials via the Material
Selection field.
Note
ANSYS does not display a material property which has no value associated with it.
If you select the Custom Table option, specify the table size (that is, the number of columns and rows)
via the Custom Table Size field.
4. Click on the OK button.

Result: The report generator saves your captured table data. However, if you have selected the Custom
Table option, see Creating a Custom Table (p. 287).
