- High potential for automation
- Automation of model build up was done in 2012(ACUM 2013; Process automation with Jscript in ANSYS Workbench)
- First automatic report was a „Quick and Dirty“ solution
- High quality automatic report for internal customers was missing
Automatic report generation
· Report requirements
- Use of Workbench images, figures
- Input of project data
- Report for single load case

· JScript· Python· HTML + CSS
- CADFEM is able to combine all programming methodsèCADFEM does the programming work
• Workflow in JScript:• Retrieve user-specified data from ANSYS Mechanical by JScript; • JScript function call from Python via “SendCommand()” function;
Example Code Python Call of JScript for Single systems:
