Model filename in custom report

Anonymous — Wed, 27 Sep 2017 14:47:20 GMT

Hello everyone!

I'm currently customizing the customreport.vbs, and want the model filename ex. model123.CATPart to be on the report.

Only thing I have found is the study name in the API

Dim StudyDoc, objShapes, Item
Set StudyDoc = Synergy.StudyDoc()
Set Item = ObjShapes.Item(1)
Item.TextFrame.TextRange.Text =StudyDoc.StudyName

Any ideas?

Hi @mikael.roslund

Thank you for using the Autodesk Moldflow Insight forums! I understand that you would like to include the Model file name in the custom report you are generating. Please review the following Autodesk Help Webinar that was presented on this topic - Understanding Moldflow Insight Automated Report Tools

Information is presented in this webinar providing guidance for your request.

Ultimately, you will want to update the .rpt file to include model file name you would like included on the report title page

TEMPLATE,default.pot
TITLEPAGE,Report Title,Author --> replace this line with "TITLEPAGE,model123.CATPart,mikael.roslund"
MESHINFORMATION, ADVANCED
MATERIALINFORMATION, ADVANCED
ANALYSISINFORMATION
PROCESSINFORMATION, ADVANCED

You can make this change/update to any of the .rpt files depending on which custom report you would like to run:

Kind regards,

Beth Mollica

Hi Mikael,
the Moldflow API cannot extract cad part name in study from what I know.
There is currently no object such as StudyDoc.PartName.
Room for improvement here.

Some ideas to workaround your issue:

If the model name is in study name, you could use something like:
StudyName = left(StudyDoc.StudyName, len(StudyDoc.StudyName)-4)
This removes .sdy from name, but could be shortened to suit your needs, if you know model name length.
Maybe a special charachter to be able to separate cad model name from study name.

Another option could be using named layers.Such as:
Set LayerManager = Synergy.LayerManager()
Set L1 = LayerManager.GetFirst()
While Not L1 Is Nothing
MsgBox LayerManager.GetName( L1 )
Set L1 = LayerManager.GetNext(L1)
Wend

When importing CAD model, the second layer, CAD Geometry will have the model name.
This would work for one model.
If an assembly, a bit more tricky, as you will not know on which layer the used model name will be on.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Berndt

Thank you Beth, but I want it to be automated.

This will work, but as you mentioned, the ability to add the part name would be a nice feature..

Tack 🙂
