AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS REPORT CREATION USING THE LINK BETWEEN B4 AND WinWord

All numerical results are stored beside all input data in the output file that is also a standard ASCII file with an extension lis. Similar to the input file also the input file can be accessed from the program during the analysis using program Notepad. Graphical output is due to the large amount of required memory not stored automatically but each figure (with a double click on it) can be stored optionally into a separated output file in the Windows Bitmap (bmp) standard. Output files (numerical results and graphics) can be later retrieved into a text processor and adequately formatted.

It is also possible to create the analysis reports using the word processor directly without pasting the results from the output file with extension lis. The package namely supports the word processor WinWord (version 6 and higher). If this option is selected the package establishes a link to WinWord and navigates it to create the final report. Such a report is much more distinguishing than the standard output of the data as it consists of all main implemented equations accompanied with obtained results.

To create the output file (with the extension doc) corresponding templates were created but these can be further modified according to the user needs (first page and headers with the logo of the user). For some cases it is possible to distinguish between short and full reports (in the ultimate bearing capacity analysis it is possible to chose the report with main results only or the complete report where also the minor results are included, together with corresponding equations).
