Reporting
MetaPiping and MetaStructure can generate reports with all the details of the model input, some review pictures and all results of an analysis.
The report is exclusively based on *.docx file.
ATTENTION, it is mandatory that Microsoft Word must be installed on user computer !
A report is based on an empty template (*.docx) that contains keywords.
A keyword is associated to a section described in a table document (*.docx).
User can prepare template document and table document and then import them in the software (the first one in the template section, the second in the table section) as shown in the upper figure.
ATTENTION, the documents are copied in the settings. The original word files are not moved nor modified.
1. Keyword mechanism
The keyword is useful to make a correspondence between the template and the table document but with specific decorators :
$$keyword$$ for the template
[keyword] for the table
Example :
| Keyword | Template keyword | Table keyword |
|---|---|---|
| MATERIALS | $$MATERIALS$$ | [MATERIALS] |
A digit is authorized after a keyword [0..9] to enlarge the possibilities.
Example :
| Keyword | Template keyword | Table keyword |
|---|---|---|
| MATERIALS | $$MATERIALS0$$ -> $$MATERIALS9$$ | [MATERIALS0] -> [MATERIALS9] |
If the software encounters the keyword $$MATERIALS3$$ in the template, it will know that it corresponds to the internal keyword MATERIALS and will try to find the section in the table document with the keyword [MATERIAL3]. If succeed, it will insert the content of the table at the position of the template keyword and fill all materials.
ATTENTION, the keyword must be written in CAPITAL letters.
2. Template
A template is a Word *.docx file with user defined layout and content.
MetaPiping/MetaStructure let you insert datas from the current study inside the template at a certain position in the document via keywords.

4. Table
A table is a Word *.docx file with user defined layout and content based on predefined keyword and structure.
A table can define several keyword content.
The layout of a keyword content is :
[KEYWORD]
[HEADER]
[CONTENT]
[FOOTER]
[END]
The table’s [KEYWORD] corresponds to the template’s $$KEYWORD$$.
Example for $$NODES$$ :
Between the [HEADER] section and the [CONTENT] section, user can define an introduction of the table, a title and table headers and units.
Between the [CONTENT] section and the [FOOTER] section, user can define a one line table (aligned with the header). On each cell, user can define properties. The software will repeat this row with every item of this type and fill the properties.
Between the [FOOTER] section and the [END] section, user can define a conclusion of the table or some remarks.
4.1 Properties
Depending of the type of the keyword, properties are recoverable.
