### 8.3.9. Displaying a Simulation Details Report

You can use the (More) > Display > Simulation Details Report action (or the Simulation Details Report display tab if the object is already opened) to display the Simulation Details Report for the currently-opened CAE file. It is the default display for all CAE file types (objects that derive from the `CAE Model File` base type).

Simulation details reports are displayed as a single HTML page in the file list window (see Figure 8.8: Sample Simulation Details Report). A navigation pane is displayed to the left of the report. This pane contains a table of contents that provides an overview of the sections in the report. You can click on a section in the table of contents to instantly jump to that section. You can hide the navigation pane from view by clicking in the top left corner of the pane. You can then redisplay the navigation pane at any time by clicking in the top left corner of the report window. You can also use the scroll bar to view a desired section.

There are two special actions available to you when displaying a Simulation Details Report: Copy Report and Download Report. These are located in the upper right corner of the page, just below the toolbar. See Copying a Report for more details.

Figure 8.8: Sample Simulation Details Report

If any of the following file types has an image associated with it, then the static image will be included in the simulation details report:

- `Ansoft Designer File` (.adsn)

- `ANSYS Electronics Desktop File` (.aedt)

- `ANSYS Electronics Desktop Archive File` (.aedtz)

- `CFX Definition` file (.def)

- `CFX Result` file (.res)

- `Fluent case` file (.cas)

- `HFSS File` (.hfss)

- `Maxwell File` (.mxwl)

- `Mechanical APDL Database` file (.db, .cdb)

- `Mechanical APDL Result` file (.rst, .rstp, .rth, .rmg, .rfl)

- `Simplorer File` (.aspm)

Note: For Simplorer, Maxwell, HFSS and Ansoft Designer files, the image that is shown cannot be enlarged in the display or when the report is downloaded.

#### Displaying Icepak Project Reports

For standalone Icepak projects, a simulation details report will only be available if the Write XML-based report when finished option was enabled in the Solve settings in Icepak (see Using the Solve Panel to Set the Solver Controls in the Icepak User's Guide). Simulation details reports are not available for packed Icepak projects (.tzr files). For Workbench projects with an Icepak system, a simulation details report will always be available.

#### Displaying Workbench Project Reports

If the file is a `Workbench Project Archive File` (.wbpz), a more comprehensive report is created that contains a summary of the archive properties, all files contained within the project, design points, parameters, systems, and simulation details of relevant CAE files for each system associated with the project. See Displaying Workbench Project Reports for more details.

#### Displaying Results in ANSYS Electronics Desktop Project Reports

For ANSYS Electronics Desktop (.aedt) files, results are not included in the simulation details report by default. This is because the corresponding .aedtresults folder (which can be very large in size) is not copied to the data extraction directory during extraction.

To include results in AEDT reports, an EKM administrator must do the following:

1. Set the following environment variable:

   `AEDT_EXTRACTION_INCLUDE_RESULTS=1`

2. Restart the EKM server.
