## 7.4. Automatic Creation of Simulation Details Reports on Upload

For all supported object types EKM will automatically begin extracting simulation details from a file as soon as it has been uploaded to the repository, updated using send changes, or created/synchronized if it is a remote file. EKM will then generate a simulation details report that you can view by selecting (More) > Display > Simulation Details Report.

The report that is created is not a separate EKM object but is instead a child object of the uploaded CAE file, and is available only for display, copying, and downloading purposes. You can, however, save it as a separate EKM object of type `Simulation Details Report` if you want, so that you can act on it independently of the parent file. See Simulation Details Reports for more details.

If the file is a Workbench project archive file (.wbpz), a more comprehensive simulation details report is generated. It 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.

If the file type you are uploading is a custom object type or extension to a built-in type that has a custom report extractor application defined for it, then in addition to the built-in report that is extracted, a custom report that is specified will also be extracted. See Defining Type Attributes for a Custom Type in the Administration Guide to learn more about specifying a custom report extractor program for a custom type.

There may be circumstances when metadata and/or report extraction can fail. This can happen, for example, if there is an error in the built-in or custom report extraction program. You can invoke data extraction manually if needed. See Extracting Data On Demand for more details.
