## 11.1. Simulation Details Reports

For all object types that derive from the CAE Model File base type, EKM will automatically extract a simulation details report in HTML format after the file is uploaded to a repository or created/synchronized if it is a remote file.

Supported types include:

- `Ansoft Designer File` (.adsn)

- `ANSYS Electronics Desktop File` (.aedt)

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

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

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

- `CFX Definition` (.def)

- `CFX Result` (.res)

- `Fluent Case` (.cas)

- `Fluent HDF` (.cas.h5)

- `HFSS File` (.hfss)

- `Icepak Project Data` (.ice.xml)

- `Maxwell File` (.mxwl)

- `Polyflow Data` (.dat)

- `Simplorer File` (.asmp)

- `Workbench Project Archive File` (.wbpz)

- `Workbench Project File` (.wbpj)

- `Workbench Simulation/Mechanical Database` (.dsdb, .mechdb, .mechdat)

If the object type is a `Workbench Project Archive File` (.wbpz), then a special Workbench project report is created. See Workbench Project Reports for details.

Figure 11.1: Sample Simulation Details Report in HTML Format

When an upload is finished or when you open the CAE file in EKM, the report will display as a single HTML page on the Simulation Details Report tab in the file list window. 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. Each section corresponds to metadata that has been extracted from the file. 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.

### Image Display in a Simulation Details Report

If the file is a `Fluent case` (.cas), `Ansoft Designer File` (.adsn), `HFSS File` (.hfss), `Simplorer File` (.asmp), `Maxwell File` (.mxwl), `CFX Definition` (.def), `CFX Result` (.res), `Mechanical APDL Database` (.db, .cdb) or `Mechanical APDL Result` (.rst, .rth, .rmg) type and it has an image associated with it, then the static image will be included in the simulation details report.

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.

### Report Creation

The report that is created is not a separate EKM object but is instead a child object of the uploaded CAE file and is not directly accessible to you in the user interface except for display, copying, and downloading purposes. The child report can be useful when you want to compare the simulation details of multiple supported CAE files directly, without having to create separate report objects and then compare the reports as separate actions. It also enables you to retrieve the parent file using child report contents as search criteria.

There may be circumstances when metadata extraction succeeds but simulation details report extraction fails. In this case you will need to extract the report manually. See Extracting Simulation Details Reports On Demand for details.

### Report Actions

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. Copy Report can be used to create a separate EKM object of type Simulation Details Report for the child report that can be used when you want to act on the report separately from its parent CAE file. You can also download a report in several file formats. See Copying a Report and Downloading a Report, respectively for details.
