The Report component also has a concept called "Field Values". Each snapshot has a field value table that contains a number of field value key names and corresponding values, for instance database name, result name, min/max value and so on. If a field value tag is found in a document template, it will be replaced with the matching value from the correct snapshot when the report is created.
The syntax of the field value tag is SIT1_$MYFIELDVALUE where MYFIELDVALUE is the field value name. When the Report component encounters this tag in the text, it will go to snapshot 1 in the repository and search its field value table for a field value named MYFIELDVALUE. If a match is found, it will take the corresponding value and replace the field value in the text.
Text found in MS Word: "The result "N/A" has min value N/A and max value N/A."
In Design Mode, content controls will show the selected field values:
![]() |
The generated text in the report will be: "The result "Stress" has the min value 0 and max value 42."
For convenience, the Report component offers a Field Values generator (cee::rep::FieldValuesGenerator) which populates a set of field values from an UnstructModel.
The following field values are set:
Field value name |
---|
DATABASE_NAME |
DATABASE_PATH |
DATABASE_TITLE |
DATABASE_DESCRIPTION |
DATABASE_NUM_STATES |
DATABASE_NUM_SCALARS |
DATABASE_NUM_VECTORS |
DATABASE_NUM_DISPLACEMENTS |
DATABASE_TYPE |
CASE_NUM_PARTS |
CASE_BOUNDING_BOX_MIN |
CASE_BOUNDING_BOX_MAX |
FRAME_BOUNDING_BOX_MIN |
FRAME_BOUNDING_BOX_MAX |
FRAME_NUM_ELEMENTS |
FRAME_NUM_NODES |
FRAME_TIMESTEP |
FRAME_TIMESTEP_REF_VALUE |
SCALAR_RESULT_NAME |
SCALAR_RESULT_ID |
SCALAR_RESULT_MAPPING |
SCALAR_RESULT_MIN |
SCALAR_RESULT_MAX |
VECTOR?_RESULT_NAME |
VECTOR?_RESULT_ID |
VECTOR?_RESULT_MAPPING |
VECTOR?_RESULT_MIN |
VECTOR?_RESULT_MAX |
DISPLACEMENT_RESULT_NAME |
DISPLACEMENT_RESULT_ID |
CUTPLANE?_POSITION |
CUTPLANE?_NORMAL |
CUTPLANE?_SCALAR_NAME |
ISOSURFACE?_ISO_VALUE |
ISOSURFACE?_ISO_SCALAR_NAME |
ISOSURFACE?_MAP_SCALAR_NAME |
ISOSURFACE?_MAP_VECTOR_NAME |
ISOVOLUME?_ISO_VALUE_MIN |
ISOVOLUME?_ISO_VALUE_MAX |
ISOVOLUME?_ISO_SCALAR_NAME |
ISOVOLUME?_MAP_SCALAR_NAME |
ISOVOLUME?_MAP_VECTOR_NAME |
Note the ? in the field values keys. This applies to cutting planes, isovolumes, isosurfaces and vectors which there can me more that one of for the model at the same time. These will be replaced with the correct index found in the model.
