REPORTER 22.1

Standard Library Templates

Standard library templates

A number of standard templates have been created for automotive crash test protocols, included as part of the installation. They are located in the subdirectories reporter_library/templates and workflows/templates/automotive_assessments in the directory where REPORTER is installed. 

The templates in the workflows/templates/automotive_assessments directory are new in Oasys 21.0 and use data saved from the Automotive Assessment workflow. Guidance for these templates can be found in the Automotive Assessments REPORTER section.

The templates in the reporter_library/templates directory use the original method of using data stored in CSV files. The following sections discuss how to use these templates.

The templates can be selected from File Open Library Template... . After asking a few questions to get information needed to generate the report, the standard templates calculate results according to the protocol, e.g. EuroNCAP Front Impact. They can also be run in a batch mode. In addition to the standard templates for automotive crash test protocols, there is a general Ansys LS-DYNA template that can be used for any Ansys LS-DYNA model, and a general Ansys LS-DYNA vehicle template that can be used for any vehicle analysis.

In general, the templates contain a front summary page showing the overall score for the test, with further pages containing tables showing individual measurements and graphs.

The reports can be written out as PDF, HTML or PPTX files as normal.

There are two generic types of templates:

The way they work is slightly different, but generally they follow the same process. The following sections will describe how to use the templates. There is also additional documentation for the new Euro NCAP MPDB templates:
