Deliverables

The following files are created by an Automation run.

Item Folder Description
Output json Json JSON output file containing key values from the analysis run by each command. Referenced by the outputFilename JSON item.
Log Log Text file containing the progress log. Referenced by the logFilename JSON item.
ASBD model Model Binary file for the model. Referenced by the modelFilename JSON item.
Design report Report The design report as a PDF file. Referenced by the reportFilename JSON item.
Image Report\Graphics_**** The graphics folder contains the graphic files (.png) referenced in the output JSON file. The graphics folder name is unique to each automation run.

Output

The output content depends on the type of analysis, for example, for design beams the critical effects are output.

        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

The values can be output as values or as strings including the unit.

Log

The progress log text file details the model data and commands as it is processed and shows warnings and errors.

Report

The optional design report for a section or beam as a PDF contains all of calculations in detail.

Design Report

The hyperlinks in the summary table point to the detailed calculations in the report (which detail the performance ratio calculation).
