Problem:

Word output report generates individual files but does not combine into a single file when using AutoPIPE, why?

Steps to repeat:

  1. User opens model using AutoPIPE, example- v.12.08.03.015
  2. Analyze the model
  3. Open Word out report tab in report manager
  4. Select all available reports including complete model listing and generate the output report
  5. Observe that all of the report sections are printed to individual files in the folder. However, at no time are all of the individual files combined into a single WORD file. 

Solution:

The issue is basically because the application is run into an out of memory exception. AutoPIPE Word reports first generates the individual sub reports and then merges them all into a single Word file. For fairly large models, the merging of word reports results in empty report because it goes out of range for the application (1162381).

Avoidance:

The workaround for this would be to generate each report individually or generate reports with similar sub-reports information.
Report Combination Example:
1) Combine code compliance with Analysis Summary
2) Code Compliance with result summary
3) General Pipe Stress
4) Displacement
5) flexible joints , support , flange summary , reference loads , restraint (as they have less data as compared to code compliance, displacement, general stress)
and so on
