Problem:

In the model, "Tubular implantation", the number of tubes and the tubular path are correct. However, in the report the are different,  why?

Solution:

Most common cause was a change in the geometry of the exchanger (AKU-> Weed) but this information was not updated in the "Beam" tab. Geometry no longer matches the TEMA type, which leads to inconsistent results.

It is always risky to change the TEMA type of an exchanger because it requires a lot of data to be reverified. In this case, it was necessary to at least change the type (AKU-> Weed):
