- QUANT Menu: INFO
- ==============================================================================
- Creates external report files containing data on the model walls, holes, and
- solids.
-
- 1. (Y/N) dBASE-III format report ?
- if reply `n' and files already exist:
- 2. (Y/N) files: holes, solids, walls, already exist, want to overwrite? <n>
- if reply `y':
- 2. (CHAR) file name for dBASE-III (1-8 char.)
- if dBASE-III file name exists:
- 3. (Y/N) file (name) already exists, want to overwrite ? <n>
-
- Description
- This command creates reports containing numeric data on walls, solids and
- holes. If you answered `n' to the prompt "dBASE-III format report?", three
- files with no extensions are created in your current directory:
- walls
- solids
- holes
-
- If the files already exist, you will be notified and prompted to confirm
- overwriting. If you reply `n', you are returned to the "enter command:" prompt.
- You may invoke \shell and rename the existing files, then return and reinvoke
- \quant.
-
- 1.Walls
-
- The walls file contains data on the walls created in your current model and
- has the following format:
-
- Ent. First Second Wall Ht. Vol. Area
- No. Point Point Width
-
- 4 0 0 0 10 0 0 -0.5 0.5 9 9 90 180
-
- 7 10 0 0 10 10 0 -0.5 0.5 9 9 90 180
-
- 10 10 10 0 0 10 0 -0.5 0.5 9 9 90 180
-
- 13 0 10 0 0 0 0 -0.5 0.5 9 9 90 180
-
- The first column, Ent. No, is the wall axial line entity number in the
- database. The entity number is a unique serial number given to the entity
- when it was created.
-
- The second column, First Point, is the first point of the wall axial line.
- The third column, Second Point, is the end point of the wall axial line.
- The fourth column, Wall Width, contains two numbers defining the wall width
- (left and right sides of the axial line).
- The fifth column, Ht., contains the heights at the two end points of the wall.
- The sixth column, Vol., is the calculated volume of the wall.
- The seventh column, Area, is the calculated area of the wall faces.
-
- 2.Solids
-
- The solids file contains data on the solid entities in your current model and
- has the following format:
-
- Entity Minimum Maximum Volume Area
-
- 33 x-0.5 10.5
-
- y-0.5 10.5 121 286
-
- z910
-
- The first column, Entity, is the solid entity number in the data base. The
- entity number is a unique serial number given to the entity when it was created.
- The second column, Minimum, contains the x, y, and z coordinates of the
- lower-left corner of a box containing the entity.
- The third column, Maximum, contains the x, y, and z coordinates of the
- upper-right corner of that box.
- The fourth column, Volume, is the volume of that box.
- The fifth column, Area, is the face area of that box.
-
- 3. Holes
-
- The holes file contains data on the holes (negative solid entities) in your
- current model and has the following format:
-
- Entity Min Max Volume Area
-
- 28 x0.616 3.714
-
- y0.033 6.412 -18 54
-
- z-2.10 2.942
-
- 29 x4.080 7.178
-
- Entity Minimum Maximum Volume Area
-
- y1.033 7.412 -18 54
-
- z-3.83 1.209
-
- 30 x5.727 8.593
-
- y3.674 8.416 -14.0744 42.3793
-
- z-7.79 -3.07
-
- The first column, Entity, is the hole entity number in the database. The
- entity number is a unique serial number given to the entity when it was created.
- The second column, Minimum, contains the x, y and z coordinates of the
- lower-left corner of a box containing the entity.
- The third column, Maximum, contains the x, y and z coordinates of the
- upper-right corner of that box.
- The fourth column, Volume, is the volume of that box. Note that the volume is
- negative, indicating that this is a negative solid entity.
- The fifth column, Area, is the face area of that box.
-
- If you answered `y' to the prompt "dBASE-III format report?", the system
- prepares ASCII files based on the database for any applications generator.
- You are prompted for the file name (up to 8 characters); the extension is
- added by the system. If the specified file name exists, you will be warned
- to prevent overwriting. If you answer `n', you may specify another file name.
-
- Three new files are created in your current directory:
-
- 1. fname.rwl contains all database information on walls.
- 2. fname.rhl contains all database information on holes (negative solids)
- 3. fname.rsl contains all database information on solids (positive solids).
-
- All the data in the reports are in the same units as those in the database.
