Simcenter 3D Solutions How to modify an existing Python-script for Simcenter 3D Report Writer (NX-Open)

How to modify the Material Table script for the usage in Report Writer (Function "Create Report" in Pre/Post).

• Modifying NX-Open Report-Commands (Python-Script) for a reduced and better readable layout of the Material table in "Create Report".
• The Original Script can either be modified or a new one can be added in the Report Command Manager.
  

The report scripts can be found in the NX/Simcenter directory of the installation:

• e.g. "..\NX2306\SIMULATION\report\commands\common\materials"

Here below we can see the original script RW_MaterialTable.py, which we will modify.

The reduced material output script looks like this:

The default output (without the changes) in a report looked like this.
The report command in a MS-Word Template is: <<<RW_MaterialTable>>>

All information from the material is listed, which are probably too much, and most information is not important.

The reduced form looks like this, which is in most cases sufficient.
