AcuReport Reference Manual
Instruction of the AcuReport tool, a standalone post-processor batch tool used to generate a report from an AcuSolve solution database.
- Report
  This module creates the .tex file based on the LaTex formatting system by using various methods that work on the report, such as addFigure, addSection and addTable.
- Adb
  The role of this module is to create an interface to the Acudb module for opening and extracting the last AcuSolve solution database, and transferring its data to the report and plotting them.
- 2D Plot
  This module defines the curve method for drawing an interpolated curve and the plot method that plots the curve(s) into an image file.
- 3D Plot
  The 3D plot part role is used to show and change the 3D visualization view of the problem.
- Example of .Rep File
  The .rep file may look something like the example shown below.
- Run Time Options for AcuReport
  Each program requires zero or more command-line options to run.
- Document Generation
- 2D Plot
- ReportAcs
  This module defines methods that get data from the database and adds them to the report (.tex) file and are used by the .rep file.

- Scene Graph Functions
- Miscellaneous Functions
- Basic LaTex Tags
  Below are some useful tags in the LaTex formatting system.
- Acupu Functions
  - appendCrds()
    Append a new coordinate/usrIds to the end of an old set. Also, return an inverse map from the new usrIds to the extended vector.
  - array2Str()
    Convert an array to string for printing.
  - cksumArray()
    Get an array cksum.
  - cksumFile()
    Get the file's cksum value.
  - crdOrg()
    Get the center of a set of nodes.
  - cs2Str()
    Convert a clean string to a string.
  - decryptStr()
    Decrypt a string.
  - dupNodeMap()
    Return a nodal map for duplicate nodes.
  - elmGradField()
    Get the average grad-field within each element.
  - elmVolume()
    Get the volume of each element.
  - encryptStr()
    Encrypt a string.
  - getCnnNodes()
    Get a unique list of nodes in a connectivity array.
  - getFileCnts()
    Get file counts.
  - getInvMap()
    Build and return an inverse map from user number to 0 based index.
  - getMemoryUsage()
    Get memory usage (from first import Acupu).
  - getProIds()
    Get all process IDs on the system.
  - getSipVoidPtrInt()
    Get an integer from a voidPtr.
  - getSrfEdge()
