Report Generation HTML Option Missing

I am using PLAXIS 2D Connection Edition V20.04.00.790

I noticed that Report Generator no longer has HTML option shown in the manual.

HTML result output is useful for summarising data by Excel VBA macros... Anyone else have this issue?

  • Dear Anthony,

    You are correct. In our latest versions, the option for exporting to HTML is no longer available.

    That was discontinued due to some stability and implementation issues we have encountered while trying to improve Output program. This was also based on the low usage of purely exporting using the HTML format for the same of using it as HTML data. 

    I also see that you want to use the data in Excel which also means that the HTML was a means to an end.

    In the meantime, we have implemented our Python scripting environment to easily extract data and with the power of Python reuse them in other ways, including editing in Excel.

    If you share more information about what you are trying to achieve, maybe we can propose a solution that will fit your needs.

  • Hi Stefanos,

    Thanks for your reply, I didn't know it was discontinued.

    Unfortunately, I am not familiar with python.

    My main goal of using HTML data from the report generator is to extract structural data from every construction sequence from PLAXIS, and use macros to extract and reorganize the data into summary tables. Such as strut force and wall deflection at each stage.
