The Import and Export Summary reports are generated in the import and export operations. The reports provide information about the nodes in a displacement file just imported into a CAESAR II Import model:

  1. The number of displacement nodes existing in the model before import.

  2. The number of displacement nodes existing in the model after import.

  3. The number of displacement nodes that have been read in.

  4. The number of displacement nodes that are not in the model.

  5. The number of displacement nodes that cannot find empty locations in the model.

  6. The number of displacement nodes that do not have displacements.

  7. The number of displacement nodes that have stored displacements in the model.

  8. The number of displacement nodes that are replacing values in the model.

  9. The number of displacement nodes that are new in the model.

Similar in operation to the warning messages, the summary report can help you identify potential problems in a displacement file. However, you should remember the following points:

  1. Because every displacement data line in a displacement file has a node number, the total number of nodes processed is equal to the total number of displacement data lines in the file.

  2. Each displacement data line should have a unique node number. However, if the same node number appears in many data lines, it would be counted many times. In this case, the displacement values in the last data line are used in the model, overwriting the previous values.

  3. If no node number appears in a displacement data line, CAESAR II indicates the corresponding data line number and stops the import process.

  4. If there is a node in a displacement file that is not in the model, or cannot find a slot in the model, or does not have a displacement, the displacement file or the model should be checked carefully to understand the reasons behind it.

  5. If a displacement node exists both in the model and the displacement file, the displacement values from the file are used to overwrite the ones in the model, and this node is counted as a replacement node.

  6. The number of displacement nodes existing in the model after import should be equal to the number of displacement nodes existing in the model before import, plus the number of new displacement nodes.

  7. The number of displacement nodes that have stored displacements in the model should be equal to the number of replacement nodes, plus the number of new displacement nodes.
