PSI generates a Design Summary Report from the Support Design page. The report consolidates all key inputs and results — project information, geometry, loads, and support configuration — into a single printable document that can also be saved as a PDF.

Generating a Report

1

Complete all fields in Support Design

Fill in all required inputs: project information, geometry and weight, wind and seismic parameters, and support configuration. The Summary Report section at the bottom of the page reflects the current state of the form in real time.
2

Scroll to the Summary Report section

Navigate to the bottom of the Support Design page to find the Summary Report card. Review all displayed values to confirm they are correct before printing.
3

Click Imprimir / Exportar

Click the Imprimir / Exportar button located at the top-right of the Summary Report section. PSI opens a new browser window containing a styled copy of the report and immediately triggers the browser’s print dialog.
4

Print or save as PDF

In the browser print dialog, choose a physical printer to print the report, or select Save as PDF (or Microsoft Print to PDF) to export a PDF file.

Report Sections

The generated report contains four sections, each corresponding to a card in the Summary Report:

1. General Information — Resumen

This section captures the project identity and design basis:
FieldDescription
ProyectoProject name
Fluido de trabajoWorking fluid or service description
CódigoDesign code (e.g., ASME VIII Div 1, COVENIN)
Presión de diseñoDesign pressure with unit (MPa or psi)
Temperatura de diseñoDesign temperature with unit (°C or °F)

2. Geometry & Weight

Physical dimensions and material of the pressure vessel:
FieldDescription
Outer DiameterVessel outer diameter
Length / HeightVessel length (horizontal) or height (vertical column)
MaterialSelected vessel material
Wall thicknessNominal shell wall thickness

3. Wind & Seismic

Environmental load parameters. The seismic subsection format depends on the selected design code:
  • ASME format: Site class, spectral acceleration parameters Ss and S1
  • COVENIN format: City, state, and soil type
Wind is reported as the selected zone identifier and the corresponding wind pressure or speed value.

4. Support Configuration

A summary of the support type and key saddle geometry (when applicable):
FieldDescription
Support typeType of support (e.g., saddle, leg, skirt, lug)
Saddle heightHeight from base to vessel centerline
Saddle locationLongitudinal position of the saddle along the vessel

How Print / Export Works

When you click Imprimir / Exportar, PSI executes the following steps programmatically:
  1. Captures the inner HTML of the Summary Report section.
  2. Opens a new browser window (window.open) sized at 900 × 700 px.
  3. Copies all <link rel="stylesheet"> and <style> elements from the main document into the new window so the report inherits the full application stylesheet.
  4. Appends a @media print rule that hides elements marked .no-print (such as navigation, sidebars, and the print button itself) and defines page breaks.
  5. Writes the complete HTML to the new window and calls window.print() after a 250 ms delay to ensure stylesheets are loaded.
Because the new window includes all application styles, the printed report matches the visual appearance of the on-screen summary.
The Imprimir / Exportar button itself carries the .no-print class, so it is automatically hidden in the printed output.

Tips for Best PDF Output

For the highest-quality PDF export, use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.In the print dialog, apply these settings:
  • Margins: None or Minimum
  • Background graphics: Enabled (to preserve card backgrounds and color coding)
  • Paper size: A4 or Letter, depending on your region
Some browsers (especially Firefox and Safari) may render fonts or card borders differently in the print preview. If the output does not look as expected, switch to Chrome or Edge before exporting.
