Two preformatted reports are included. The first summarizes the


input data, and presents the calculation results. The second
includes a timeline, calculated using 60 "time slices" at a userinput interval.
Because this is a spreadsheet, it's easy to customize the reports.
Add your logo and address.
The report formats complement chemengsoftware's other
products such as PIPESIZE, VentManifold, ELASCTR, and
others.
