Reporting example

It will be nice to have an example that combines Excel, Word, PDF and Latex reporting.

I want to use Excel in real-time conjunction with an ansys tool being controlled via PyAnsys. For a specific example, lets say PyMechanical. I want to have some python modules built around PyMechanical that will allow me to push all the tree object data to an excel table: Name, Object Id, Type
Once I have this in a table, I am going to work in excel to change the names of many of the objects. I then want to click a button (or otherwise trigger) a push back to mechanical (via PyMechanical python code) the re-named values and have mechanical update the names in the tree, completing the “sync” of the data from excel to mechanical.

I know we can connect PyMechanical to a running mechanical session. I am pretty sure Excel can trigger python code to run, and receive input from python code, so seems like all the communication paths are possible.

Some food for thoughts...
