### Reporting {#reporting}
In the following, a short overview is given on the generated reports:
- A `landing_gear_design.log` file is written within the directory of the executable
- Depending on your settings, the following output is generated and saved in the `reporting` folder, located in the directory of the aircraft exchange file:
- an HTML report in the `report_html` folder (not implemented yet)
- an HTML report in the `report_html` folder
- a TeX report in the `report_tex` folder (not implemented yet)
- an XML file with additional output data in the `report_xml` folder
- plots in the `plots` folder

### Generation of geometry file {#existing-geometry-file}
The calculated geometry data is written to the `existing_landing_gear_geometry.xml` file and can then be used if the `use_existing_geometry` flag is set to `true`.
