Is there a parameter to use in the report name/directory path to get a separate report for each design point? Or is there some other way to do this?

Now the latest update of Results cell will just overwrite the report of the previous design point. Is there a string replacement parameter or something for saving report files? Or is the design point information relied to CFD-Post somehow to use it there?

Here's how to generate a separate .html report for each design point in a WorkBench design point study using CFD-Post:
-Before running the design point study, generate an initial solution and go into CFD-Post. Create the desired user locations, plots and tables and use these to populate the Report section in CFD-Post
-On the WB project schematic, LMB on the Results cell, RMB and select "Properties". Under the properties of the Results cell, check the box "Publish Report". You can accept the default report name and location (user_files folder).
-Run the design point study. After all the design points are generated, go to File->Export Report in WorkBench. You can accept the default report name.
In the user_files folder, you'll find a new folder with the name _report_dp_reports (assuming the default report name/locations were used). In that folder, you'll find separate .html report files for each design point. The report contents will have the same information as in the report generated by CFD-Post but the formatting is slightly different.

This is an addendum to what was posted earlier. It is possible to generate reports in CFD-Post format using the above steps with the following changes:
-Under the properties of the Results cell, after checking the box "Publish Report", clear the text field under "Report Location" (the file path is set to the user_files folder by default).
-On the "Table of Design Points" under the "Parameter Set" tab in WB, make sure that the "Retain" check box is checked. This will retain all the CFX solutions.
After running the DP study, there will be separate folder for each design point in the project (i.e. dp0, dp1, dp2, etc). Under each of these folders will be a Report folder (located under dpxxx/CFX/Post/Report) containing the CFD-Post-generated report file. Note that this approach will only work if the solutions are retained. If not, then reports for each DP will only be generated using File->Export Report in WorkBench.
