Revision 14 posted to AutoPLANT | AXSYS | OpenPlant | PlantWise Wiki by Devendra Warke on 9/18/2019 9:11:14 AM

 In AutoPLANT, “Nozzle” can be placed from piping module. In order to make the properties of piping nozzle available in OPIM, we need to map these properties in the schema.


Review property names in AutoPLANT

In AutoPLANT, you can check the component properties by Double-clicking the respective component.

The most relevant properties to be mapped are the Tag properties (see below) with internal names: TAGNUMBER and TAG.
           


Steps to Follow


A. Map Piping nozzle properties in Schema

  1. Launch Class Editor and open‘OpenPLANT_3D.01.08.ecshema.xml’ from project location.
    Ex: For Default Metric project, C:\ProgramData\Bentley\PlantV8i\BentleyPlantV8iProjects\SAMPLE_METRIC\Config\OpenPlant\schemas.

  2. Expand Classes  >Plant Base Object >Named Item >Device >Piping and Instrument Component > Piping Component>Pipe nozzle
  3. Click on “Properties” tab.
  4. Search "EQUIPMENT_TAG". Then click on ‘Override’ button to override its definition.(If the Property appears in Blue Colour it means that it is already Overridden)

  5. Click Custom Attributes -> Add/Remove.
  6. From the list of Custom Attributes find “AutoPLANT_PDW_Property_MAP”. And Use Down arrow button to add AutoPLANT_PDW_Property_MAP to “Applied custom attributes.” See image below:

  7. Click OK.
  8. A New property map is added to the "EQUIPMENT_TAG" property definition. See image below:


    For “PropertyName” (highlighted above), Type “TAG” (which is the Auto PLANT property which needs to map to Equipment_Tag)
    This same procedure needs to follow for the “NUMBER” property (which needs to map to the AutoPLANT “TAGNUMBER” property
  9. Search “NUMBER” (under properties tab). Then Click on "Override" button to override its definition (If the Property appears in Blue Colour it means that it is already Overridden)
  10. Click Custom Attributes->Add/Remove
  11. From the displayed list find “AutoPLANT_PDW_Property_MAP”

  12. Use Down arrow button to add AutoPLANT_PDW_Property_MAP to “Applied custom attributes.”

  13. Click on OK.
  14. The new property map is added to the “NUMBER” property definition



    For “PropertyName” (highlighted above), Type “TAGNUMBER” (which is the Auto PLANT property to which you want to map Number)

    The Auto PLANT “TAG” property is also mapped to another property in schema: “ORDER_NUMBER”. This appears to create a conflict. Because ORDER_NUMBER is not used in Iso creation process, we need to remove TAG as data source for “ORDER_NUMBER

  15. Search “ORDER_NUMBER” (under properties tab). And click on "Override" button to override its definition.
  16. Remove Property Name value “TAG” from "AutoPLANT_PDW_Property_MAP"& "AutoPLANT_PDW_Catalogue_Property_MAP" attributes.

  17. Save the Schema changes and exit Class Editor.

B. Specify a User Label

To reflect the above schema changes in a connection label for the Pipe Nozzle, the user needs to specify a User label in Open Plant Isometric Configuration Manager. 

  1. Launch Open Plant Isometric Configuration Manager.

  2. Select the respective Isometric style and pick the category “User Labels”.
  3. Click the Green button "+".



  4. Specify label definition as shown below:





  5. Save and Close the configuration manager.



    To verify the results, Create an Isometric from a pipeline that connects to a Pipe Nozzle.

AutoPLANT Modeler

 Version(s):08.11.14.124
 Environment:Windows 7,8.1,10 (64 bit)
 Area:Modeling
 Subarea:Insulation Color
Original Author:Devendra Warke

Background

Pipe Insulation is one of the primary attributes that the user would like to modify. The article sheds light over how we can set numerous attributes relating to Pipe Insulation like Insulation Colour, Insulation Thickness, Insulation Layer, Insulation Line Style:etc.

These settings when done will be applicable on project level which will be populated throughout the project.

How to Accomplish

1. Browse to location for the respective Project: -
 
    Default Location for the Project - C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_IMPERIAL\Config

2. Open “config.ini” file present in that location.

    

3. Find “INSULATION”

     

 Once you find these, we can see that we have different variables for Insulation Thickness, Insulation Spec, Insulation Layer, Colour and Line Style. We can edit the default values and set the values as per our         requirements.
 Check the below image: - 

  

  These Syntaxes will be present in “[Piping.SysPaths] “section: -

To Discuss various Format specifier to be used in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. 

Background

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, various properties/attributes requires a unique format to display in isometrics drawing. Below are few case which help user to assign properties with specific format.  It can be experienced using both OpenPlant modeler and AutoPlant Modeler. This has been shown in context with OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. However similar approach could be utilized for AutoPLANT modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, with checking the style folder with different storage paths. Many values are specified in decimal inches, that are required to display it in Feet-Inch-Fraction format. Below example will show it for Olets here.

The different display output formats for a single property make it difficult to use a global format configuration. Therefore a method has been designed to directly specify the display format when the property in question is referenced. In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager a component property is referenced in one of two ways depending on the use scenario

  • $(<property name>)
  • <Property name>

Internally each property is stored as a string and with the above references a trimmed string is output. A format specifier can be added to the property name separated by a colon.

<property name>:<format specifier>

The specifier character defines how the property is interpreted;



[flags][width][.precision]specifier

The sub specifier flags, width and precision are optional and follow these conventions.

See Examples below

Example: the property SHEETNO = 2 can be formatted as integer

Example: the property angle = 89.250089 can be output as

Example: the property LENGTH = 31.675 can be output as

Example: the property CM1 = BW can be formatted as string

Steps to Accomplish

  1. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.
  2. Select Project unit, say OPModeler_Imperial here and click OK.
  3. Click on ‘Configuration’ Icon to launch Isometric configuration dialog box.



  4. From Isometric configuration dialog box, select “User Labels”. Check Olet defined here.
    Text used here as : $(SIZE2)” x $(SIZE1)”



  5. Check Isometrics Below.  Some property displays in decimal even after implementation of IMPERIAL Format through style.cfg file.



  6. Change text as per image shown below.
    Text : $(SIZE2) x $(SIZE1:I)



    Note –
    User can also try specifier F for Feet-Inch-Fraction display.

  7. Save labels and check result.
