OpenPlant Modeler And Isometric Manager - Customizing Weld Point on Weldolet

HI 

I would to customize weld point final out come in Isometric for Weldolet.

I tried by changing symbol cell in Isometric it is not affecting Weld point outcome in Isometric I think.

Weld-point Label suppression may not work for me, as I only would like omit one weld point Number -1 in attached figure.

Please reply for any suggestion.

Regards,

  • Hi Vivek,

    This is possible but it also requires some work. The reason the weld is there is because OPM puts a weld in that location. In order to drop that weld in OPIM you can use the following strategy:

    • In OPM modify the weld TYPE to a custom created type or use one of the types you would not normally employ like "OFFSHORE"
    • in the isometrics supplemental schema go to the Weld Types class and select the properties tab
    • select the weld type you intend to use for the weld to drop
    • Add/change the Isometric Vallue Map to a value with the word SKIP in it. As an example for the OFFSHORE weld type you could change the value map to SKIPME

    In OPIM welds with SKIP as part of the cell name will be removed.
    As a follow up question I would like to know why you would want to skip that weld as particularly in that location costly welding is required.

  • Thanks a lot Frank,

    We are one step near to our solution,

    Going one more step ahead,

    I am able to suppress specific type of weld coming out for Isometric,
    But is there any way to predefine the type of weld for olet, specially for weldolet, 
    So user no need to edit manually the weld type in OPM, 

    Basically we are moving from PlantSpace to OpenPlantModeler,

    We would like to replicate UBR (Un-reinforcement branch) component in OpenPlantModeler, 

    Best options we found is UBR with auto branch, but it is not having any independent geometry as UBR was having in PlantSpace,

    But Isometric for it coming as ideal as we want. 

    Another nearest solution we found is Weldolet, having geometry in OPM environment,

    But only constraint is to suppress one weld point as it is coming out as two weld point in Isometric, which I think resolve now.


    Please have a look at attached actual component we are trying to achieve in OPM,
    Please also suggest for any best solution for the same.

    With Thanks And Regards,
    Vivek.


     

  • Hello Vivek, 

    Thanks for bringing this up here. However, on implementation of Pulled Tee/Pulled branch in OpenPlant Modeler, we have filed an Enhancement Request # 191902. Submitting this for your information and future reference please.
