AP OPIM - Valve operator spindle direction?

I am trying to show valve operator spindle direction, but I cannot find the setting. I tried to enable valve operator label, but it only shows operator name, like "HAND_WHEEL" (expecting SPINDLE NORTH  or SPINDLE UP, etc) . How and where can I do the setting?

Thanks,

Maggie

  • Hello Maggie, 

    Are you trying it with angle 90, 180 etc?. For angles other than 90, 180, you can get the orientation automatically. Please give a try on it. See image below.

    You could also use user labels to get the Spindle word along with it, but only with non planar directions. See below settings:



    To get the same on standard orientation like 90, 180 etc, you may create a Service request. We will take this with development guys.

  • I can see when angle is not "straight" it will output with operator name, the straight angle - east, west, south, north, up and down is important. In the mean time, operator name is not as important, we don't want it to be output.
  • Has this enhancement been implemented? Our group requires the same enhancement. Is there an ETA for the enhancement to be completed if not already?
  • Hi,

    This is still to be implemented but meanwhile you can refer below link as a workaround.

    Hope this helps!

  • Hi,

    With the Link suggested will only works with OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. In context with AutoPLANT Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, I would suggest you to create a service Request to log this for same query. This will further gets evaluated by development team and would help us to prioritize the content.

  • Do we have a fix for this, or have the ability to add the word SPINDLE before the E 30 UP in the example given above?
  • Hello Ray, 

    In OpenPlant Modeler - OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, with current release it can be managed using Component Tag attribute IE_OPDIR. See image below. 

    This is further controlled under User labels Option. See image below. 

    See results in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager: 

    However with version 08.11.09.440, You wont find this attribute. Hence you need to customize schema by creating a property with value to be used as SPINDLE: on Valve operating class and to be used on valve class to fetch the same information. See below workaround to get the information as desired. 

    1. In Class Editor, Open "OpenPlant_3D.01.04.ecschema” and supplement it with below schema. 
      OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.04.ecschema"
    2. Navigate to VALVE_OPERATING_DEVICE class & Add a new property, say SPINDLE. 
    3. Add "Calculated ECProperty Specification" custom attribute under SPINDLE property. 
    4. Add value as "SPINDLE:" and other field entries, like shown in below image. 



    5. Navigate to VALVE class. 
    6. Go to "Specific BOM Labels" Custom Attribute & change the expression as mentioned below. 

      Name - IE_OPERATOR
      Value - this.GetRelatedInstance("VALVE_HAS_VALVE_OPERATING_DEVICE:0:VALVE_OPERATING_DEVICE").SPINDLE



    7. Save & Close Schema. 
    8. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. 
    9. Launch Configuration Manager. Go to Labels option. Set the value with upper case as DOWN & UP



    10. Save settings. 
    11. Generate isometrics with same style where changes are incorporated. 
    12. Verify results. See below image.
