Dear all,
1. we are using OPM Version 440. In the spec I have defined the bolts according the Definition. For DN 50 it Looks as follows:
so I have two different lengths of 80 and 90 mm. Bolt of length 80mm should be used for FL-FL Connections and 90mm for FL-WAFER-Comp-FL Connections.
While placing a flange couple though I have the possibility to Chose between the two bolts via the spec grid as you can see below:
so the calculated length must be under 80 mm and I can Choose between the two values 80 and 90. I guess this is the Default Setting.
Is there any possibility though to force OPM to choose the bolt with the Minimum applicable length in this case the 80mm bolt?
2. How can I see the bolt properties, for all other component it is just a double click on the element but for bolts I can only see them in the item browser?
It is very difficult to associate the bolt in the model with the entries in the item browers
Thanks a lot for your Support.
Best regards
Hi Souren,
1. Can you please attach the snapshot again? Also, add below variable in your project PCF file and see if it works for you.
OPM_AUTO_BOLT_SELECTION = 1
You can also refer few wiki articles posted on the subject.http://communities.bentley.com/products/plant/design___engineering/w/plant_design_and_engineering__wiki/29609.to-select-set-of-bolt-length-in-spec-grid-after-calculation-in-openplant-modeler

2. You can just select the bolt and click i button in the ribbon as shown below and it will open Element Information dialog.
Hope this helps!

Dear Harpreet,
thanks a lot for your answer.
1. Unfortunately the entry "OPM_AUTO_BOLT_SELECTION =1" in the pcf file didn't solve the Problem, I still have both lengths in the spec grid as shown below :
are there any other possibilities?
2. Thanks a lot, I thought I had tested this way, that is realy easy
Best Regards
