Hello to the OpenPlant community!
I'm looking to export a structure I've built in OpenPlant Modeler to Integrated Structural Modeling (ISM) using the Create Repository function in OpenPlant.
I get the error "The ISM_ENGINE_PATH configuration variable is set to a non-existent application. Please update the configuration variable in config\appl\StructuralModelingComponents.cfg. The ISM Import and Export features require this setting".
I've downloaded Structural Synchronizer, closed OpenPlant and tried again. Same message.
I changed the ISM_ENGINE_PATH configuration variable path in OpenPlant by Help -> Key-in Browser -> mdl silentload CFGVARS -> ISM_ENGINE_PATH to "C:\Program Files\Bentley\Engineering\Structural Synchronizer CONNECT Edition\Synchronizer\StructuralSynchronizer.exe" - what the path to the Structural Synchronizer application is on my PC - but I received the same message again.
I confirmed this change of path with the configuration file in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Users\OPModeler.ucf" which states: "ISM_ENGINE_PATH = C:/Program Files/Bentley/Engineering/Structural Synchronizer CONNECT Edition/Synchronizer/StructuralSynchronizer.exe" - the same as I changed it to in OpenPlant.
When I copy and paste the ISM_ENGINE_PATH file in my Windows Explorer it opens Structural Synchronizer as expected, so I know it's the correct path.
I have OpenPlant Modeler V8i (SELECTseries 6) Version 08.11.11.225 and Structural Synchronizer CONNECT Edition Update 2 Version 10.02.00.140.
Has anyone encountered this issue? I'm out of ideas for why this isn't working.
Thanks in advance and happy Friday!
Cheers,
Thomas
Hello Thomas,It seems that correct version of structural synchronizer is not installed, please check correct version of structural synchronizer that is compatible with OpenPlant Modeler version 08.11.11.225. You can check the correct version that is compatible with your current version of OpenPlant Modeler.
Regarding the same please refer below wiki article.
