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
