OpenPlant Modeler CE Update 9 - Cannot search Piping Components

Hi all,

why I cannot search by base class "Piping Component" in Advanced Search in OpenPlant Modeler Connect Update 9? 

In OPM V8i SS6 I was able to do that, so I could find all descendant components like Pipe, Pipe Adapter, Pipe Elbow, etc...with a common property value (example: Service)

Thanks in advance

  • Hi IronMonkey,

    Thankyou for posting your query on Plant Technical Forum.

    As I check in V8i I didnt the same which you described so let me check internally about this requirement and I will get back to you.

  • Thanks for you reply. In OpenPlant Modeler V8i SS6 you have to go in Item Browser --> Search and uncheck the option "Show only types where items exists", the you can search for any type including the base class Piping Component (as you can see in the following pictures I take from my PC). In OPM CE you can do the same, but base classes are not displayed in combo box, so I cannot search for "Piping Component" ... I hope this is not by design since it is a very big limitation in query system...

  • Any news about this problem?

    In OpenPlantModeler.log I see these error (it they are related...):

  • Hello,

    sorry for late response. Just saw this yesterday and did some investigations. I can confirm that piping component class was available in advanced search back in V8i but now went missing in CONNECT Update 9. I am not quite sure if class was ever there in CONNECT, but this shouldn´t matter regarding your concern. Log entry doesn´t seem to be related.

    Will raise a Service Ticket. Maybe you can do the same after I posted ticket number and refer to it so you will be kept updated about the process.
