Overview

For OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Weld report can be generated using Report.def file present in Config folder located in its project root. It can be experienced using both OpenPlant modeler and AutoPlant.

Problem Description

While creating weld report through report.def file to show weld tags, they were not coming in numerical order. The weld order varied from line to line. See image below for reference.

The weld tags need to be displayed in numerical order right from Top to Down. Below are the steps to achieve it in a correct way.

Steps to Resolve

Numerical order

1. Open report.def file from either by navigating the project root under Config folder or by launching the isometrics manager and using the Advanced option.
   
   
2. To get the weld tag in numerical folder, do not forget the mention the variable shown below.
   
   SORT = WELDID:N
   
   
   
   
3. Save report.def file.
   
   
4. Generate isometrics and verify results.
   
   
   
   
   

When user needs to exclude some of Weld Types, or specific classes from this report, he can do this in report.def file.

Components will be excluded, but report will be not in numerical sequencing order. Below are the steps to achieve it in a correct way.

Steps to Resolve

Sequencing order

1. Open OpenPlant_3D.01.04.ecschema.xml in Class Editor and supplement it with OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.04.ecschema.xml
   
   
2. Go to "Plant Base Object>Named Item>Device>Fastener>Weld"
   
   
   
   
3. Copy Custom attribute "Isometric Component" with Class name=CT_WELD from "WELD" Cass
   
   
4. Paste it in Class, which has to be excluded and change Custom attribute's "Isometric Component" Class name from "CT_WELD" to "CT_CONN"
   
   
   
   
5. Comment Excluded line in report.def file, reopen OPIM and generate Isometrics again
   
   

To Display Shop Weld Material

In case of shop weld material information to display, user may use below report definition and use above features to display in sequential order. 

          INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_WELD

          EXCLUDE = IE_FIELD=1
