In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, BOM report information may require weight information along with Total weight of component and Weight summary information. Below are some settings in report.def file shown which could be utilized to get the desired output in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager BOM report.

Background

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, using OpenPlant Modeler/AutoPLANT Modeler, BOM report information may require weight information along with Total weight of component and Weight summary information. It can be achieve through modifying report.def file under style folder present under each project. Various types of reports can be created and stored under style folder, which can be later utilized by renaming the files by user. Below information will help user to achieve various types of settings using OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

Steps to Accomplish

  1. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

  2. From Configuration settings, open Isometric Dialog.

  3. From Advanced node, click on ‘Open Report definition’ file. See image below.



    Note: For AutoPLANT user, reportdef file  can be open by navigating to project path under style>config Folder, C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_METRIC\Config\OpenPlant \Isometrics \styles\IFC\config\report.def 

  4. In below report, weight description will be shown for SHOP Material & FIELD Material separately and further A TOTAL Weight will be shown in project Title block.

  5. Weight of Component has been classified under DRY_WEIGHT property and with below report definition Unit weight/Piece weight of component, Gross Weight of component will be shown.

  6. In report definition file, write Total Report to apply for Shop material as shown in below image.



  7. Write Total Report for Field Material in report definition file as shown below. 



  8. For Shop Material BOM, please modify as per below mentioned image.



  9. For Field Material BOM, please make necessary changes as shown in image below.



    Note: Weight Property may vary in case of Using AutoPLANT Modeler & OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. But here DRY_WEIGHT works.


  10. To Write a combined report for both Field and Shop material use below expression:

    REPORT = combi
    WRITE = SHP
    WRITE = TOTAL_Shop
    WRITE = FLD
    WRITE = TOTAL_Field
    TEXT = @
    TEXT = @
    NODE = 60
    END

  11. Save the Report and Verify the result by generating Isometric.


     
  12. Also to include Total weight summary using nodes and placing it on Project title block, user needs to write addition report as shown in below image. It has been assumed that user have knowledge of assigning nodes in seed file and defining it in report definition.



  13. Save & close report definition file. 

  14. Generate Isometrics and verify results. See image below.


    Additional Notes: 

    To get the weight in the report you can just use this:

    COLUMN = 10: 3R : DRY_WEIGHT

    The 3R means: display with 3 decimals accuracy and right align. This will give a uniform display 

    In order to get a total weight for all the components mentioned in a single BOM line you would use:

    COLUMN = 10: A3R :DRY_WEIGHT 

    The A3R means: display with 3 decimals accuracy, right align and accumulate all the DRY_WEIGHT values
