    How to Add Piping Component Properties on Weld Reports

    Applies To 
    Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
    Version(s): 08.11.09.XXX (SS5) | 08.11.11.XXX (SS6)
    Environment:  Windows 7/8.1/10 (64 bit)
    Area:  Settings/Attributes
    Subarea:  Configuring BOM and Reports
    Original Author: Rahul Kumar, Bentley Product Advantage Group

    This document outlines how to customize Weld Reports by adding desired component properties in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

    Background

    In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager weld reports can be customized in various ways. With the latest version the user should be able to add the properties of piping components and some strings as per the requirement in the project. Welds are required to join the two similar or dissimilar fittings or components and hence it contains different attributes based on components. So the user should require to show those attributes on Weld Reports which are paramount.

    Using the LEFT and RIGHT expression features for report.def file will allow the user to select and define the attributes. Using LEFT expression will pick the components/fittings which are located at the left part of the weld whereas the RIGHT expression will pick the fittings/components located on the right side of the weld. In case a pipe is involved in the connection LEFT will be a Pipe Information. Please find below steps and examples that will aid the user to make their own customizations..

    The steps below has been described for adding properties like Schedule, End Prep with a fixed string, for example: WELD. This could be realized using both AutoPLANT Modeler and OpenPlant Modeler used with OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. The notes below are in regard to the OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager applications.

    Steps to Accomplish

    Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager's Isometric Configuration dialog

    1. For OpenPlant Modeler - OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
      1. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Select Project unit, say Metric here.
      2. Click on Configuration to launch ‘Isometric Configuration’ dialog box.


      3. From Advanced option, click on ‘Open Report Definition’ file.

        Note
        - From working project navigate to report.def file. See below default path for reference
        C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\Isometrics\Styles\IFC\Config

    2. For AutoPLANT Modeler - OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
      1. Open Project Administrator select the working project and click Create/Modify button

        Note - From working project navigate to report.def file. See below default path for reference
        C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_METRIC\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\IFC\config

      2. From Advanced option, click on ‘Open Report Definition’ file

    Adding a property SCHEDULE and End Prep CM to it. 

    1. See image below:
    2. Results in Isometrics.



      Note -Since all welds have one connection as pipe, it takes the LEFT value for Pipe and hence the CM value appears as PE.

    Adding a property SCHEDULE and End Prep CM for both part connected to weld. 

    1. See image below:

      Note
      – Spaces between two attribute can be defined by double quotes “ “.

    2. See results below.

    To Map End Prep with user defined Text,

    1. Modeler can define the text in style.cfg file, which is present inside the corresponding project and styles. See below.
      MAPTEXT_BW = Butt Weld
      MAPTEXT_PE = Square Cut


    2. Add below details in report.def file,
      COLUMN = 20: R : MapText(LEFT(CM)
      COLUMN = 20: R : MapText(RIGHT(CM))

    3. See below image for details.
    4. Save & Close files. Generate Isometrics and verify result. See image below.

    To show adjoining components part id in weld report

    1. User needs to add part id's of adjoining components in weld report. It can be achieved by adding below fields in weld report.

      COLUMN = 15:L:LEFT(CM) + "-" + RIGHT(CM) 
      COLUMN = 15:L:LEFT(PARTID) + "-" + RIGHT(PARTID)
    2. Modify weld report as shown below.



    3. Save & Close files. Generate Isometrics and verify result. See image below. 

    To get the new line for attributes under same column

    1. User need to add a linefeed in the same line as Newline(). See below expression to add it inside the weld report. 
      LEFT(IE_DESCRIPT) + NewLine () + LEFT(SCHEDULE) + NewLine () + LEFT(EC_CLASS)

    2. See image below:


    3. Save & Close files. Generate Isometrics and verify result. See image below.


    4. Also check the report by adding a text as WELD to report. 


    5. Save & Close files. Generate Isometrics and verify result. See image below.


    Similarly User can have multiple scenarios to define Weld reports. From the above example one could be able to customize the reports easily.
