Overview

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, to group Support based on EC Class Name.

Problem Description

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, user wanted to group support based on EC Class Name irrespective of different support Sizes. In order to achieve the desired setting, it should also display common PARTID for grouped support Class. With default configuration, see below BOM.

Below has been described in context with OpenPlant/AutoPLANT Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

Steps to Resolve

Group support based on EC Class Name

  1. In Class Editor, open “OpenPlant_3D.01.07.ecschema” & Supplement it with “OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.07.ecschema”
  2. Navigate to SUPPORT class using Search. 



  3. Check custom attribute "Isometric Component",



    & define the Item code field as this.GetClass().Name



    Note – To override the custom attribute and allow it for further modification, you can copy it from other class which has an entry for it.

  4. Save & Close Schema.
  5. Open Report.def file, which by default can be found in this location:

        C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler_Imperial\DataSet\Isometrics\Styles\IFC\Config

  6. Exclude supports from Shop Material list by adding below expressions.

    REPORT = SHP   
    # this to include only shop material
        INCLUDE = IE_FIELD = 0
        EXCLUDE = IE_TYPE = CT_WELD
        EXCLUDE = IE_TYPE = CT_SUPPORT

        COLUMN =  3: R : PARTID
        COLUMN = 19: C : QUANTITY
        COLUMN =  7: R : SIZE1
        COLUMN =  7: R : SIZE2
        COLUMN =  2:   :
        COLUMN = 60: W : IE_DESCRIPT

        GROUP  = PARTID
        SORT   = PARTID:N
        SEP    = @ 
        SORTHEADERS = 1

        TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
        TEXT = @                       Shop Materials
        TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
        Write =
    END

  7. Create new support report by adding below expressions.

    REPORT = SUP
        # this to include only support material
        INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_SUPPORT

        COLUMN =  3: R : PARTID
        COLUMN = 19: C : QUANTITY
        COLUMN =  7: R : SIZE1
        COLUMN =  7: R : SIZE2
        COLUMN =  2:   :
        COLUMN = 60: W : IE_DESCRIPT

        GROUP  = PARTID
        SORT   = PARTID:N
        SEP    = @ 
        SORTHEADERS = 0

        TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
        TEXT = @                       Support Materials
        TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
        Write =
    END

  8. Define SUP report in Combi list.

    REPORT = combi
    WRITE = SUP
       WRITE = shp
       TEXT  = @
       TEXT  = @
       WRITE = fld
       NODE = 60
    END

  9. Save & close Report.def file.
  10. Generate isometrics and verify results. See below image. 

Group support irrespective of different support Sizes

  1. Navigate to PIPE_SUPPORT class and check Specific BOM Labels custom attribute.



    Note – To override the custom attribute and allow it for further modification, you can copy it from other class which has an entry for it.

  2. Specific BOM Label custom attribute is empty and inherited from PLANT_BASE_OBJECT class, so the easiest way to add this custom attribute is by copying it from this class.



  3. Right-Click Pipe Support class and Paste copied custom attribute. In this custom attribute right-click on Attributes line and add new element.



  4. Then under custom attribute “Specific BOM Labels” add Name as SIZE1 & value as 1, as shown in image below.



  5. Generate isometrics and verify results. See below image.

        COLUMN =  7: R : SIZE1
        COLUMN =  7: R : SIZE2
        COLUMN =  2:   :

        GROUP  = PARTID
        SORT   = PARTID:N
        SEP    = @ 
        SORTHEADERS = 0

        TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------

Group supports irrespective of different support Sizes
