Background

This article will explain how to show elevation value of nozzle in OpenPlant Modeler & set its precision value to two-digit format.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Launch Bentley Class Editor.
   
   
2. Open OpenPlant_3D schema & supplement with OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling schema & OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling Views schema.
   
   Regarding schema opening >>> Click here
   
   
3. Navigate to Nozzle Class, switch to Properties tab as shown.
   
   
   
   
4. Click on Add > New, to add a property “Nozzle Elevation” as shown below.
   
   
   
   
5. Right Click on newly created property “Nozzle Elevation”, go to Add/Remove to add custom attribute as shown.
   
   
   
   
6. Search Calculated ECProperty Specification custom attribute, add this custom attribute using drop arrow icon as shown.
   
   
   
   
7. Similarly, add another custom attribute “Category”. Set location for both applied custom attributes as shown below.
   
   
   
   
8. Click on OK.
   
   
9. Enter the details as shown below.
   
   For Category
   
   
   
   For Calculated ECProperty Specification
   
   ECExpression: System.String.Format("{0:0.##}", this.TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX.M11/1000)
   Required ECExpression SymbolSet : System.String
   
   To add Required ECExpression SymbolSets: Right Click on Required ECExpression SymbolSet > Add Element
   
   
   
   “#” sign denotes number of digits after decimal.
   
   Note: CalculatedECProperty Specification custom attribute can be only applied on those property whose TypeName is string, it won't calculate(work) ECExpression for those property whose Typename is double.
   
   
10. Save the changes & verify the result in modeler.
    
    
11. Launch OpenPlant Modeler.
    
    
12. Place nozzle on an equipment & verify the nozzle elevation property as shown.
    
    
    
    
13. For report, navigate to nozzle list.
    
    
14. From report info tab select on extreme right of Query tab to open search dialog as shown.
    
    
    
    
15. Under Search dialog, click on include these properties as shown.
    
    
    
    
16. Under properties to include, check for Nozzle Elevation property hit OK.
    
    
17. Generate report & verify result as shown.
