Overview

To set Plant Area as root node for OpenPlant Model Server check-out operation.

Problem Description:

In OpenPlant ModelServer, user has created a new non-graphical root association of “Plant Area” but unable to perform check-out operation using Plant Area root node. Below wiki article will explain on creation of non-graphical root node association of Plant Area. Also, we will add Plant Area root node in OpenPlant ModelServer Items pane as well as important changes to perform check-in operation using Plant Area root node.

Steps to Resolve

A. Adding Plant Area as Non-Graphical Associated Root Node Object in Create Pipeline Dialog.

1. Launch ProjectWise Explorer & connect to your repository.
2. Navigate to your managed environment & expand your project folder. Refer below image.
   
   
   
   
3. Go to OPModeler > schemas. Select all schema using Ctrl + A, right mouse & from drop-down select Check-out as shown below.
   
   
   
   
4. Once check out operation has been performed notice “Local File Directory” path & note dms00069 folder.
   
   
   Note: The dms folder may be different at your end e.g. dms000XX.
   
   
5. Similarly, go to schemas folder of Test_Managed_Project.
6. Select all schema using Ctrl + A, right mouse & select Check-out option from drop down. Refer image below.
   
   
   
   
7. Once done notice “Local File Directory” under Document Properties tab & note dms00106 folder as shown below.
   
   Note: The dms folder may be different at your end e.g. dms000XX.
   
   
8. Now we have dms00069 folder & dms00106 that contains all necessary schemas, for our requirement schemas will be picked from these folders.
   
   Note: The dms folders may be with different name at your end, you only need to pick schemas from your dms folders
   
   
9. Launch Bentley Class Editor.
10. Navigate to your dms folder that contains OpenPlant_3D.01.07. ecschema, in this case folder is dms00106 (dms folder may be different at your end).
11. In Bentley Class Editor, open OpenPlant_3D.01.07. ecschema
    
    
    
    
12. Locate missing references from dms00069 folder (dms folder may be different at your end). Refer below images.
    
    Missing Reference OpenPlant.01.07
    
    
    Missing Reference IntegratedStructuralModel.4.00
    
    
    Missing DesignSync.01.01
    
    
    
13. Right click on OpenPlant_3D & click on Supplement Schema.
    
    
    
    
14. Supplement with OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Model_Server.01.07. ecschema & OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling.01.07. ecschema. Refer below image.
    
    
    
    
15. Click on Open.
16. Navigate to PLANT_AREA class.
17. Right click on PLANT_AREA class, from drop-down select Custom Attributes > Add/Remove. Refer below image.
    
    
    
    
18. Under Add/Remove Custom Attributes dialog, search for Creation Attribute custom attribute, using add arrow icon add this custom attribute as shown below.
    
    
    
    
19. Under same Add/Remove Custom Attributes dialog, select Plant Area Definition Class custom attribute, using remove arrow icon remove this custom attribute & select OK. Refer image as shown below.
    
    
    
    
20. Now navigate to Associated Item List for Piping Network System class, switch to Properties tab. Click on Add > New as shown below
    
    
    
    
    
21. Enter property name as PLANT_AREA as shown below.
    
    
    
    
22. Select PLANT_AREA property, click on Custom Attributes > Add/Remove to add Associated Item Relationship custom attribute as shown below.
    
    
    
    
23. Search for Associated Item Relationship custom attribute, using add arrow icon add this custom attribute & click OK. Refer below image.
    
    
    
    
24. Under Associated Item Relationship custom attribute, enter Relation to Use name as PLANT_AREA_HAS_NAMED_ITEM. Refer image as shown below.
    
    
    
    
25. Save all the changes.
26. Go to ProjectWise Explorer, navigate to your base schema folder of workspace. Select all schemas using Ctrl + A, right mouse & from drop down select Check-in. Refer below image on the same.
    
    
    
    
27. Similarly, navigate to your project schema. Select all schemas using Ctrl + A, right mouse & from drop down select Check-in. Refer below image on the same.
    
    
    
    
28. Open a document in OpenPlant Modeler & verify the changes. Refer below image.
    
    

B. Adding Plant Area as Root Node in Open Plant ModelServer Items Tree

1. Launch OpenPlant Project Administrator, select your project & click on settings as shown below.
   
   
   
   
2. Navigate to ModelServer UI & click on Add icon as shown below.
