How to Map OpenPlant PID 2D Component's Class with AutoPLANT 3D Component's Class

Overview

OpenPlant PID projects can be linked with AutoPLANT projects in order to synchronize all data to database. In AutoPLANT Modeler is possibility to map all OpenPlant PID 2D Piping and Equipment components to 3D and recreate 2D model using 3D components in AutoPLANT. Using 2D to 3D mapping browser you can easily place any in OpenPlant PID used component, but if there was created any Custom component with new Custom Class, then this new class should be mapped with 3D component class in AutoPLANT. In below steps you will find information how to map OpenPlant PID& 2D component class with AutoPLANT 3D component class.

In this wiki article you can find detail steps of how to create custom valve component:
how to create custom angle valve in oppid

For testing purposes new custom valve component GT_VLV_T1 was created:

But using 2D to 3D tool in AutoPLANT's new Model, same valve placement is not working and giving PSYS0702 error:

This is because of missing custom valve class mapping with AutoPLANT valve class

Steps to resolve:

1. Open BASECLASSMAP or EQUIPCLASSMAP table in your database
   If Access database provider is used, then this table can be found in Projdata.mdb file, which is located in AutoPLANT project's directory (C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_IMPERIAL\Projdata\)
   
   
   If SQL database provider is used, then this table can be found in database directory using SQL Management Studio software.
   
   
   
   
2. Find AutoPLANT component class which is suitable for required mapping with OpenPlant PID 2D component and copy that record.
3. Paste copied cells at the end of table list and edit them accordingly with required OpenPlant PID class name and AutoPLANT class name if required.
   
   
   
4. Save your changes and close table
5. Launch AutoPLANT Modeler and test 2D component placement from 2D to 3D Browser
