    What is CONNECT Edition (CE)?

    This is new version of a product superseding v8i version, which is empowered with cloud based technology and driven by Microsoft Azure database in cloud.

    What are the versions for CONNECT Edition (CE)?

    Version naming starts with Update 2, 3, & so on. Latest version available on Fulfillment center is U8. Also one can refer application wise parent page for quick links.

    Is imodel for CONNECT different than imodel for v8i?

    Yes.

    What is the Name for Model Preview?

    Web Navigator.

    How to check Readme files?

    Refer Main page of Application, in introduction E.g. refer below.

    Can user change the style in OpenPlant Modeler Pipeline Manager?

    Yes, it is featured now to select desired style directly from Pipeline Manager. 

    When Update release date scheduled?

    From 2020, 2 release per year planned. First release in mid Jan and subsequent release in mid July/Aug.

    Where to download the version for CONNECT Edition?

    Readily available in fulfillment center. See Introduction page of each application. E,g OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT

    What operating systems does OpenPlant support?

    SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS - Windows 10 (64-bit).

    Does Integrated OpenPlant Support Engineering Requires additional License when used within OpenPlant Modeler?

    No License required for latest U7 release build, as it is under tech preview.

    Does Integrated OpenPlant Support Engineering Requires additional License when used within OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition Update 8?

    Yes it requires additional license. User can check Engineered Support Ribbon to use this functionality.

    Does Integrated BRCM Requires additional License when used within OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition Update 8?

    Yes it requires additional license. User can check BRCM Ribbon to use this functionality.

    Does OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT requires any sort of Microsoft Access Database Engine?

    Yes, OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT is a 64-bit architecture product. Due to this it requires Microsoft Access Database Engine to work properly.

    Can we use OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition Update 7 on a machine where Microsoft Office 32-bit applications are installed?

    Yes, OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition Update 7 can be used along with Microsoft Office 32-bit applications. Since 32-bit applications are already available to machine, in that scenario upon installation of OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition Update 7,it will install Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 (32-bit) and Microsoft SQL Server Express 2014 (32 bit) as an important prerequisites.

    How OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition decides that which version of Microsoft Access Database Engine should be installed to machine?

    Due to XDbProviderInstaller setup, it checks the already installed version of Microsoft Office. If Microsoft Office is of 64-bit then in that case it installs Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 (64-bit) only. If it detects Microsoft Office (32-bit) then it installs Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 (32-bit) along with Microsoft SQL Server Express 2014 (32-bit)

    Do we have any limitation to use OpenPlant Specification Generator CONNECT Edition Update 7 with Microsoft Office 32-bit applications?

    Yes, OpenPlant Specification Generator CONNECT Edition Update 7 requires Microsoft Access Database Engine of (64-bit). If Microsoft Access Database Engine (64-bit) is not available then it won't allow to open specs/catalogs properly. More details about this can be found in help file of OpenPlant Project Administrator CONNECT Edition.

    Is it possible to use OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition Update 7 & OpenPlant Specification Generator CONNECT Edition Update 7 along with Microsoft Office (32-bit) components in a single machine?

    Yes, we can use both the mentioned applications on a single machine where Microsoft Office 32-bit components are available. In this scenario, we need to install Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 (64-bit) as a passive mode of installation. Passive mode installation is required because it wont allow to install this setup normally when (32-bit) components of Microsoft Office are already available to machine. This will install Microsoft Access Database Engine setup in the background without showing any progress. To ensure its installation status, we need to check in control panel.

    Does BRCM integrated with OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Update 8?

    Yes.OpenPlant Modeler has included the option to include a BRCM ribbon with Raceway and Underground System design tools. The option to install the Bentley Raceway and Cable Management tools is available during the OpenPlant Modeler installation process. Use OpenPlant Project Administrator (OPPA) to configure BRCM to be used in OpenPlant Modeler for the respective workset.

    Does OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Update 8 works with PlanSight?

    Yes.

    Can we import  Tags to PlantSight?

    Yes. With new Update 8 version, it allows user to import new graphical and non-graphical tags from an external database file directly to a PlantSight iModel

    Does new Update 8 has Merge to Master feature capabilities?

    Yes. With new Update 8 version, user can run it in Microstation mode using key-in commands to wipe handler and EC data from OpenPlant Model. See what's new for more details.

    Does new Update 8 has Merge to Master feature in sheet view?

    Yes. in sheet view you can use Merge to Master. No Key-in command is required here.

    Can we check what's new section for OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition for each update?

    Yes. you can visit a section on whats new and available new features added on each update release

    what is MicroStation power platform version for OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition update 8?

    PowerPlatform CONNECT Edition update 14

    what are the ways to connect to Bentley Support team?

    User can connect Technical support team by creating Service request (Refer quick link) or via posting their queries (Forum Link) on forum link. Further Tech support team can connect via Microsoft teams or any other media
