    Add Material Data To Isogen Bill Of Materials - Example Tag [TN]

    Applies To 
    Product(s): AutoPLANT Isogen
    Version(s): XM, V8i
    Environment:  N/A
    Area:  N/A
    Subarea:  N/A
    Original Author: Joey Bertone, Bentley Technical Support Group

    Overview

    AutoPLANT XM and V8i can add data from component specs to Isogen bill of materials by using Project Administrator and editing the mld file. The previous version AutoPLANT 2004 required edit to ebs script files to add the data. A brief sample of data that can be added is Tag, Stype, Gtype, Main Size, and Paint Code.

    Select the Data To Be Pass to Isogen

    First "Tag" needs to be added as a field to be passed to isogen. Use Project administrator to add the select "Tag" as the field to pass to Isogen bill of materials.

     Use project administrator to enable the TAG parameter to be passed to isogen.

    1. Open Project administrator
    2. Expand the project
    3. Expand the Isogen section
    4. Go to System
    5. Find the Material Data and Material Criteria lists under the System Options section of the systems page
    6. In Material Data and Material Criteria lists find and check TAG in both lists.

     

    Edit the .MLD File

    The .MLD file must be edited to add the data to the Isogen bill of materials.

    Edit the .MLD file to reference the Tag data.

    1. Open Project administrator
    2. Expand the project
    3. Expand the Isogen section
    4. Go to Input
    5. Edit the Material List Definition
    6. Under the section STYLE2-DATA-ITEMS add "'-81' 88 N" to the bottom of the list. The list should look like the following when using the default .MLD file.
      STYLE2-DATA-ITEMS
      'PT-NO' 2 N
      '-21' 8 L 50
      'N.S.' 65 N
      'QTY' 77 N
      '-81' 88 N
    7. The material list will now output the Tag Data 88 characters from left. For more information about material list customization please see Material Lists mld.ppt file located at C:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant XM\Help\Isogen\isotrain.zip.

    Additional Information

    Please note that the -81 to -89 references are for user defined material definitions. If multiple items are checked then reference number may change which data field it outputs to the isogen material list i.e. -81 will may no longer output Tag and instead output another checked material reference. Please experiment to find the correct reference.
