    How to Use Spec Default Feature in OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition


    Applies To 
    Product(s): OpenPlant Project Administrator CONNECT Edition
    Version(s):

    10.02.00.37+

    Environment:  Windows 7/8.1/10 (64-bit)
    Area:  OpenPlant Specification Generator CONNECT Edition
    Subarea:  Spec Default
    Original Author: Deepak Singh,Bentley Product Advantage Group

    In OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition, requirement is how to use spec default feature of Standard Preference in OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition.

    Background

    In OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition, a spec database has multiple records for a component & user requirement is to filter it down further upon placement in OpenPlant Modeler. For example, in below screen capture for WELD_NECK_FLANGE of 100 mm dia we have multiple records based on facing. Here requirement is to only show FF (flat face) records upon placement.

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Launch OpenPlant Project Administrator CONNECT Edition.
    2. From Configuration ribbon, select desired workset & select associated application as OpenPlant Modeler from drop down. Refer image below.



    3. From Tools ribbon select Specification Generator as shown below.



    4. From OpenPlant Modeler Specification Generator CONNECT Edition application, select File > Catalog Editor to open catalog database.
    5. Select desired catalog database & open.
    6. From Select Table, pick the desired table in this article Flange table is considered. Filter the records according as shown below.



    7. Enter Option Code value as 1 for flat face (FF) records, refer image below.



    8. Select File > Close to close the catalog database.



    9. Select File > Exit to exit from Catalog Editor interface.
    10. From OpenPlant Modeler Specification Generator CONNECT Edition application, select desired specification database & open.
    11. Select desired section in this article FLANGE. Click on Constraints to add a new constraint. Refer image below.



    12. Search for OPTIONCODE and add this constraint.



    13. For Facing whose records are FF select Option code value as 1 as shown below.



    14. Save the specification.
    15. Launch OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition to validate.
    16. Select Nominal Diameter as 100mm & evoke command for placement of Weld Neck Flange. Notice the number of records showing, refer image below.



      Currently, it shows records with multiple facings.
    1. From Standard Preference dialog, turn ON, Use Spec Defaults as shown below.



    2. Evoke the placement again & notice the list of flanges.



      Notice that only FF flanges can be seen.
