Background

In Bentley Class Editor CONNECT Edition, the requirement is to include the Working Point Coordinates in our record for Pipe Bend. This wiki article explains the procedure for mapping the coordinates to the properties in the OpenPlant Modeler Connect Edition.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Launch Bentley Class Editor Connect Edition.
   
   
   
   
2. Open schemas & supplemented schemas & search for class Pipe Bend.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Being on Pipe Bend Class, create three properties WORKING_X, WORKING_Y, WORKING_Z by Add options as shown
   
   WORKING_X
   
   
   
   
   WORKING_Y
   
   
   
   
   WORKING_Z
   
   
   
   
   
4. Add Custom Attribute Calculated ECProperty Specification & Category to above created Properties as shown
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. For Property WORKING_X, put the provided expression & required fields as shown
   
   this.TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX.M03/1000+this.TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX.M00*this.DESIGN_LENGTH_CENTER_TO_OUTLET_END
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. For Property WORKING_Y, put the provided expression & required fields as shown
   
   this.TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX.M07/100+this.TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX.M04*this.DESIGN_LENGTH_CENTER_TO_OUTLET_END
   
   
   
   
7. For Property WORKING_Z, put the provided expression & required fields as shown
   
   this.TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX.M11/100+this.TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX.M08*this.DESIGN_LENGTH_CENTER_TO_OUTLET_END
   
   
   
   
   
8. To verify the results. Save the Schemas & Launch OpenPlant Modeler.
   
   
   
9. Open the desired file from Workspace/Workset & place the Bend from Piping > Piping Galleries > Elbows as shown
   
   
   
   
   
10. Right click & open the properties as shown
    
    
    
    
    Thus, we can include the Working Point Coordinates in our record as shown above.
