    How to convert Cable Tray Specification to a Catalog in OpenPlant Specification Generator.

      Product(s): OpenPlant Modeler 
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Specification Generator
      Subarea: Convert to Catalog.

    Background

    In OpenPlant Modeler there are set of default specifications for the creation of piping and cable tray models.
    One such specification database is mCablet.mdb which is used for Cable Tray Nominal Pipe and Fittings.
    For modelling purposes, there is a requirement to create custom catalogs based on the specification database.
    This article explains how to convert cable tray specification to catalog.

    Steps to Accomplish

    1.Launch OpenPlant Specification Generator CONNECT edition.
    2. Select the WorkSpace and WorkSet.



    3.Click on Convert to Catalog and select the mCablet.mdb spec and click on Open.



    4.Dialog prompt to save as catalog will be displayed. Enter a suitable name for the catalog and click on Save.



    5.The spec will be converted to catalog and will be saved at the catalogs location.



    6.Click on Open and select the mCablet.mdb spec and click Open.



    7. The spec will be loaded. For components like Pipe or Tee, the count column will be displayed as 0. To define the count, constraint needs to be added.



    8. To add constraints, click on Add Classes to Section and select the constraints that needs to be added.



    9.After the constraints are added, the count values get updated.



    10. The mCablet cable tray specification will be converted to catalog.
