Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Version(s): 08.11.09.470 & 08.11.09.564 Environment: Windows 7 (64 bit) Area: Settings/Attributes Subarea: Original Author: Rahul Kumar, Bentley Technical Support Group To Customize Weld reports by adding desired component properties in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Background In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, weld reports can be customized in various ways. With the latest version of OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, user should be able to add the properties of piping components and some strings as per requirement in the project. Welds are required to join the two similar or dissimilar fittings or components and hence it contains different attributes based on components. So user should require to show those attributes on weld reports which are paramount. Using the LEFT and RIGHT expression features for report.def file will allow user to select/define the attributes. Using LEFT expression will pick the components/fittings which are located at the left part of weld, whereas RIGHT expression will pick for fittings/components located on the right side of weld. In case a pipe is involved in the connection LEFT will be a Pipe Information.Below steps and examples will aid user to customize their own way. Below steps has been described on adding properties like SCHEDULE, End Prep with some fixed string, say WELD. This could be realized using both AutoPLANT Modeler and OpenPlant Modeler user with OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Below has been described in context with OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Steps to Accomplish Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Select Project unit, say Metric here. Click on Configuration to launch ‘Isometric Configuration’ dialog box. From Advanced option, click on ‘Open Report Definition’ file. Note - From working project navigate to report.def file. See below default path for reference C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_METRIC\Config\OpenPlant \Isometrics \styles\IFC\config\Report.def See below weld report example when adding a property SCHEDULE and End Prep CM to it. Results in Isometrics. Note - Since all welds have one connection as pipe, it takes the LEFT value for Pipe and hence the CM value appears as PE. See below weld report example when adding a property SCHEDULE and End Prep CM for both part connected to weld. Note – Spaces between two attribute can be defined by double quotes “ “. See results below. To Map End Prep with user defined Text, Modeler can define the text in style.cfg file, which is present inside the corresponding project and styles. See below. MAPTEXT_BW = Butt Weld MAPTEXT_PE = Square Cut Add below details in report.def file, COLUMN = 20: R : MapText(LEFT(CM) COLUMN = 20: R : MapText(RIGHT(CM)) See below image for details. Save & Close files. Generate Isometrics and verify result. See image below. To get the new line for attributes under same column, user need to add a linefeed in the same line as Newline(). See below expression to add it inside the weld report. LEFT(IE_DESCRIPT) + NewLine () + LEFT(SCHEDULE) + NewLine () + LEFT(EC_CLASS) See image below: Save & Close files. Generate Isometrics and verify result. See image below. Also check the report by adding a text as WELD to report. Save & Close files. Generate Isometrics and verify result. See image below. Similarly User can have multiple scenarios to define Weld reports. From the above example one could be able to customize the reports easily.
