Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant Modeler Version(s): 08.11.11.238 Environment: Windows 7/8/10 (64 bit) Area: Component Subarea: Placement Original Author: Kunal Kiran, Bentley Product Advantage Group Overview To show Isolation Gasket in Isometrics generated from i-models created from OpenPlant Modeler Problem Description In OpenPlant Modeler, sometimes it could be the modeler's choice or as per project specific requirement it has been envisioned to place Isolation Gaskets in the model. Currently Openplant Modeler does not include any such Isolation Gaskets in its library. Isolation gaskets are used to stop the current flow across metallic pipelines by separating two flanges. The isolation of the pipeline segments allows cathodic protection for underground and above ground pipelines to control the stray electric current flow. Steps to Resolve Launch Bentley Class Editor and open OpenPlant_3D schema supplemented with >OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling.01.07.ecschema.xml >OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_ModelingViews.01.07.ecschema.xml >OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Metric_DefaultValues.01.07.ecschema.xml >OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Information_3DComponent.01.07.ecschema.xml Go to Classes -> Plant Base Object -> Joint Right Click on Joint Type in the Class pane and Add Element Scroll down to the new Joint Type created and Add Element on End Preparation 1, End Preparation 2, and, Fastener Add the following details in respective fields Joint name- ISOLATION GASKET JOINT End Preparation 1[0]- FLANGED End Preparation 2[0]- FLANGED Fastener[0]- GASKET Is Fastener Spec Driven- True Save the Schema and Exit Go to your Spec and change SHORT_DESCR field of a GASKET to “Iso Gasket”; say in mA1-OPM Save the Spec Launch OpenPlant Modeler and choose the Spec just edited; here mA1-OPM Place a Weld Neck Flange (here of Nominal Diameter of 150mm) on a pipe A Joint Selection dialog box pops up Select ISOLATION GASKET JOINT form the box In the Joint Item Insertion box select the gasket with the name “Iso Gasket” Click on the Gasket and view its Element Information Launch OpenPlant Isometric Manager and go to Configuration -> Isometric Style -> Advanced -> Open Report Definition In the report.def file that opens up search for “REPORT= SHP” Add the text “ COLUMN = 17: R : SHORT_DESCRIPTION “ under the text “COLUMN = 7: R : SIZE2” in the file Search for “REPORT = FLD” Add the text “ COLUMN = 17: R : SHORT_DESCRIPTION “ under the text “ COLUMN = 7: R : SIZE2 “ Save the file and verify results in OpenPlant Isometric Manager Zoomed View: Still a Problem?
