OpenPlant Support Engineering V8 i (SELECTseries 6) Known Issues Structural objects from ProSteel will have issues with beam clamp attachment. So even though you will be prompted to select the steel object to connect the support to, if you are using a ProSteel reference file, the program will default to either free placement for the case of beam clamp placement, or to stretch mode if an assembly is being placed between a pipe and the steel, for which case you would need to use AccuDraw functionality to correctly position / stretch your clamp or support assembly. A variable (Placement.Component.ReferenceObj) is defined in the project parameters under the Project Dashboard to switch off the behavior of asking for the steel reference object The default setting for this parameter is 2 which will ask for both the pipe and steel reference. By setting this to 1, it will not ask for the steel reference object. More details on this and other variables can be found in the application help. There is currently an issue with beam clamp placement on OPM Integrated Structural Modeling Components (SMC) steel referenced through i-model which require the addition of the MS_PUBLISHDGN_CONVERTTOXGRAPHICS flag in the OPM configuration file. This should be set to 0. OPM should be restarted after adding this flag before publishing the i-model for OpenPlant Support Engineering V8i (OPSE). Workflows pertaining to interaction between OPM and OPSE should be restricted to using either .i.dgn file (i-model publishing), or through OpenPlant ModelServer (OPMS). Using .dgn files for interaction between the two products is currently not supported. Interoperability between OpenPlant products requires the use of the same schema versions. OPSE SS6 and OPM SS6 are released with schema versions 01.07. So for OPMS and i-model based workflows, the same schema versions need to be used across all products. If for any reason the older schemas (01.06) are to be used for certain projects, the following adjustments would have to be made in the OPSE project configuration files for the said project. Add a new folder "OPModeler\schemas" under the OPSE Workspace folder. Copy the following files from a workspace with the latest schemas into the new "schema" folder just created: DesignSync.01.01.ecschema.xml IntegratedStructuralModel.04.00.ecschema.xml StructuralModelingComponents.04.00.ecschema.xml Modify the OPSE project .pcf file to include the following lines: OPSE_CommonSchemaDirectories < $(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT)OPModeler/Schemas/ ISM_ECSCHEMA_DIR_PATH = $(OPSE_CommonSchemaDirectories) SMC_PRIMARY_SCHEMA = IntegratedStructuralModel
