OpenPlant Modeler Help

OpenPlant WorkSets

A WorkSet is a custom OpenPlant environment or configuration. By selecting a WorkSet, you customize OpenPlant for a specific discipline, project, or task.

OpenPlant provides the following sample WorkSets which are shared between the OpenPlant Modeler, OpenPlant Support Engineering, and OpenPlant PID applications. The WorkSets are included with the installation:

  • Imperial
  • Metric
  • MixedMetric

When selecting any of the WorkSets above, the OpenPlant files and tools needed to begin modeling are available by default. In addition, the tools and toolboxes that are unrelated to that discipline are removed from the interface to avoid confusion.

Updates in Sample Worksets

Following Changes are done in Sample Worksets

  1. WorkSpaces renamed from WorkSpace to OpenPlantExample
  2. Modified tagging for the following classes, new format is as follows:
    1. Equipment: Plant Area - DeviceTypeCode - Number
    2. Nozzle: Equipment Tag - DeviceTypeCode - Number
    3. Pipeline: Plant Area - Service - Number
    4. Fluid Regulator: Plant Area - DeviceTypeCode - Number
    5. Instrument: Plant Area - DeviceTypeCode - Number
    6. HVAC Network System: Plant Area - Service - Number
  3. Introduced new piping specs with spec filter examples
    1. CS150
    2. CS300
  4. Added Alarm properties in so that they can automatically be added to Bubble when it is added to Instrument in OpenPlant PID
  5. Changes in OPModeler.dgnlib for levels and symbology (Refer to the 3D model as an Example)
  6. Introduction of new sample reports
