Agenda

• Current state of Insulation in tools

• Goals for New Configuration

• Configuration Adjustments

• Common

• OPPID Specific

• OPM Specific

• Results in OPM and OPPID

2

Insulation Material Current StateHow Does It Work Out of the Box?

3

Current State – OpenPlant PID

• Insulation Property at Pipeline level

• Free typed field

4



• Insulation Property at PipeRun level

• Defaults to value set at Pipeline Level

• Free typed field, can overwrite default

• Changes to pipeline do not cascade to

PipeRuns after initial creation

5




• Insulation Annotation

• Shows Value set at PipeRun level

• If value is changed at the PipeRun,

annotation updates

6





• Valves / Inline Devices

• Does not have any default value

• Free typed field

7

Current State – OpenPlant Modeler


• Restricted to Defined Picklist

• User values can not be added

8




• Does not exist (at least not in a useful

way)

9




• During Component Placement

• Standard Preference Bar defaults to

pipeline value

• Can reselect based on Picklist

10



• Insulation Property at Pipe Run level

• During Component placement

• Insulation Property of Piping Components

• Inherits value from standard

preference during placement

• Can be re-selected from picklist

• Any change to pipeline Resets

component

11


• Managing Picklist Values

• Schema Value map

• Requires admin access

• Not shared with other tools

12

Current State – Summary

The OpenPlant Tool Suite manages Insulation differently across tools causing confusion and inconsistency in the project team.

Goal State

14

Goal of Insulation Configuration

• PID Users and Piping Routers restricted to common list

• Allow for different Insulation specification methods

• Material

• Class

• Purpose

• Administration of the Picklist by the Project Engineering Staff

Common ConfigurationDefining Picklist Values

17

Picklist from MDB File in Managed Workspace

• Table For Each Picklist

• Required Fields

• Insulation Code - Values

• Description – Hint Text

• Additional field for SQL Selection - Optional

Project Engineer Updates by adding and removing Rows

18

OpenPlant PID Configuration

19

• Project Config File Update

• Schema Updates for Picklist

• Schema Updates for Cascading of Value

OpenPlant PID ConfigurationProject Config file

• Add variable that points to folder containing the MDB file#-------------------------------------------

#Database setup for Picklists

#-------------------------------------------

DATA_CONNECTION= $(_USTN_PROJECTDATASET)

20

OpenPlant PID ConfigurationSchema Updates for Picklist

Schema: OpenPlant_PIDClass: PIPING_NETWORK_SYSTEMProperty: INSULATION

• Add Custom Attribute: External Data Source Definition Mapping

Recommend isolating these changes to Project/Division specific supplemental schemas. 21


Data connection string : above value is required for MDB file.

File Name : Full name of MDB file

Path Location: Variable defined in the Project Config file



SQL Select Statement: SELECT FROM

• Multiple properties can be included and will be shown during selection.

Property Mapping: Defines which field from select statement is stored.



• Add Custom Attribute: Extend Type

Recommend isolating these changes to Project/Division specific supplemental schemas.

24

• Set Name to “ShowPickListviewDataBase”

OpenPlant PID ConfigurationSchema Updates for Cascading of Value

• Existing Notify sets Insulation Property of PipeRun on Creation

• Change “Cascade Property Value Change” to True

• Set Insulation at Pipe Run class to read only


25

OpenPlant Modeler Configuration

26

• Create New Custom Attribute

• Project Config File Update

• Schema Updates for Picklist

• Schema Updates for Cascading of Value

OpenPlant Modeler ConfigurationCreating New Custom Attribute

Schema: OpenPlant_CustomAttributes.08.11

27

OpenPlant Modeler ConfigurationCreating New Custom Attribute

Schema: OpenPlant_CustomAttributes.08.11

28

OpenPlant Modeler ConfigurationProject Config file

• Add variable to point to the MDB file

#-------------------------------------------

#Database setup for Picklists

#-------------------------------------------

DATABASE_CONNECTION= Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source =

$(_USTN_PROJECTDATASET)OpenPlant_Picklists.mdb

29

OpenPlant Modeler ConfigurationSchema Updates for PicklistSchema: OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_ModelingClass: PIPING_NETWORK_SYSTEMProperty: INSULATION

• Add Custom Attribute: External Database Query


30

OpenPlant Modeler ConfigurationSchema Updates for Picklist

• Config. Var. for Connection String - Variable defined in Project Config File

• Default Value- required entry, does not have to be in list

• SQL Query – can only include single field in select statement

• Pick First Entry From the List –option to use list entry as default

31

OpenPlant Modeler ConfigurationSchema Updates for PicklistSchema: OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_ModelingClass: PIPING_NETWORK_SYSTEMProperty: INSULATION

• Modify Extend Type Custom attribute to SQL_QUERY

32

OpenPlant Modeler ConfigurationSchema Updates for Cascading of ValueSchema: OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_ModelingClass: PIPING_COMPONENTProperty: INSULATION

• Remove Extend Type Custom Attribute

• Remove Lookup Value Map Custom Attribute

• Remove Standard Preference Custom Attribute

33

OpenPlant Modeler ConfigurationSchema Updates for Cascading of ValueSchema: OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling_ViewsClass: PIPING_COMPONENTProperty: INSULATION

• Change Property Display Status Custom Attribute to read-only

BEFORE AFTER

Insulation Material After StateWhat have we achieved?

36

After State – OpenPlant PID


• +Selected from Picklist

• -Can still be typed over with non-

picklist values

37




• Inherits value from Pipeline Level

• Read only

• Updates when Pipeline Value is

changed

38





• Not changed

• Valves / Inline Devices

• Not changed

39

After State – OpenPlant Modeler


• Restricted to Picklist defined in MDB

• User values cannot be added

40




• No Change

41




• During Component Placement

• Standard Preference Bar does not

show Insulation material but still

shows thickness

42




• During Component placement

• Insulation Property of Piping Components

• Inherits value from Pipeline

• Read only

43

After State – OpenPlant Modeler/PIDAdding Picklist Values

44

• Add/Remove Values in MDB table

• Re-open Pipeline Dialog (no need to

close and re-open)
