Problem Description

Wafer connection of components having different FACING/RATING values is not allowed in OpenPlant Modeler even though the mapping of those Facing/Rating is defined in the PCF file as shown below.



Even though ratings PN10 and PN16 are mapped in the PCF file but it still shows below error.

Steps to Resolve

  1. Load OpenPlant_3D schema in class editor and OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling schema.

  2. Go to JOINT class as shown below.



  3. In the OpenPlant_Physical_JointType_Map custom attribute, locate WAFER_JOINT.



  4. Expand Match Property node as shown below.



  5. Replace "FACING" with below expression in Match Property[0] field.

    Bentley.Building.Mechanical.JointLibrary.JointValidationScript(OPM_MATCH_PROPERTY_MAP_FACING,FACING)



  6. Similarly replace "RATING" with below expression in Match Property[1] field.

    Bentley.Building.Mechanical.JointLibrary.JointValidationScript(OPM_MATCH_PROPERTY_MAP_RATING,RATING)



  7. Save the changes in schema and verify the result in OpenPlant Modeler by placing different facing/rating wafer connection.
