My concern with using Specialized templates in the OIM is that we have a very large number of types of assembly and ending up with a specialized template for each. If we just consider a pump there could be hundreds of templates. I don't agree. A pump contains streams (suction and discharge). The st...

All that Hans said is correct. However it may be the case that you can't see how it replies to Keith's question. In that case, this is what I think Hans means by it (please correct me if I'm wrong). Keith presents a question about the AssemblyOfAnIndividual Template which, so says Hans, is a templa...

I have been reviewing the new Templates and have what may well be a dumb a question on this one There are 3 roles 1) hasWhole 2) hasPart 3) hasAssemblyType The first 2 are straightforward enough but I am unclear on the third Its type is dm:ClassOfAssemblyOfIndividual and the Remarks and Examples say...

Ambient Temperature is a ClassOfIndirectProperty This is completely different approach, where you define it as a class of relationship, not a (class of) class of individual. Please remember the starting point of this discussion, where Onno asked about Amb. as a value for Normal Operating Temperatur...

A namespace URI is related to an endpoint address. It is not necessary, complex systems of local and on-line cashing can blur this relationship. Therefore it is useful to have separate namespaces per type of data as additional instrument to manage the complexity. I agree, having separate namespaces...

Hi Keith, Thanks for your response! Is there a possibility for Bentley to draft this little P&ID and build some software to achieve the same mapping results? This would be an important step forward! Regards, Hans We could manage something I'm sure As part of the Geometry SIG and MIMOSA effeors we a...

Software for the take-off and mapping from a P&ID is essential fo the success of ISO 15926. I have done it manually for a P&ID snippet showing the anti-surge controls of a centrifugal compressor, just for my education. As Victor assured me, that shouldn't be done manually. So the software folks are...

There are three kinds of property enironments: Properties of individuals through temporal parts. Ending the temporal part is the normal way of expressing that there is no property there any more. We may come to the conclusion that properties are certain classes or relationships, but that each kind ...

Hi Keith, The formal response is to end the related temporal part, but perhaps you are not using temporal parts. The workaround might be to enter a ridiculous number, like 999999, so that it is apparently wrong. Regards, Hans You are correct in that we are not using temporal parts at present but ev...

During the IIP meetings one of the topics that has been raised is the requirement to be able to transfer a nulled value for a property and there does not seem to be a method to achieve this at present. A sample workflow is as follows A Designer publishes a package of information about a plant item b...
