To define spool ID start point for piping arrangement in OpenPlant Modeler.
Overview
In OpenPlant Modeler, spool Id constitutes of the SPOOL_PREFIX, defined on the pipeline, and a number at the end that uniquely identifies that spool in that particular pipeline. We can define the start point for the generation of spool id from the desired piping component in proper sequence. This wiki article explains how to define spool id start point for a piping arrangement.
Problem Description
In OpenPlant Modeler, the auto-generating spool ids sequence of spool ids starts from the start point of the pipeline from where it is been modeled. The requirement is to define a start point for the generation of spool id in sequence. As shown below image, the highlighted pipe is the actual result, and the arrow shows the expected start point of a sequence.
Steps to Accomplish
- Launch OpenPlant Modeler & select your desired project.
- Model pipeline as shown.
- From the Piping Galleries, go to Generic > select Note as shown.
- A window will popup select Pipeline Start Point note from drop-down & place to desired piping component from where spool id should start.
- From Pipeline Manager, select AutoGenerate Spool Ids and click on Yes in the warning dialog as shown below.
- Verify the result as shown below. Notice spool id start point & sequence as shown below.
