Background

In OpenPlant PID, strainer and other fittings are placed without bubble. Requirement is to have strainers tag with a bubble like control valves. This requires modification in the schema and can be achieved by following the process given below.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Launch class editor and load OpenPlant_PID schema.
   
   
2. Supplement it with OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Imperial schema.
   
   
3. Go to STRAINER class and switch to properties tab.
   
   
4. Add a new property and name it INSTRUMENT_BUBBLE_CLASS.
   
   
   
   
5. Add custom attribute 'Property Custom Attributes' on this property and add the values as shown below.
   
   
   
   
6. Go to DEVICE_TYPE_CODE property on the same class.
   
   
7. Add 'Notify Related Component of Property Value Change' custom attribute on it and fill the values as shown below.
   
   
   
   
8. Similarly add the same custom attribute on NUMBER property and add values as shown below.
   
   
   
   
9. Save the changes and re-open OpenPlant PID.
   
   
10. Verify the result by placing Y-Strainer on the pipe run.
