Sometimes while placing components in OpenPlant Modeler an error message appears in the message center as shown below:
Reason for this error, in most cases, that component record is missing in the spec table. However, in some cases this message appears even though records are there in the spec. In this article we will discuss different cases where spec records exists but still application is unable to find them.
When placing a mating flange, bolts and gasket are not placed and fail with the same message even though spec has records for both.
Reason for this error is that Rating value for FALNGE, BOLT and GASKET in spec is written as CL150. But in schemas, CL150 is mapped to 150LB in RATING_VALUE_MAP class and because of this software tries to find 150LB rating in specs which it doesn't find and hence fails. Below is the snapshot for RATING_VALUE_MAP class.
Instead of using the value map, pick the rating values directly from specs for FLANGE, BOLT and GASKET. Below are the steps to do that.
