Problem Description

With CONNECT Edition release, when assigning spool numbers, OpenPlant Modeler does not assign spool numbers to components that are connected through Weldolet. It has been observed that DN 50 pipe and the DN 50 flanges left out and no spool number is assigned. It is also not possible to assign a spool number to those components individually, other than modifying the component itself.

          

Below steps has been illustrated to allow small bore size component to generate spool ID.

Steps to Resolve

  1. Go to OpenPlant Project Administrator Application. Select the correct Workset, right click on OpenPlant Modeler application and select ‘Explore here’.



  2. Open Modeler.cfg file.



  3. Navigate to variable OPM_MIN_SPOOL_ND. See below default value as 50 here.



  4. Change it to 25.



  5. Save & Close.
  6. Launch OpenPlant Modeler and verify result. See below Pipeline Manager dialog where spool ID gets generated for DN50 size components.
