Generate Spool ID
The Pipeline Manager provides an option to assign Spool ID's to selected pipeline components. This property holds the unique id of the spool it belongs to, components that share the same spool id belong to the same spool.
The 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. When you use the AutoGenerate Spool ID option, the id is assigned to the pipeline components as shown:
In addition to these two properties a SPOOL_COUNT property has been added to pipeline that tracks the number of spool defined in a pipeline.
- AutoGenerate Spool Ids: Clears out previous spools if any, and regenerates the spools.
- Clear Spool Ids: Clears out all spools from the pipeline.
- Update Spool Ids: Use this option if you have already generated spool ids for some of your components and want these to be retained while the system refreshes the spools. This will try to keep any valid spool ids that were generated in a previous run, or assigned by the user.
The Spools are generated using a spool breaking criteria. In OpenPlant Modeler we have three criteria which decide if the component is a field or part of a shop spool.
