Upgrade to OPM
Click to add
OpenPlant Modeler (OPM) information to existing
PDW specs enabling you to use your existing PDW specs in
OpenPlant Modeler. The Upgrade to OPM option can
be executed without the need to open these specs in
OpenPlant Specification Generator (i.e. these
upgraded specs can be used in
OpenPlant Modeler as native
OpenPlant Modeler specs without any further
interaction using Specgen.)
When PDW specs are upgraded, the following information is
added to piping tables in the spec:
- EC_CLASS_NAME: This field is added for all valid OPM component records. This means all PDW classes in the spec that have been mapped to OPM classes in the schema will have an OPM class name added to them.
- OPERATOR table is generated from PDW valve data. This table is required by OPM to add topworks along with/on valves in OpenPlant Specification Generator component insertion workflow.
Note: Though the
Upgrade to OPM option will convert a typical
PDW spec to OPM spec that can be used in
OpenPlant Modeler, it doesn't update Specgen
specific tables to the OPM format. So user still has to either rebuild spec
with
OpenPlant Modeler catalogs or use the
Open Exchange Spec option to use this spec in
Specgen.
