Displaying Logical Diagrams

You can display the logical diagram of the system defined in the context of the Data Information panel.


Before you begin: Open a physical reference and its associated logical reference with implement links in RFLP mode.
  1. From the Fluid Design section of the action bar, click Display Logical Diagram .
    A dialog box appears with the system name of the selected system in the Data Information panel as title and lists the diagrams belonging to the system.
    Note: If the logical diagrams of the current system were not loaded, they are loaded at this step.
  2. Select a diagram.
    The diagram is displayed in the dialog box. A first color status is applied to the diagram:
    • Logical parts have the Success or Error color status, depending on the existence or not of an implement link toward a physical object.
    • Logical routes have the Warning/Not Computed color status because the status has not been yet computed. Once the computation is done, this status may change depending on the mapping result between the logical and the physical objects.
    Note: If the logical objects in the selected diagram were not loaded, they are loaded at this step.
  3. Click Show Preferences .
    1. Under Status Display and Computation, select one of the following:
      • All represented items: the computation of the status color is done on all the objects inside the selected diagram.
      • Only current LineID: the computation of the status color is done on the objects belonging to the line ID defined in the context of the Data Information panel.
      • Nothing: the computation of the status color is not applied and the color of the objects remains the same.
    2. Under Highlight, select Do Cross Highlight to highlight the physical object associated to the logical selection. It also works when you select a physical object, the logical one is highlighted.
    3. Optional: Under Status Color, click the color button to customize the color of the following statuses:
      • Success: the physical object associated to the logical object has been found.
      • Warning/Not Computed:
        • the computation has not been done.
        • the route is connected at only one side.
        • the logical object and route have their corresponding components in the physical, but they are not connected.
        • the logical route is not connected at both sides.
        • the sizes in physical do not match.
      • Error:
        • the physical object associated to the logical object has not been found.
        • the logical object associated to the physical object has not been found.
        • no corresponding ports have been found in the physical.

    Note: When you select an object in the diagram, a status is displayed for this object.

  4. Click Compute to map the logical routes and branches to their corresponding physical objects.
    The computation detects if:
    • logical implement links are missing
    • physical objects have no corresponding logical objects
    • there are incompatible size between logical and physical routes and incompatible flow direction between logical system and physical system
    • a route must be connected to something
    • route item must be added to the line ID
    • a logical route is partially connected

    If you modify the physical network to solve the status issues, you need to click Compute again to update the color status.
