Loading Selective Logical Data

You can open first physical data and then open selective logical data. The Open Logical Definition command enables you to load only the logical data of your choice, instead of loading all the logical data.

Before you begin: Open a physical product in RFLP mode. You can open it in two different ways:
  • Search for your product, right-click it and select Explore with System Finder, and then right-click the physical product in the tree and select Open....
  • Start the Piping & Tubing Systems Design or HVAC Systems Design app, right-click the Physical node, and select Insert Existing Product.
From the Fluid Design section of the action bar, click Open Logical Definition .
The corresponding logical data are loaded in the tree. The following table illustrates the mechanism used to retrieve the logical data.
Step Action Comment
1 Is the active object an occurrence ? If no, the following message is displayed: "Not valid component"
2 Get the first object or parent object with a reference implement link in the path of the active object If no, the following message is displayed: "No logical"
3 Get the top object or parent object with a reference implement link in the path of the active object
4 Is the top object different from the first object ? If no, go to step 6
5 Search all logical items between the top object implement link target and the first object's one
6 Search in the first object's implement link target for all references having line IDs and get the list of line IDs The type of the Line ID (Piping, HVAC) is defined according to the discipline ongoing in the context.
7 Load all non-loaded searched objects Logical root, intermediate logical reference and line ID can be loaded
8 Is top object implement link target already in the RFLP tree ? If no, add it under the logical node in the tree and update the logical tree of top object implement link target with the new loaded components
9 Add top object implement link target under the logical node in the tree
Note: If you select another product different from the root product and click Open Logical Definition , the corresponding logical data are loaded in the tree in addition to the previous ones.
