There might be several occasion where user want to get different types of flanges to appear automatically. By default Weld Neck Flange appear automatically. See below image, when a Valve has been placed, Weld neck flange appears and connects automatically on both end of valve. Below description will assist user to get different flange types (Say a SLIP_ON Flange or a Lap Joint Flange) by changing the entries made in AutoFittingRules.xml file. Steps to Accomplish In OpenPlant Modeler workspace, go to “ System ” folder and open “ AutoFittingsRules.xml ” file. Check below path for default setup: %Project Root%\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\OPModeler\System Search for flanges. See default entries below: Add a similar entry in AutoFittingsRules.xml file for SLIP_ON_FLANGE along with End preparation details like shown for weld neck flange. One quicker approach is to copy existing entry and paste it above all. See below image. Note – Auto placement picks up the first entry made in above file Save and Close File. Restart OpenPlant Modeler and verify results by placing a valve on a pipeline. Similarly to Get the “ LAP_JOINT_STUB_END ” flange to appear automatically while placement, user need to change the order in the file, like shown in below image. Save & Close the file.
