Spool

Spool split configuration.

For Spool splitting, the most important settings is the 'SizeLimits', which defines the standard spool size.

SpoolSplitMethod

Can be 'OnSize', 'OnWeight', or 'OnPropertyChange'. 'OnSize' uses maximum size criteria and either preferred split point or nearest split point. 'OnWeight' uses maximum weight criteria and either preferred split point or nearest split point. 'OnPropertyChange' uses the property based split typically based on the spool number.

Default value: OnSize

SizeLimits

Default value: 480 120 96 (Imperial)

Default value: 6000 2000 2000 (Metric)

OverflowLength

Sets a small length in case there are only a few components left after spool splitting. If the length of these components does not exceed the overflow length, then they are added to the preceding spool. Setting 'OverflowLength' to 0 will ignore this option.

Default value: 6 (Imperial)

Default value: 150 (Metric)

MaxDirectionChanges

controls the maximum allowed direction changes for a spool. Exceeding which will start another spool. Setting this option to zero will ignore it.

Default value: 3

MaxWeight

Defines the maximum weight of all components in the spool. It is not taken into account when setting to '0'. If 'NoBranches' is true, then spool cannot contain more than one branch.

Default value: 0

MaxPipeLength

A special case in spool splitting. Normally the max pipe spool is 20ft or 6m. Set MaxPipeLength to 0 to ignore the option.

Default value: 240 (Imperial)

Default value: 6000 (Metric)

PropertyChange

Default value: PIPING-SPEC

MinimizeFieldWelds

Default value: false
