What the Checking Facility Does

The following tests may be carried out:

At Specification (SPEC) level

• Check that no question in the specification is repeated.

• Check that one question in the specification is TYPE.

• From the TYPE reference, check that the Generic Type (GTYPE) of the Piping Component (COMP) has the same setting.

• From the TYPE reference, check that the Symbol Key (SKEY) setting of SDTE is correct.

• From the TYPE reference, check that the point set has the correct geometry, as required by Isodraft.

At Specific Component (SPCO) level

• Check that all of the following reference attributes are set: Catalog Reference (CATREF), DETAIL, MATX, CMPR, BLTREF. (The BLTREF need be set only if the connection type begins with F or L.)

At COMP or equivalent level

• Check that there is a valid PTREF and GMREF.

• At a PTSE, check that P-points are set and that there are no duplicate numbers.

• At a 3D Geomset Element (GMSE), check that there are primitives set and that they are not degenerate. Check also that no invalid P-point numbers or parameters are used. Note that this test uses Catalog parameters, so that if a primitive is constructed only from design and insulation parameters, spurious warnings will be generated.

• Check that each P-point connection type exists in the Connection Compatibility (COCO) tables. P-points used for construction purposes can have connections of 0.0, NUL or NULL. The connection type will not be checked for validity for a specific type of component.

• Check that a P-point bore is valid for a recognized set of nominal bores. P-points used for construction purposes, and a P-point with connection type CLOS, can have a zero bore.
