Run Rules

Rules can be run as often as is necessary for the design to be satisfactorily conducted. Rules can be run on the entire Project or one P&ID

The run rule analysis form is split into three areas.

  • Rule Analysis Info
    • User - The user who is logged in to run the analysis
    • Creation date - The date and time the analysis is created
    • Description - A description of the purpose of the rule analysis
  • Configurations - Select the desired locations from the Project tree. Use SelectAll to run the analysis on all P&IDs in the Project.
  • Custom Rule Types - Select the desired custom rule types/rule groups that you wish to be applied to the project. Use SelectAll to run the analysis on all P&IDs in the Project.
  • Options
    • Connected - Analysis Runs the analysis using the process connections, or not. Running without connections makes the analysis significantly faster, at the expense of all rules using process connections failing.
    • Suppress Previous Results Check - Writes all rule results as new if checked
    • Enable Batch Commit - Commits the rule results in batches based upon the commit block size if checked.
    • Enable Concurrency - Enables the rules to run as a set of multithreaded processes
    • Max Concurrent Processes - User defined field for the maximum number of threaded processes for the rules to use
    • Commit Block Size - The number of drawings to commit per "chunk" when batch commit is enabled
    • Build summary Statistics - When checked, enables the statistics summary to be generated at the end of the analysis, in order to diplay results in the dashboard
