Check if names of duplicated MOs are retrieved

[michelpons]

I am opening up in Aspen Plus v7.3.2 a case file that makes use of Aspen Plus embedded thermo and of the VB6 Mixer Splitter example used as a splitter. I run the case and analyze the log file obtained with COLTT 2.1 Build 246.

Within the Calculate call, there is a call to Duplicate the MO named as 1:

MaterialObject <1> : Call to Duplicate
MaterialObject Duplicate returns clone: 013A43B0
MaterialObject <1> : Return from Duplicate - Succeeded

Once this is done I presume that most subsequent CalcProp and CalcEquilibrium calls are made on the duplicated MO. However the following is logged:

MaterialObject <1> : Call to CalcProp requesting:

Property Phase Calc
enthalpy Liquid mixture

MaterialObject <1> : Return from CalcProp - Succeeded

I wonder if COLTT has really updated the name of the MO, or if the duplicated MO has the same component_Name as the original MO. I can't see any call to get_componentName on the ICapeIdentification interface carried by the duplicated MO. Would be necessary to know what is going on. If the duplicated MO is given the same name as the original MO by the PME, it may induce some recommendation to developers to avoid that situation.

If the PME gives the duplicate MO a unique name it will be used in the log, if the PME does not rename the duplicate COLTT will log it as <duplicate of ...>. Aspen Plus 7.3 does not rename duplicates. Fixed with commit 253 and available in builds after 16th September.
