  1. Select only equipment objects in the model by clicking them in a graphic view, dragging a fence around objects, or selecting by filter.

    If no 3D objects are selected, then the software runs the correlation for all selected P&IDs against all 3D objects in the workspace.

  2. Select SmartPlant > Correlate Automatically.

    The Correlate Automatically dialog box displays.

  3. Select one or more P&IDs from the design basis to correlate.

    We recommend that you correlate 3D objects that belong to the selected P&ID.

    Verify that the Copy properties from design basis check box is clear.

  4. Click OK.

    If the property match rules are met, then the software correlates all equipment and piping nozzles in the P&ID. The Auto-correlate Report is displayed after the auto-correlation process is complete. For more information on the auto correlation report, see Auto-Correlate Report.

  5. Resolve any ambiguities in the Auto-Correlate Report:

    1. On the Auto-Correlate Report > Ambiguous Objects, click the 3D object to correlate.

      The selected 3D object is highlighted and zoomed to in the active view.

    2. Select the appropriate P&ID object to be correlated from the list of possible matches.

      The selected design basis object is highlighted yellow in the P&ID Viewer.

    3. On the Auto-Correlate Report, click Correlate.

      Perform these steps until all the ambiguities are resolved.

  6. Select only pipeline objects within the workspace, and repeat steps 1 to 4.

    If all auto-correlation rules are met, then the software correlates all pipelines, pipe runs, and piping components in the P&ID.

  7. Repeat step 5.

  8. Click Cancel to close the report.

  • The log file is stored in the temporary folder of your Documents and Settings folder.

  • The software ignores objects that are already correlated in the 3D model.
