This procedure explains how to correlate pipe runs in Smart P&ID with Aspen Basic Engineering streams. A single stream item in Aspen Basic Engineering normally maps to multiple pipe runs in Smart P&ID.
-
Select SmartPlant > Correlate.
-
In the drawing, select either an item that was retrieved and placed in the drawing or a previously correlated item. As you move your pointer over an item in the drawing that is already correlated, the item is highlighted. When you select a correlated item, it is added to the Items list on the Correlate dialog as a primary item. Then the application searches the database for all other items that are correlated to the same design basis item and adds them to the list as well.
-
On the Correlate dialog, select Add.
-
Select an item in the drawing that you want to correlate with the retrieved item. When the Correlate dialog opens, you can highlight and select only items that were retrieved or native P&ID items that are already correlated. Because retrieved items already have a correlation, a message appears to make sure that you want to change the existing correlation.
When you retrieve a document into Smart P&ID, each item that is created in a stockpile is automatically correlated to the design
basis item that it came from.
