Specifies an object in the three-dimensional model and an object in a P&ID to correlate. A P&ID pipe run can correlate with multiple Smart 3D pipe runs. A P&ID pipeline can correlate with multiple Smart 3D pipelines.
If the objects do not have a status of Correlated with data match, you can trace the origin of the problem using the Compare Design Basis dialog box.
You can add conditions to the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Xml\ExemptCorrelateClasses.xml file that cause the Correlation Basis of an object to be set to Ignored when that object meets the conditions. The data in the <IgnoreObjects> xml tag is used to list conditions to determine if an object should be ignored for a P&ID topology comparison. Valid values for the Operator attribute in the <Condition> tag are = for equality and != for inequality. For example:
<IgnoreObjects>
<Condition>
<Property Interface = "IJRtePipePathFeat"
Name = "Type" Value = "Nipple" Operator = "=" />
</Condition>
</IgnoreObjects>
You can change the correlation colors by clicking Tools > Set Correlation Status Colors in the P&ID File Viewer.

Description |
---|---|---|
Complete match |
Represents objects that have a data and topology match between the design basis data and the objects in the three-dimensional model. |
|
Correlated with property mismatch |
Represents objects that have a correlation with the design basis. However, these objects have a property discrepancy which generates the mismatch. The cause of the discrepancy can result from changes in the P&ID or in the three-dimensional model. |
|
Correlated with Topology mismatch |
Represents objects that have a correlation with the design basis. However, these objects have a topology discrepancy which generates the mismatch. |
|
Correlated with approved property mismatch |
Represents objects that have a correlation with the design basis. However, these objects have approved property discrepancies. |
|
Correlated with approved topology mismatch |
Represents objects that have a correlation with the design basis. However, these objects have an approved topology discrepancies. |
|
Not correlated yet |
Objects that have either not been modeled from the P&ID or that have been modeled but have not been correlated with design basis data. |
|
Ignored or not claimed |
Shows the object either is not claimed (that is, it exists in the as-built condition), or the software ignores the object (for example, revision clouds and labels). |
