Name to name match

The name of the selected pipe and its branch members in AVEVA E3D Design are matched against the P&ID element based on the Display name attribute selected from the General tab.

At the Pipe level, the Name-to-name match method searches for and identifies matching P&ID elements decorated as a Piping Network System, along with corresponding matched components, decorated as Piping Components. P&ID results are verified by checking the matched tag elements, ensuring they belong to the correct Piping Network System.

There are three options for Name-to-name match - Exact’, Containing’ or ‘Trimmed. 

Exact

This method compares the PIPE name, with no forward slash, against the selected Display name string for the P&ID elements decorated as a Piping Network System, to find a match.

Containing

This method works in a similar way to Exact, except that it takes the Display name string for the P&ID items and checks to see if it exists within the PIPE name.

Trimmed

This method takes the characters from the trimmed characters input, and removes them from the AVEVA E3D Design. and P&ID elements names, and then searches for a name match from the new strings.
