Equipment : Model Equipment : Names

Any element in the database may be named, names identify elements and can be used to produce meaningful reports from the database. Which elements have names the user is a matter of choice, but in general it is expected that all major design items such as Equipment, Nozzles, Pipes and Valves are named.

Conventionally, for equipment, all the main equipment and all of its nozzles are named. Nozzles usually carry the equipment name plus a suffix to identify the specific nozzle. For example nozzle 1 of an equipment called /YY9001 would probably be called /YY9001-N1, /YY9001/N1 or simply /YY9001/1. Whatever names are used, the naming convention is usually defined in the project specification used for the project. It is probable that the project has Autonaming rules set up for items such as nozzles so that the project conventions are followed in every detail.

Attaching names to elements may be done in a number of ways. Most creation windows offer an opportunity to name the element being created and allows a name to be input without the preceding slash (/) character. The slash (/) is added automatically during the command processing.

Note:

Names cannot contain spaces and are case sensitive, for example, /YY9001A is a different name from /YY9001a or /yy9001A. Elements in a database are unique, for example, they cannot have the same name or reference number.

To rename an element name, right-click an element in the Model Explorer and select Rename from the list to display the ReName window, refer to Rename for further information.
