P&Id 3D Pipe Part Catalog Interaction; Requirements For Linking P&Id And 3D Pipe Part Catalog - Siemens COMOS Operating Manual

P&ID 3D pipe part catalog interaction
Aim
If the P&ID catalog is linked to the pipe part catalog, the users already have the option to work
in the P&ID module based on the pipe specs.
The link also creates a seamless transition between the individual project phases: from P&ID
engineering through the creation of isometric drawings and beyond to 3D engineering.
Principle
If the P&ID catalog is linked to the pipe part catalog, P&ID engineering can be carried out
based on pipe specs:
● COMOS starts a pipe spec mapping as soon as a user assigns a pipe spec and nominal
diameter to a P&ID object.
● The user selects a suitable object from a range of possible objects for the pipe part catalog.
● The P&ID user continues to work with the P&ID object.
● The much more complex and 3D-capable pipe part catalog object is managed as an
implementation in the background. It can be used later on during engineering, for example,
to create an isometric drawing or plan an installation in the COMOS Plant Modeler module.
● The symbol of the pipe part catalog object is issued on the P&ID.
Database
The link is already implemented in the database.
11.1 Requirements for linking P&ID and 3D pipe part catalog
Before you link the P&ID catalog to the pipe part catalog, check that the following requirements
have been met:
● The pipe part catalog has been imported into the base project.
● The base project features a standard table for the P&ID function codes.
● The base project features a standard table for the function codes.
● The project must have certain project parameters.

interaction (Page 126).
