P&ID 3D pipe part catalog interaction

11.2 Technical details

● The P&ID base objects must have certain properties and attributes.
See also chapter Configuring P&ID base objects (Page 127).
● The pipe part catalog base objects must have certain properties and attributes.
See also chapter Configuring pipe part catalog base objects (Page 129).
11.2 Technical details
11.2.1 Link between P&ID and pipe part catalog
Implementation
● A P&ID function code from the following standard table is assigned to each P&ID base
object:
"Standard tables > @40 > Y00 > A10 > A90 > Y00N00217 Function code for P&ID"
● The database features a standard table grouping the function codes of the objects from the
pipe part catalog.
"Standard tables > Y10 > M23 > A10 > Y10M23N00001 Function code"
● A function code from this standard table is assigned to each pipe part catalog base object.
● The P&ID function codes and the function codes are assigned to one another via the link
code entered in the standard table for function codes.
There can be any number of suitable pipe part catalog objects for each P&ID pipe part
category (ratio 1:N).
● Every P&ID object has attributes that save the pipe spec and nominal diameter.
● When a user assigns a pipe spec and a nominal diameter to a P&ID engineering object,
COMOS starts a pipe spec mapping based on the pipe spec, the nominal diameter, and
the P&ID function code.
● In the course of pipe spec mapping, the P&ID object is assigned an implementation pointer
to a pipe part catalog object.

The pipe spec mapping sequence

When the pipe spec or the nominal diameter of a pipe part is changed, this may initiate the
pipe spec mapping. A search is conducted for a new matching component.
