Calculating The Geometry Of A Pipe Part - Siemens COMOS Operating Manual

"Error analysis for 3D objects" plugin
12.4 Checking the pipe part geometry
When you drag a pipe spec element into the "Base object" field, it is the base object from the
pipe part catalog from which the pipe spec element is derived that is displayed in the "Base
object" field. The base object of the pipe spec element is displayed grayed out underneath:
The results table evaluates the base object from the pipe part catalog. Only the pipe spec is
read out from the pipe spec element.

Calculating the geometry of a pipe part

Procedure
1. In the tab toolbar, set the values necessary to calculate the geometry, e.g. the nominal
diameter in the "DN1" list.
2. Click the "Calculate" button.
Result
The following table columns are filled:
● "Result" column:
Contains the result of the geometry calculation. The result may materialize as follows:
– Application of the attribute value.
– Result from the formula that stands in the attribute value.
– Value from a catalog with standard values if the attribute is not set.
● "Error message" column:
Type of error that occurred during the calculation.

If the value "<error>" is displayed here, then an error occurred during calculation. The
error is further explained in the column "Error message".
