Navigator description from pipe part attributes

Principle
"Text blocks" tab, "Representation of the device-describing text at object" control group,
"Description" attribute: The values of the attributes entered in the "TValue" calculation formula
can be compiled to form an overall string describing the pipe part.
If the pipe part and the attributes used in the calculation formula implement the scripts
described below, this string is automatically set as the description of the pipe part An existing
description is overwritten and the new description is shown in the navigator.
Attributes script
If the value of one of the attributes evaluated in the "TValue" calculation formula changes, this
change should be taken into account immediately. For this to happen, the attributes must
implement the "OnChange" script block as in the database.
Example attribute with this type of implementation:
"Y00T00011.Y00A00009 GeoType"

Inheritance of the nominal diameters and pipe spec

Application area
Interaction between P&ID, pipe part catalog and 3D.
Introduction
The component dimensions are parameterized through the nominal diameter, nominal
pressure, connection type, and contact face. The nominal pressure, connection type, and
contact face have already been defined for the pipe part catalog components. The nominal
diameter of the pipe part catalog object is inherited from one of the following sources:
● From the request, as long as it is a P&ID object with function code
● For objects which are both P&ID objects and pipe part catalog objects at the same time,
i.e. for P&ID objects with the "3D geometry" tab: From certain entries on the "Y00T00003
Technical data" tab.
● For pipe part catalog objects for which there is no direct P&ID equivalence, as is the case
with pipes, elbows, and bends, for example: From the pipe section.
