Description
Parameterizable text which creates a string describing the part by con‐
catenating the values of various pipe part attributes.
An expression consisting of TValue calculation formulae is input in the
field. Pipe part attributes are passed to the calculation formulae. The
attribute values are then evaluated and linked with each other.
You can use the resulting string as a description in the Navigator. See
also chapter Navigator description from pipe part attributes (Page 150).
