Siemens COMOS - Configuring P&ID Base Objects; Workflow

Procedure
1.
Click the "Process engineering > PipeSpec Manager" category.
2. Optional: Change the defaults in the "Link between P&ID and pipe part catalog" control
group.
Field Description
"Pipe spec" Defines the attribute in which the pipe spec of a P&ID
object is specified.
"Nominal diameter specification for the
first connector (input)"
Defines which attribute saves the input nominal diame‐
ter of the P&ID object.
"Nominal diameter specification for other
connector (output)"
Defines which attribute saves the output nominal diam‐
eter of the P&ID object.
"Attribute for function code" Fixed programmed. Changes have no effect.
Defines which attribute saves the function code of the
pipe part catalog object.
See
also chapter Checking the attribute for the function
code (Page 129).
"Attribute for P&ID function code" Defines which attribute saves the P&ID function code of
the P&ID object.

Checking the attribute for the P&ID
function code (Page 128).

Workflow
The P&ID catalog supplied with the database contains all settings necessary for the link
between the P&ID catalog, the pipe part catalog, and 3D.
Procedure
If you have created your own P&ID catalog or made major changes or additions to the catalog
supplied with the database, you must ensure that all objects have the settings necessary for
the link.
To do this, proceed as follows for every P&ID base object:
1. Check whether the P&ID base object is defined as a request:
Properties, "System settings" tab, "Implement requests" control group: The "Request"
option is activated.
2. If the P&ID base object has the "3D geometry" tab, delete or rename it.
Reason: The 3D functionality should not be derived from the P&ID object but instead from
the pipe part catalog implementation.
