3.4.2.2 Structuring by the "Parameter name" attribute
Principle
The
"standard geometry tables" catalog is structured by the "Parameter name" attribute. Every
object in the catalog has this attribute. Its value is dependent upon the function of the object.
COMOS evaluates the attribute in the following cases:
● Whenever a pipe part gets its dimensions via the "CatStd()" calculation formula and the
calculation formula has been generated automatically by means of inputs in the "Define
catalog access" window.
● Whenever the fixed programmed calculation formula is used for the dimensions of flange
ends with a contact face.
"Parameter name" is used to convert the calculation formula into the path entry for the standard
geometry table.
"Parameter name" values
Assigned standard table: "Standard tables > @40 > Y00 > A10 > A90 > Y00N00204 Standard
parameterization table"
The following table shows which values "Parameter name" takes on for various layers of the
"standard geometry tables" catalog:
Function of the structure object Value of
"ParameterName"
System of standards:
The objects of individual systems of standards are situated under the following
node: "@30 > M23 > A10 > Y30 > A10 Standard geometry tables"
●
"1 acc. to EN/DIN"
● "10 acc. to ANSI/ASME"
"Standard"
Type of geometry standard:
The types of geometry standards are situated under the individual systems of
standards:
●
"A10 Basic geometry pipes"
● "A20 Basic geometry pipe parts"
● "A30 Basic geometry instrumentation"
● ...
