Siemens COMOS - Surface Reference of the Nominal Diameter Tab

8.5.1 Surface reference of the "Nominal diameter" tab
Structure
The
"Nominal diameter" tab contains a tab for each pipe part type. They are sorted by names
(function code) of the pipe part types.
All tabs have the same structure and are divided into two areas:
● Upper area: For setting the preselected components
● Lower area: For refining the permissible nominal diameters of the pipe parts

Table
● The

Content depends upon display mode
See the "Show all components" option (deactivated).
For pipe parts with two nominal diameters you see a cross-clas‐

"Show all
components"
option
The option controls the display mode of
the table and, therefore, the content of
the lower table row.
Option activated:
●
"Existing components" display mode
● The lower row of the table shows all pipe parts available for
each nominal diameter.
● The legend descriptions of the pipe parts are displayed. The
color code is omitted.
Option deactivated:
● "Preselected component" display mode
● The lower row of the table shows only the preselected
component set for each nominal diameter.
If you have not yet specified a preselected component,
COMOS selects the pipe part with the lowest function code
which is available for the nominal diameter.
● The legend description of the preselected component is
displayed. The cell color corresponds to the color code.
