Siemens COMOS User Manual

Content of the upper half
● The
branch table is a cross-classified table containing the nominal diameter combinations
of the pipe spec. It is generated from the nominal diameters that are entered in the nominal
diameter dependent characteristics table of the pipe spec on the "Characteristics" tab.
– Horizontal axis: The nominal diameter of the branch
– Vertical axis: The main nominal diameter
● Each nominal diameter combination is stored with a list of all branch parts permitted for this
nominal diameter combination.
● Either the names or the legend descriptions of the branch parts are listed in the branch
table. The following options control the content and the display of the table:
Option Description
"Show name" Shows the names of the branch parts.
"Show legend" Shows a legend defined by the user (number or letters).
"Show all available components" Shows all branch parts that are permitted for a nominal
diameter combination.
"Only show preselected component" Shows only those branch parts that were set as preselec‐
ted components in the table.
● Each branch part is assigned a color. If you set a preselected component for a nominal
diameter combination, the cell is displayed in the color assigned to the preselected
component.

8.6.2 Defining branch parts
If you do not use the branch table or do not enter a branch for a certain nominal diameter
combination, COMOS uses the component set as the preselected component for the "71XXX"
pipe part type by default. This is usually a T-piece, provided that the pipe spec contains a T-
piece.
If COMOS is not able to find a preselected component, the first pipe part of the pipe spec with
function code 711XX is offered as a branch part in the pipe spec mapping in accordance with
the nominal diameter.
