Spatial Composition
The Spatial Composition concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 56.
| ||||||||
Table 56 — IfcBridge Spatial Composition |
NOTE By using the inverse relationship IfcBridge.Decomposes it references IfcProject || IfcSite || IfcBridge through IfcRelAggregates.RelatingObject. If it refers to another instance of IfcBridge, the referenced IfcBridge needs to have a different and higher CompositionType, i.e. COMPLEX (if the other IfcBuilding has ELEMENT), or ELEMENT (if the other IfcBridge has PARTIAL).
Spatial Decomposition
The Spatial Decomposition concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 57.
| ||||||
Table 57 — IfcBridge Spatial Decomposition |
NOTE By using the inverse relationship IfcBridge.IsDecomposedBy it references IfcBridge || IfcBridgePart through IfcRelAggregates.RelatedObjects. If it refers to another instance of IfcBridge, the referenced IfcBridge needs to have a different and lower CompositionType, i.e. ELEMENT (if the other IfcBridge has COMPLEX), or PARTIAL (if the other IfcBridge has ELEMENT).
Spatial Container
The Spatial Container concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 58.
| ||||||||
Table 58 — IfcBridge Spatial Container |
NOTE If there are building elements and/or other elements directly related to the IfcBridge, they are associated with the IfcBridge by using the objectified relationship IfcRelContainedInSpatialStructure. The IfcBridge references them by its inverse relationship: > * IfcBridge.ContainsElements -- referencing any subtype of IfcProduct (with the exception of other spatial structure element) by IfcRelContainedInSpatialStructure.RelatedElements.
Bridge Systems
The Spatial Service Connectivity concept applies to this entity.
Property Sets for Objects
The Property Sets for Objects concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 59.
| ||||
Table 59 — IfcBridge Property Sets for Objects |
Object Predefined Type
The Object Predefined Type concept applies to this entity.
Placement
The Product Local Placement concept applies to this entity.
The local placement for IfcBridge is defined in its supertype IfcProduct. It is defined by IfcLocalPlacement or by IfcLinearPlacement>/em> which defines the local coordinate system that is referenced by all geometric representations.
Property Sets for Objects
The Property Sets for Objects concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 60.
| ||||
Table 60 — IfcBridge Property Sets for Objects |
Body Geometry
The Body Geometry concept applies to this entity.
The body (or solid model) geometric representation (if the bridge has an independent geometric representation) of IfcBridge is defined using faceted B-Rep capabilities (with or without voids), based on the IfcFacetedBrep or on the IfcFacetedBrepWithVoids. In the case of alignment based infrastructure, the geometric representation can be defined using IfcSectionedSolidHorizontal optionally IfcSweptAreaSolid.
NOTE Since the bridge shape is usually described by the exterior building elements, an independent shape representation shall only be given, if the bridge is exposed independently from its constituting elements and such independent geometric representation may be prohibited in model view definitions.
