E.4.2 - Beam Parametric Cross Section

Example overview

Additional test cases not yet allocated to individual test case groups.

An IfcBeam is a commonly exchanged with a parametric definitions of the cross section shape.

The example includes the local placement, the body shape representation, the material profile set assignment, the beam occurrence and beam type definitions. The focus points are the use of cardinal points to align the beam profile to the axis, the use of parametric profile definitions and the assignment of material information to the profile.

Figure E.D — Beam occurrence graph

The beam 'A-9' in Figure E.B is an occurrence of the 'IPE220' type having an I-Shape profile, placed along an axis using the upper-right cardinal point.

The example in Figure E.A declares two parametric beam types, one with an I-Shape profile and the other with a T-Shape profile. Each type has nine occurrences, using various cardinal points to align the profiles.

The cardinal point of the beam 'A-9' is set to the upper-right, indicating that the 'Body' representation should be generated with the upper-right of the profile aligned along the curve of the 'Axis representation.

The 'IPE220' beam type in Figure E.C is represented by IfcBeamType. As a parametric definition, this beam type does not have any geometric representation, rather it has a material profile set association indicating a cross-section which may be applied to paths defined at occurrences.

Each beam occurrence as in Figure E.D is represented by IfcBeam. The IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage entity indicates the alignment of the material profile set according to cardinal point. The IfcMaterialProfileSet indicates a single material profile. The IfcMaterialProfile indicates an I-Shape cross-section of steel. The IfcIShapeProfileDef indicates shape parameters of the I-Shape profile. The IfcMaterial indicates the steel material, which could be further elaborated with structural properties, surface styles, and fill area styles.
