4.1.2.6.1 Material Constituent Set

A material constituent set may have its constituents associated to arbitrary geometry using IfcShapeAspect. This association is done by comparing the name of the material constituent with the name of an IfcShapeAspect assigned to a portion of the product's representation.

The following diagram shows the generic classes and relationships used when applying this concept. In addition, concepts may have particular importance to common or standardised industry practices and scenarios. For these specific usage scenarios, the table below shows a recommended list of general usage patterns that users may adopt.
