6.2.3.5 IfcDistributionControlElementType

ABSTRACT This definition may not be instantiated

6.2.3.5.1 Semantic definition

The element type IfcDistributionControlElementType defines a list of commonly shared property set definitions of an element and an optional set of product representations. It is used to define an element specification (the specific product information that is common to all occurrences of that product type).

Distribution control element types (or the instantiable subtypes) may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.

The occurrences of the IfcDistributionControlElementType are represented by instances of IfcDistributionControlElement or its subtypes.

The type denotes a particular type that indicates the object further. The use has to be established at the level of instantiable subtypes. In particular it holds the user defined type, if the enumeration of the attribute 'PredefinedType' is set to USERDEFINED.

Product Type Assignment General

This concept can be applied to the following resources:

  • IfcTaskType - Indicates task types available to purchase, install, renovate, demolish, operate, or otherwise act upon occurrences of the element type. Such task types may be instantiated as task occurrences assigned to occurrences of the element type. Prices (such as for purchasing or shipping) may be established by resource types assigned to task types.
  • IfcProcedureType - Indicates procedure types available to operate occurrences of the element type. Such procedure types may be instantiated as procedure occurrences assigned to occurrences of the element type.
  • IfcEventType - Indicates event types available to be raised by occurrences of the element type, sequenced by procedures to be followed. Such event types may be instantiated as event occurrences assigned to occurrences of the element type.
