7.4.3.29 IfcJunctionBox

7.4.3.29.1 Semantic definition

A junction box is an enclosure within which cables are connected.

Cables may be members of an electrical circuit (for electrical power systems) or be information carriers (in a telecommunications system). A junction box is typically intended to conceal a cable junction from sight, eliminate tampering or provide a safe place for electrical connection.

7.4.3.29.4 Formal propositions

Name Description
CorrectPredefinedType

Either the PredefinedType attribute is unset (e.g. because an IfcJunctionBoxType is associated), or the inherited attribute ObjectType shall be provided, if the PredefinedType is set to USERDEFINED.

NOT(EXISTS(PredefinedType)) OR
(PredefinedType <> IfcJunctionBoxTypeEnum.USERDEFINED) OR
((PredefinedType = IfcJunctionBoxTypeEnum.USERDEFINED) AND EXISTS (SELF\IfcObject.ObjectType))
CorrectTypeAssigned

Either there is no junction box type object associated, i.e. the IsTypedBy inverse relationship is not provided, or the associated type object has to be of type IfcJunctionBoxType.

(SIZEOF(IsTypedBy) = 0) OR
