7.10.2.5.2 Type values
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
LOAD_CASE
|
Groups LOAD_GROUPs and instances of subtypes of IfcStructuralAction. It should be used as a container for loads with the same origin. |
LOAD_COMBINATION
|
An intermediate level between LOAD_CASE and LOAD_COMBINATION. This level is obsolete and deprecated. Before the introduction of IfcRelAssignsToGroupByFactor, the purpose of this level was to provide a factor with which one or more LOAD_CASEs occur in a LOAD_COMBINATION. |
LOAD_GROUP
|
Groups instances of subtypes of IfcStructuralAction. It shall be used as a container for loads grouped together for specific purposes, such as loads which are part of a special load pattern. |
USERDEFINED
|
A grouping level which does not follow the standard hierarchy of load group types. |
NOTDEFINED
|
The grouping level is not yet known. |
