5.1.3.26 IfcRelAssignsToProcess

5.1.3.26.1 Semantic definition

The objectified relationship IfcRelAssignsToProcess handles the assignment of one or many objects to a process or activity. An object can be a product that is the item the process operates on. Processes and activities can operate on things other than products, and can operate in ways other than input and output.

The inherited attribute RelatedObjects gives the references to the objects, or object type, which the process operates on. The RelatingProcess is the process or process type, that operates on the object. The operation types are captured in the inherited attribute Name.

5.1.3.26.3 Attributes

#	Attribute	Type	Description
IfcRoot (4)
1	GlobalId	IfcGloballyUniqueId	Assignment of a globally unique identifier within the entire software world.
2	OwnerHistory	OPTIONAL IfcOwnerHistory	Assignment of the information about the current ownership of that object, including owning actor, application, local identification and information captured about the recent changes of the object, NOTE Only the last modification is stored - either as addition, deletion or modification. IFC4-CHANGE The attribute has been changed to be OPTIONAL.
3	Name	OPTIONAL IfcLabel	Optional name for use by the participating software systems or users. For some subtypes of IfcRoot the insertion of the Name attribute may be required. This would be enforced by a where rule.
4	Description	OPTIONAL IfcText	Optional description, provided for exchanging informative comments.
IfcRelAssigns (2)
5	RelatedObjects	SET [1:?] OF IfcObjectDefinition	Related objects, which are assigned to a single object. The type of the single (or relating) object is defined in the subtypes of IfcRelAssigns.
6	RelatedObjectsType	OPTIONAL IfcStrippedOptional	Particular type of the assignment relationship. It can constrain the applicable object types, used within the role of RelatedObjects. IFC4-DEPRECATION The attribute is deprecated and shall no longer be used. A NIL value should always be assigned. IFC4.3.0.1-CHANGE The attribute type has been changed to IfcStrippedOptional given that IfcObjectTypeEnum has been deleted.
