7.10.2.9 IfcStructuralCurveMemberTypeEnum
7.10.2.9.1 Semantic definition
This enumeration distinguishes between different types of structural 'curve' members, such as cables.
7.10.2.9.2 Type values
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
CABLE
|
A tension member which is able to carry transverse loads only under large deflection. |
COMPRESSION_MEMBER
|
A member without tensional stiffness. |
PIN_JOINED_MEMBER
|
A member with capacity to carry axial loads only, i.e. a link. Typically used in trusses. |
RIGID_JOINED_MEMBER
|
A member with capacity to carry transverse and axial loads, i.e. a beam. Its actual joints may be rigid or pinned. Typically used in rigid frames. |
TENSION_MEMBER
|
A member without compressional stiffness. |
USERDEFINED
|
A specially defined member. |
NOTDEFINED
|
A member without further categorization. |
