8.10.4.7.2 Applicable entities

8.10.4.7.3 Properties

Name Property Type Data Type Description
DynamicViscosity IfcPropertySingleValue IfcDynamicViscosityMeasure

A measure of the viscous resistance of the material.

YoungModulus IfcPropertySingleValue IfcModulusOfElasticityMeasure

A measure of the Young's modulus of elasticity of the material.

ShearModulus IfcPropertySingleValue IfcModulusOfElasticityMeasure

A measure of the shear modulus of elasticity of the material.

PoissonRatio IfcPropertySingleValue IfcPositiveRatioMeasure

A measure of the lateral deformations in the elastic range.

ThermalExpansionCoefficient IfcPropertySingleValue IfcThermalExpansionCoefficientMeasure

Quantity characterizing the variation with thermodynamic temperature T of the distance l between two points of a body, under given conditions (IEC 113-04-27). The ratio is defined per Kelvin.

Last change: Improve definition split (#876) * bring back headers headers were previously removed by mistake, now bringing them back * add new lines and rename the tag add the word 'short' in it * unify newlines make exactly one newline before and two after the tag * resolving typos Because bringing back headers required to go back in time to previous version, I'm now re-resolving the issues: #861, #860, #856 by ArturTomczak on 7/16/2024, 2:07:28 PM
