IfcConnectionPortGeometry

Definition from IAI: The IfcConnectionPortGeometry is used to describe the geometric constraints that facilitate the physical connection of two objects at a port having a profile geometry (here IfcProfile). It is envisioned as a control that applies to the element connection relationships.

This entity defines the geometric location and configuration of a port on a distribution element. This information can be used to determine how to physically connect distribution elements.

> HISTORY New entity in IFC Release 2.0.
> IFC2x Edition 2 CHANGE The entity IfcConnectionPortGeometry is deprecated since Release IFC2x Edition 2 and shall no longer be used.

EXPRESS specification:

ENTITY IfcConnectionPortGeometry
SUBTYPE OF ( | IfcConnectionGeometry);
LocationAtRelatingElement | : | IfcAxis2Placement;
LocationAtRelatedElement | : | OPTIONAL IfcAxis2Placement;
ProfileOfPort | : | IfcProfileDef;
END_ENTITY;

Attribute definitions:

LocationAtRelatingElement | : | Local placement of the port relative to its distribution element's local placement. The element in question is that, which plays the role of the relating element in the connectivity relationship.
LocationAtRelatedElement | : | Local placement of the port relative to its distribution element's local placement. The element in question is that, which plays the role of the related element in the connectivity relationship.
ProfileOfPort | : | Profile that defines the port connection geometry. It is placed inside the XY plane of the location, given at the relating and (optionally) related distribution element.
