Use Definitions

An IfcOutletType provides for all forms of outlet.

Usage of IfcOutletType defines the parameters for one or more occurrences of IfcFlowTerminal. Parameters are specified through property sets that are enumerated in the IfcOutletTypeEnum data type.

Property Set Use Definition:

The property sets relating to the IfcProtectiveDeviceType are defined by the IfcPropertySet and attached by the IfcRelDefinesByType relationship. It is accessible by the inverse IsDefinedBy relationship. The following property set definitions specific to an IfcProtectiveDeviceType are part of this IFC release:

- Pset_ElectricalDeviceCommon: property set for properties that are common to all types of electrical devices, if available
- Pset_OutletTypeCommon: property set for properties that are common to all types of cabled outlet, if available

Geometry Use Definitions

Representations of the type are defined as representation maps (at the level of the supertype IfcTypeProduct). These are assigned at the occurrence through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item being an IfcMappedItem.
