IfcConnectionGeometry

Definition from IAI: The IfcConnectionGeometry is used to describe the geometrical and topological constraints that facilitate the physical connection of two objects. It is envisioned as a control that applies to the element connection relationships.

In the current IFC Release it is restricted to geometrical constraints and to

connection types. Those types are handled in the subtypes of the IfcConnectionGeometry.
