IfcConnectionPortGeometry

Definition from IAI: This class 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 R2.
ISSUES The entity has changed in IFC 2x - see change log for details.

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.
