Definition from IAI:
Permanently attached element that acts as a terminus or
beginning of a distribution system (e.g., air outlet, drain,
water closet, sink, etc.). A terminal is typically a point
at which a system interfaces with an external environment
(e.g., air delivery into a space (IfcAirTerminal),
heat output into a space from a radiator or convector
(IfcHydronicHeater), etc.).
An IfcFlowController can be either aggregated into the definition of
the IfcFlowTerminal using the IfcRelAssemblesElements relationship, or
referenced using the IfcRelConnectsElements objectified relationship.
HISTORY: New entity in IFC R2.0.
ISSUES: See issues and change log for changes made in IFC R2x.
Geometry Use Definitions
The geometric representation of IfcFlowTerminal is given
by the IfcProductDefinitionShape, allowing multiple geometric
representations. Included are:
Local Placement
The use of local placement is defined at the supertype
IfcDistributionFlowElement.
Standard Geometric Representation
The use of Standard Geometric Representations is defined at the supertype
IfcDistributionFlowElement.
