IfcPipeSegmentTypeEnum

IfcPipeSegmentTypeEnum

Definition from IAI: This enumeration is used to identify the primary purpose of a pipe segment. This is a very basic categorization mechanism to generically identify the pipe segment type. Subcategories of pipe segments are not enumerated. The IfcPipeSegmentTypeEnum contains the following:

RIGIDSEGMENT: A rigid segment is continuous linear segment of pipe that cannot be deformed.
FLEXIBLESEGMENT: A flexible segment is a continuous non-linear segment of pipe that can be deformed and change the direction of flow.
SPOOL: A type of rigid segment that is typically shorter and used for providing connectivity within a piping network.
USERDEFINED: User-defined segment.
NOTDEFINED: Undefined segment.

HISTORY: New enumeration in IFC 2x2
