Object Typing
The Object Typing concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 145.
| ||||
Table 145 — IfcMemberStandardCase Object Typing |
The IfcMemberStandardCase defines in addition that the IfcMemberType should have a unique IfcMaterialProfileSet, that is referenced by the IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage assigned to all occurrences of this IfcMemberType.
Material Profile Set Usage
The Material Profile Set Usage concept applies to this entity.
Figure 222 illustrates assignment of IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage and IfcMaterialProfileSet to the IfcMemberStandardCase as the member occurrence and to the IfcMemberType. The same IfcMaterialProfileSet shall be shared by many occurrences of IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage. This relationship shall be consistent to the relationship between the IfcMemberType and the IfcMemberStandardCase.
 |
Figure 222 — Member profile usage |
Figure 223 illustrates assignment of a composite profile by using IfcCompositeProfile for geometric representation and several IfcMaterialProfile's within the IfcMaterialProfileSet. The number of IfcMaterialProfile's within the IfcMaterialProfileSet is restricted to maximal 2 and requires the use of IfcExtrudedAreaSolidTapered, or IfcRevolvedAreaSolidTapered for the correct 'Body' shape representation.
 |
Figure 223 — Member composite profiles |
The material of the IfcMemberStandardCase is defined by IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage and attached by the IfcRelAssociatesMaterial.RelatingMaterial. It is accessible by the inverse HasAssociations relationship. Composite profile members can be represented by refering to several IfcMaterialProfile's within the IfcMaterialProfileSet that is referenced from the IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage.
Material information can also be given at the IfcMemberType, defining the common attribute data for all occurrences of the same type. It is then accessible by the inverse IsDefinedBy relationship pointing to IfcMemberType.HasAssociations and via IfcRelAssociatesMaterial.RelatingMaterial. See Type Use Definition for additional agreements for standard members.
Product Placement
The Product Local Placement concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 146.
Table 146 — IfcMemberStandardCase Product Local Placement |
The following restriction is imposed:
Axis 3D Geometry
The Axis 3D Geometry concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 147.
Table 147 — IfcMemberStandardCase Axis 3D Geometry |
The following additional constraints apply to the 'Axis' representation, if the 'Body' shape representation has the RepresentationType : 'SweptSolid':
 |
EXAMPLE As shown in Figure 101, the axis representation can be used to represent the system length of a member that may extent the body length of the member. |
Figure 224 — Member axis representation |
 |
EXAMPLE As shown in Figure 102, the axis representation shall be used to represent the cardinal point as the offset between the 'Axis' and the extrusion path of the member. The extrusion path is provided as IfcExtrudedAreaSolid.ExtrudedDirection and should be parallel to the 'Axis'. It has to be guaranteed that the value provided by IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage.CardinalPoint is consistent to the IfcExtrudedAreaSolid.Position. |

The Body SweptSolid Geometry concept applies to this entity.
The following additional constraints apply to the 'SweptSolid' representation:

Body AdvancedSweptSolid Geometry
The Body AdvancedSweptSolid Geometry concept applies to this entity.
The following additional constraints apply to the 'AdvancedSweptSolid' representation type:
NOTE View definitions and implementer agreement can further constrain the allowed swept solid types. NOTE Using IfcExtrudedAreaSolidTapered, or IfcRevolvedAreaSolidTapered requires the use of two IfcMaterialProfile's within the IfcMaterialProfileSet assinged to the IfcBeamStandardCase
Body Clipping Geometry
The Body Clipping Geometry concept applies to this entity.
The following constraints apply to the advanced representation:
Figure 227 illustrates an advanced geometric representation with use of IfcBooleanClippingResult between an IfcExtrudedAreaSolid and an IfcHalfSpaceSolid to create a clipped body, with cardinal point applied as 4 (mid-depth left).
