IfcBoundaryFaceCondition
        
Definition
from IAI: The entity IfcBoundaryFaceCondition
describes boundary conditions that can be applied to structural face
connections, either directly for the connection (e.g. the connecting
face) or for the relation between a structural member and the
connection.
The following conventions to
the values of the LinearStiffnessByArea[X,Y,Z]
apply:
  - value (-1.) represents an
infinitive large value – or a fixed connectivity with
infinitive stiffness
 
  - value zero (0.), represents
no stiffness or a free connectivity
 
  - any other value represents a
finitive stiffness or spring connectivity in that direction or rotation
 
  - value NIL ($) represents an
unknown connectivity condition
 
NOTE: Instances of the entity IfcBoundaryFaceCondition
are used e.g., to define the boundary condition for instances of IfcStructuralFaceConnection
or IfcRelConnectsStructuralMember
pointing to a structural face connection.
