Detailed Description

An IfcBeam is a horizontal, or nearly horizontal, structural member that is capable of withstanding load primarily by resisting bending. It represents such a member from an architectural point of view. It is not required to be load bearing. There are two main representations for beam occurrences: IfcBeam with IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage is used for all occurrences of beams, that have a profile defined that is swept along a directrix. The profile might change uniformly by a taper definition along the directrix. The profile parameter and its cardinal point of insertion can be fully described by the IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage. These beams are always represented geometrically by an 'Axis' and a 'SweptSolid' or 'AdvancedSweptSolid' shape representation (or by a 'Clipping' geometry based on the swept solid), if a 3D geometric representation is assigned. IfcBeam without IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage is used for all other occurrences of beams, particularly for beams with non-uniformly changing profile sizes along the sweep, or beams having only 'AdvancedBrep', 'Brep', or 'SurfaceModel' geometry, if a more parametric representation is not intended.

For any other longitudinal structural member, not constrained to be predominately horizontal nor vertical, or where this semantic information is irrelevant, the entity IfcMember should be used.

  • Spatial Containment - The Spatial Containment concept template applies to this entity as shown in table below:
    RelatingStructure

Description IfcBuildingStorey A system or zone for which time-based system information is provided, such as overall status parameters of a building control system IfcBuilding Spatial container for the element if it cannot be assigned to a building storey IfcSite A process for which time-based information is provided, such as an alarm event being raised and acknowledged, or regular and overtime costs spent on a task

The IfcBeam, as any subtype of IfcBuildingElement, can participate alternatively in one of the two different containment relationships: the Spatial Containment (defined here) the Element Composition.

  • Material Profile Set - The material of the IfcBeam is usually defined by the IfcMaterialProfileSet and it is attached either directly or at the IfcBeamType. It is illegal to assign an IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage to an IfcBeam. Only the subtype IfcBeamStandardCase supports this concept.
  • Axis 3D Geometry - The Axis 3D Geometry concept template applies to this entity as shown in the table below:
    RelatingStructure

Type Items Description IfcBuildingStorey Curve3D IfcBoundedCurve Three-dimensional reference curve for the beam.

The 'Axis' 'Curve 3D' geometry can be used to represent the system axis and length of a beam that can extent the body length.

The image below illustrates the 'SweptSolid' geometric representation. There are no restrictions or conventions on how to use the local placement (black), solid of extrusion placement (red) and profile placement (green).

<IMAGE ifcbeam_standard-layout1>

The image below illustrates the use of non-perpendicular extrusion to create the IfcExtrudedAreaSolid.

<IMAGE ifcbeam_advanced-1-layout1>

The image below illustrates use of IfcBooleanClippingResult between an IfcExtrudedAreaSolid and an IfcHalfSpaceSolid to create a clipped body.

<IMAGE ifcbeam_advanced-2-layout1>

Remarks
The entity IfcBeamStandardCase has been deleted in newer releases, IfcBeam with IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage is used instead.

OdIfc4x4::IfcBeam::IfcBeam ( )

Default constructor for the IfcBeam class.

Member Function Documentation

◆ comparedToEarlyImpl()

true if comparison was performed, false if method has no implementation, so late-bound version could be applied.
Remarks
If the method returns true, the ordering parameter can receive one of the following statuses:
Value Description kLessThan -1 This object < Other Object. kEqual 0 This object = Other Object. kGreaterThan 1 This object > Other Object. kNotOrderable 2 This class is not orderable.
