A structural curve action defines an action which is distributed over a curve. A curve action may be connected with a curve member or curve connection, or surface member or surface connection.
HISTORY New entity in IFC4.
IFC4 CHANGE Former entity IfcStructuralLinearActionVarying from IFC2x2 has been removed and are replaced by this entity.
Coordinate Systems:
See definitions at IfcStructuralActivity.
Topology Use Definitions:
Standard Case:
If connected with a curve item, instances of IfcStructuralCurveAction shall not have an
ObjectPlacement nor a Representation. It is implied that the placement and
representation of the IfcStructuralActivity is the same as the ones of the member or
connection.
Special Case 1:
If connected with a surface item, instances of IfcStructuralCurveAction shall have an
ObjectPlacement and Representation, containing an IfcEdgeCurve. See
IfcStructuralActivity for further definitions.
Special Case 2:
If not connected with a structural item (which may happen in an incomplete or conceptual model),
a curve action should have an ObjectPlacement and Representation, containing an
IfcEdgeCurve. See IfcStructuralActivity for further definitions.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | ProjectedOrTrue | IfcProjectedOrTrueLengthEnum | ? | Defines whether load values are given per true length of the curve on which they act, or per length of the projection of the curve in load direction. The latter is only applicable to loads which act in global coordinate directions. | X |

| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
| ProjectedIsGlobal | A load can only be related to projected length if it was specified in global coordinate directions (i.e. in analysis model coordinate directions). If a load was specified in local coordinate directions, it can only relate to true length. |

| IfcObject | |||||
| 5 | ObjectType | IfcLabel | ? |
The type denotes a particular type that indicates the object further. The use has to be established at the level of instantiable subtypes. In particular it holds the user defined type, if the enumeration of the attribute PredefinedType is set to USERDEFINED.
| X |
| IsDeclaredBy | IfcRelDefinesByObject @RelatedObjects | S[0:1] | Link to the relationship object pointing to the declaring object that provides the object definitions for this object occurrence. The declaring object has to be part of an object type decomposition. The associated IfcObject, or its subtypes, contains the specific information (as part of a type, or style, definition), that is common to all reflected instances of the declaring IfcObject, or its subtypes.
IFC4 CHANGE New inverse relationship, change made with upward compatibility for file based exchange. | X | |
| Declares | IfcRelDefinesByObject @RelatingObject | S[0:?] | Link to the relationship object pointing to the reflected object(s) that receives the object definitions. The reflected object has to be part of an object occurrence decomposition.

IFC4 CHANGE The data type has been changed from IfcRelDefines to IfcRelDefinesByProperties with upward compatibility for file based exchange. | X | |
| IfcProduct | |||||
| 6 | ObjectPlacement | IfcObjectPlacement | ? | Placement of the product in space, the placement can either be absolute (relative to the world coordinate system), relative (relative to the object placement of another product), or constraint (e.g. relative to grid axes). It is determined by the various subtypes of IfcObjectPlacement, which includes the axis placement information to determine the transformation for the object coordinate system. | X |
| 7 | Representation | IfcProductRepresentation | ? | Reference to the representations of the product, being either a representation (IfcProductRepresentation) or as a special case a shape representations (IfcProductDefinitionShape). The product definition shape provides for multiple geometric representations of the shape property of the object within the same object coordinate system, defined by the object placement. | X |

| IfcStructuralActivity | |||||
| 8 | AppliedLoad | IfcStructuralLoad |
Load or result resource object which defines the load type, direction, and load values.
In case of activities which are variably distributed over curves or surfaces, IfcStructuralLoadConfiguration is used which provides a list of load samples and their locations within the load distribution, measured in local coordinates of the curve or surface on which this activity acts. The contents of this load or result distribution may be further restricted by definitions at subtypes of IfcStructuralActivity. | X | |
| 9 | GlobalOrLocal | IfcGlobalOrLocalEnum |
Indicates whether the load directions refer to the global coordinate system (global to
the analysis model, i.e. as established by IfcStructuralAnalysisModel.SharedPlacement)
or to the local coordinate system (local to the activity or connected item, as established by
an explicit or implied representation and its parameter space).
NOTE, the informal definition of IfcRepresentationResource.IfcGlobalOrLocalEnum doe s not distinguish between "global coordinate system" and "world coordinate system". On the other hand, this distinction is necessary in the IfcStructuralAnalysisDomain where the shared "global" coordinate system of an analysis model may very well not be the same as the project-wide world coordinate system. NOTE In the scope of IfcStructuralActivity.GlobalOrLocal, the meaning of GLOBAL_COORDS is therefore not to be taken as world coordinate system but as the analysis model specific shared coordinate system. In contrast, LOCAL_COORDS is to be taken as coordinates which are local to individual structural items and activities, as established by subclass-specific geometry use definitions. | X | |
| AssignedToStructuralItem | IfcRelConnectsStructuralActivity @RelatedStructuralActivity | S[0:1] | Reference to the IfcRelConnectsStructuralActivity relationship by which activities are connected with structural items. | X | |
| IfcStructuralAction | |||||
| 10 | DestabilizingLoad | IfcBoolean | ? | Indicates if this action may cause a stability problem. If it is 'FALSE', no further investigations regarding stability problems are necessary. | X |
| IfcStructuralCurveAction | |||||
| 11 | ProjectedOrTrue | IfcProjectedOrTrueLengthEnum | ? | Defines whether load values are given per true length of the curve on which they act, or per length of the projection of the curve in load direction. The latter is only applicable to loads which act in global coordinate directions. | X |
| 12 | PredefinedType | IfcStructuralCurveActivityTypeEnum | Type of action according to its distribution of load values. | X | |
