This entity defines an action which acts on a point. A point action is typically connected with a point connection. It may also be connected with a curve member or curve connection, or surface member or surface connection.
HISTORY New entity in IFC2x2.
IFC4 CHANGE Attributes in the supertypes IfcStructuralActivity and IfcStructuralAction changed. Use definitions changed, informal propositions added.
Coordinate Systems:
See definitions at IfcStructuralActivity.
Topology Use Definitions:
Standard Case:
If connected with a point item, instances of IfcStructuralPointAction
shall not have an ObjectPlacement nor a Representation.
It is implied that the placement and representation of the action is the same
as the structural item.
Special Case 1:
If connected with a curve item or surface item, instances of IfcStructuralPointAction
shall have an ObjectPlacement and Representation, containing an IfcVertexPoint.
See IfcStructuralActivity for further definitions.
NOTE In order to model concentrated actions on a curve or surface item, IfcStructuralCurveAction or IfcStructuralSurfaceAction of type DISCRETE is preferable since they do not require an extra topology representation in this case. An IfcStructuralPointAction should be used for a concentrated action on a curve or surface item only when an explicit vertex point representation is actually desired.
Special Case 2:
If not connected with a structural item (which may happen in an incomplete or
conceptual model), a point action should have an ObjectPlacement and
Representation, containing an IfcVertexPoint.
See IfcStructuralActivity for further definitions.

| HasContext | IfcRelDeclares @RelatedDefinitions | S[0:1] | References to the context providing context information such as project unit or representation context. It should only be asserted for the uppermost non-spatial object.
IFC4 CHANGE The inverse attribute datatype has been added. | X | |
| IsDecomposedBy | IfcRelAggregates @RelatingObject | S[0:?] | References to the decomposition relationship being an aggregation. It determines that this object definition is whole within an unordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object definitions can be aggregated by several other objects (occurrences or parts).
IFC4 CHANGE The inverse attribute datatype has been changed from the supertype IfcRelDecomposes to subtype IfcRelAggregates. | X | |
| Decomposes | IfcRelAggregates @RelatedObjects | S[0:1] | References to the decomposition relationship being an aggregation. It determines that this object definition is a part within an unordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object definitions can only be part of a single decomposition (to allow hierarchical strutures only).
IFC4 CHANGE The inverse attribute datatype has been changed from the supertype IfcRelDecomposes to subtype IfcRelAggregates. | X | |
| HasAssociations | IfcRelAssociates @RelatedObjects | S[0:?] | Reference to the relationship objects, that associates external references or other resource definitions to the object.. Examples are the association to library, documentation or classification. | X | |
| 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. The associated IfcObject, or its subtypes, provides 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 | |
| IsTypedBy | IfcRelDefinesByType @RelatedObjects | S[0:1] | Set of relationships to the object type that provides the type definitions for this object occurrence. The then associated IfcTypeObject, or its subtypes, contains the specific information (or type, or style), that is common to all instances of IfcObject, or its subtypes, referring to the same type.
IFC4 CHANGE New inverse relationship, the link to IfcRelDefinesByType had previously be included in the inverse relationship IfcRelDefines. Change made with upward compatibility for file based exchange. | X | |
| IsDefinedBy | IfcRelDefinesByProperties @RelatedObjects | S[0:?] | Set of relationships to property set definitions attached to this object. Those statically or dynamically defined properties contain alphanumeric information content that further defines the object.
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 |
| ReferencedBy | IfcRelAssignsToProduct @RelatingProduct | S[0:?] | Reference to the IfcRelAssignsToProduct relationship, by which other products, processes, controls, resources or actors (as subtypes of IfcObjectDefinition) can be related to this product. | 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 |
| IfcStructuralPointAction | |||||
