7.10.2.9 IfcStructuralCurveMemberTypeEnum
7.10.2.9.1 Semantic definition
This enumeration distinguishes between different types of structural 'curve' members, such as cables.
7.10.2.9.2 Type values
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
CABLE
 | 
 A tension member which is able to carry transverse loads only under large deflection.  | 
COMPRESSION_MEMBER
 | 
 A member without tensional stiffness.  | 
PIN_JOINED_MEMBER
 | 
 A member with capacity to carry axial loads only, i.e. a link. Typically used in trusses.  | 
RIGID_JOINED_MEMBER
 | 
 A member with capacity to carry transverse and axial loads, i.e. a beam. Its actual joints may be rigid or pinned. Typically used in rigid frames.  | 
TENSION_MEMBER
 | 
 A member without compressional stiffness.  | 
USERDEFINED
 | 
 A specially defined member.  | 
NOTDEFINED
 | 
 A member without further categorization.  |
