IfcFlowController

Definition from IAI: The distribution flow element IfcFlowController defines the occurrence of elements of a distribution system that are used to regulate flow through a distribution system (e.g., damper, valve, switch, relay, etc.). Its type is defined by IfcFlowControllerType or its subtypes.

HISTORY: New entity in IFC R2.0.

Geometry Use Definitions

The geometric representation of IfcFlowController is given by the IfcProductDefinitionShape, allowing multiple geometric representations. Included are:

Local Placement

The use of local placement is defined at the supertype IfcDistributionFlowElement.

Standard Geometric Representation
