4.2.206 Face

A Face is a topological object corresponding to a piece of a surface bounded by loops.

A Face may have holes, each hole being bounded by a loop. A geometric surface is always associated with a Face. A Face has a normal N, and the tangent to a loop is T. For a loop bounding a Face, the cross product N × T points towards the interior of the Face.

A Face is a type of Detailed_geometric_model_element.

The data associated with a Face are the following:

4.2.206.1 bound

The bound specifies the loop objects representing the boundaries of the Face.

See face to face_bound for the application assertion.

4.2.206.2 face_geometry

The face_geometry specifies the basis geometry of the Face that is represented by a geometrical surface.

See face to surface for the application assertion.
