4.2.467 Shape_description_association

A Shape_description_association is a mechanism to associate the definition of a shape or of a portion of a shape with a geometric representation.

NOTE Through Shape_description_association, it is possible to associate objects with geometry defined in an external document; the same is possible through Document_assignment. The difference between the two possibilities is that in the case of Shape_description_association, it is the shape of the object that is assigned whereas Document_assignment may be used to assign other kinds of geometry.

The data associated with a Shape_description_association are the following:

4.2.467.1 defining_geometry

The defining_geometry specifies the Geometric_model or the External_model that contains the shape information.

See shape_description_association to external_geometric_model and shape_description_association to geometric_model for the application assertions.

There shall be exactly one object that defines the defining_geometry for a Shape_description_association.

4.2.467.2 is_defining_shape_for

The is_defining_shape_for specifies the object the Shape_description_association is associated with.

See shape_description_association to feature_definition, shape_description_association to general_feature, shape_description_association to item_shape, shape_description_association to shape_element, shape_description_association to shape_element_relationship, shape_description_association to thread_feature, and shape_description_association to transition_feature for the application assertions.

There shall be exactly one object that the Shape_description_association is_defining_shape_for.

4.2.467.3 role

The role specifies the function performed by the referenced model.

Where applicable the following values shall be used:
