IfcFlowStorageDeviceType

Definition from buildingSMART: The element type IfcFlowStorageDeviceType defines a list of commonly shared property set definitions of a flow storage device and an optional set of product representations. It is used to define a flow storage device specification (i.e. the specific product information, that is common to all occurrences of that product type).

NOTE: The product representations are defined as representation maps (at the level of the supertype IfcTypeProduct, which get assigned by an element occurrence instance through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item[1] being an IfcMappedItem.

A flow storage type is used to define the common properties of a flow storage device that may be applied to many occurrences of that type. A flow storage device is a device used for the temporary storage of a fluid such as a liquid or a gas (e.g., tank), the voltage potential induced by the induced electron flow (e.g., a battery), etc. Flow storage types (or the instantiable subtypes) may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.

The occurrences of the IfcFlowStorageDeviceType are represented by instances of IfcFlowStorage or its subtypes.
