Functional Association Data

Class Name: Functional Association Data

Superclass - <Base Association Data>

Subclasses

This DRM class is concrete and has no subclasses.

Definition

An instance of this DRM class specifies the semantic meaning of the association relationship with which it is bound.

This class appears on only one page of the DRM class diagram.

Example

  1. Let O be a <Union Of Geometry Hierarchy> instance representing an overpass. O has:

    1. a <Classification Data> component with tag = ECC_OVERPASS
    2. a <Union Of Primitive Geometry> component S representing a bridge span within the overpass, where S has a <Classification Data> component with tag = ECC_BRIDGE_SPAN
    3. a <Geometry Model Instance> component P1 referencing M, with a <World Transformation> component placing P1 on the right side of S
    4. a <Geometry Model Instance> component P2 referencing M, with a <World Transformation> component placing P2 on the left side of S

    To indicate clearly the functional relationship between the bridge piers and the bridge span within O, the data provider also supplies the following relationships:

    1. an association from S to P1 through a <Functional Association Data> link object having meaning = SE_FNASSMNTYP_SUPPORTED_BY
    2. an association from S to P2 through a <Functional Association Data> link object having meaning = SE_FNASSMNTYP_SUPPORTED_BY
    3. an association from P1 to S through a <Functional Association Data> link object having meaning = SE_FNASSMNTYP_SUPPORTS
    4. an association from P2 to S through a <Functional Association Data> link object having meaning = SE_FNASSMNTYP_SUPPORTS
