The SEDRIS Data Representation Model
APPENDIX A - Classes Perimeter Related Geometry |
|---|
An instance of this DRM class is an <Aggregate Geometry> that spatially organizes its component <Geometry Hierarchy> instances into a collection of (potentially) irregularly shaped regions, each defined by a <Perimeter Data> instance. That is, each component <Geometry Hierarchy> is contained within the perimeter area specified by the <Perimeter Data> associated with that component.
No Example supplied.
Normally, yes. In this case, each component <Geometry Hierarchy> would have its own <Geometry Topology Hierarchy>. However, the <Geometry Topology> instances in all the components may also form a single topological surface, in which case only the <Perimeter Related Geometry> instance itself would have such a topology hierarchy.

An association between a <Feature Representation> instance and a <Geometry Hierarchy> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.
An association between two <Geometry Hierarchy> instances indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.
An association between a <Feature Representation> instance and a <Geometry Hierarchy> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.
An association between two <Geometry Hierarchy> instances indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.
An association from a <Hierarchy Summary Item> instance to a <Geometry Hierarchy> indicates that the <Hierarchy Summary Item> summarizes that <Geometry Hierarchy>.
An association from a <Reference Surface> instance to a <Geometry Hierarchy> indicates that the <Geometry Hierarchy> organizes the geometric objects that specify the resolution surface of the <Reference Surface>.
In the case where multiple <Collision Volume> components are specified for a given <Aggregate Geometry>, the union of the volumes thus specified is used in collision detection.
If the value of the unique_descendants field is SE_TRUE, each descendant of this aggregation, that is, each <Geometry Representation> instance that exists in the component tree rooted at the given <Aggregate Geometry>, shall be unique, in the sense that it shall appear in only one branch of this aggregation. If unique_descendants is SE_FALSE, at least one <Geometry Representation> instance appears in more than one branch of the aggregation.
If the value of the strict_organizing_principle field is SE_TRUE, each branch of this aggregation strictly complies with the organizing principle for its particular subclass. If this value is SE_FALSE, at least one branch does not strictly comply with the given organizing principle. See the organizing principle constraint for each specific subclass for details.
