TopologySegment

Note: There is a newer version of this specification see VEC 2.1.0

A TopologySegment is a distance in the Topology where no intermediate electrical contacts appear. If a Topology contains routed wires, then the wire at the beginning of a TopologySegment have to be the same as in the ending.

Attributes

NameTypeMult.DescriptionOwning Classifier
identificationString1

Specifies a unique identification of the TopologySegment. The identification is guaranteed to be unique within the TopologySpecification. Over all VEC-documents a TopologySegment-instance can be trusted to be the same if the TopologySpecification-instance is the same (see TopologySpecification) and the identification of the TopologySegment is the same.

TopologySegment
formSegmentForm1

Specifies the form of the TopologySegment. A TopologySegment can either be circular or noncircular.

TopologySegment
aliasIdAliasIdentification0..*

Specifies additional identifiers for the TopologySegment.

Example: TopologySegment Ids may vary from one CAD system export to another. Therefore the CAD system Id is improper for identification attribute. The identification shall have a value which is unique within the Topology. AliasId may be used for the CAD system Id.

TopologySegment
processingInstructionLocalizedString0..*

Specifies processing instructions for the TopologySegment.
