TopologyNode

Note: There is a newer version of this specification see VEC 2.1.0

A TopologyNode is a point in the Topology where TopologySegments are starting and ending.

Attributes

NameTypeMult.DescriptionOwning Classifier
aliasIdAliasIdentification0..*

Specifies additional identifiers for the TopologyNode.

Example: TopologyNode 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.

TopologyNode
identificationString1

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

TopologyNode
matchingPointIdString0..1

Specifies an identifier that can be used for matching TopologyNodes that belong to different TopologySpecifications and are actually representing the same node. Example: There are two TopologySpecifications, each specifying the topology of a certain zone of the car. If the zones are adjacent, it is possible that there are TopologyNodes in both zones where the two topologies are connected / have contact. These "connection-nodes" would then define the same matchingPointId.

TopologyNode
processingInstructionLocalizedString0..*

Specifies processing instructions for the TopologyNode.

TopologyNode
nodeTypeNodeType0..1

Specifies the type of the TopologyNode. A Node can either be an EndNode, a Junction or an Inliner.
