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Note: There is a newer version of this specification see VEC 2.1.0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

Name Type Mult. Description Owning Classifier
aliasId AliasIdentification 0..*

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
identification String 1

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
matchingPointId String 0..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
processingInstruction LocalizedString 0..*

Specifies processing instructions for the TopologyNode.

TopologyNode
nodeType NodeType 0..1

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

References the UsageNode that is realized by this TopologyNode.

TopologyNode instantiatedNode 0..1 0..*

If this TopologyNode is an instance of another TopologyNode that is defined elsewhere (e.g. the topology of an assembly), then the instantiated may be referenced here.
