#### 6.1.3.7 IfcSlabElementedCase

| Decke / Dachfläche / Bodenplatte elementiert
| Dalle composite

The IfcSlabElementedCase defines a slab with certain constraints for the provision of its components. The IfcSlabElementedCase handles all cases of slabs, that are decomposed into parts:

- having components being assigned to the IfcSlabElementedCase using the IfcRelAggregates relationship accessible by the inverse relationship IsDecomposedBy.
- applying the constraint that the parts within the decomposition shall be of type IfcBeam, IfcMember, IfcPlate, IfcBuildingElementPart or IfcBuildingElementProxy.

> HISTORY New entity in IFC4.

Voiding Use Definition:

As shown in Figure 88, openings within the composite slab are directly assigned to IfcSlabElementedCase using IfcRelVoidsElement pointing to IfcOpeningElement and apply to all aggregated parts. If individual parts have cutting and other voiding features, then the decomposed parts have a separate voiding relationship IfcRelVoidsElement pointing to IfcVoidingFeature.

Surface Geometry

The Surface Geometry concept applies to this entity as shown in Table 37.

RepresentationType | Geometry

Surface3D | IfcBoundedSurface
Table 37 — IfcSlabElementedCase Surface Geometry

The standard geometric representation of IfcSlabElementedCase is defined using the following multiple shape representations for its definition:

- Surface: A three-dimensional surface being a subtype of IfcBoundedSurface defining the reference surface for the elemented slab. It maybe used as a simplified representation directly at the elemented slab.

> NOTE It is invalid to exhange a 'Body' shape representation of an IfcSlabElementedCase. The body geometry is defined by the parts within the decomposition.

The surfacic geometric representation of IfcSlabElementedCase is defined using the 'Surface' representation.

- RepresentationIdentifier : 'Surface'
- RepresentationType : 'Surface3D'

> NOTE The 'Surface' can be used to define a surfacic model of the building (e.g. for analytical purposes, or for reduced Level of Detail representation). It should suppress the geometric details of the parts in the decomposition.

Spatial Containment

The Spatial Containment concept applies to this entity as shown in Table 38.

Structure | Description
--- | ---
IfcSite | Underground or overground cable carriers are contained within the site.
IfcBuildingStorey | Cable carriers that span multiple spaces are contained within a building storey. If the cable carrier segment spans multiple storeys, it is placed within the storey containing the placement origin, corresponding with the axis origin.
