Physical space topology Application Object

A Physical_space_topology is a Classification that specifies the dimensionality, the continuity, and the sub-divisions of a Physical_space.

EXAMPLE - An edge (with topological dimension of 1) is a Topological_object.

The relationship between:

• the Product_feature_space that is the set of cross sections along beam XB_123; and
• the Topological_object that is an edge,

that indicates the set of cross sections is an edge, is a Physical_space_topology.

EXAMPLE - A face (with topological dimension of 2) is a Topological_object. A division of a face into the triangles and quadrilaterals of mesh FB_027 is a Topological_object.

The relationship between:

• the Product_feature_space that is the set of normal fibres over shell PLT_24, and
• the Topological_object that is mesh FB_027,

that indicates the set of fibres has the sub-divisions of the mesh, is a Physical_space_topology.
