5.4.3.49 IfcRelConnectsPortToElement
5.4.3.49.1 Semantic definition
IfcRelConnectsPortToElement is a relationship between a distribution element and dynamically connected ports where connections are realised to other distribution elements.
Ports contained in different elements are connected to each other using the IfcRelConnectsPorts relationship.
See IfcRelNests for its usages to represent an ordered collection of ports that are contained by an element and relevant subtypes of IfcDistributionElement for examples and port use definition sections. New entity in IFC2x2. The relationship IfcRelConnectsPortToElement shall not be used anymore, use IfcRelNests instead for specifying the element to which any kind of port belongs.5.4.3.49.2 Entity inheritance
