Class

·         <DRM Union Of Geometry>

Subclass

·         <DRM Union Of Geometry Hierarchy>

·         <DRM Union Of Primitive Geometry>

Definition

This is an abstract DRM class that specifies an aggregation of <DRM Geometry> with a standardized mechanism by which to organize the members that compose the union.

Example(s)

·         An antenna assembly is contained in a weather protection enclosure. Visually, only the opaque enclosure can be seen. But at microwave frequencies, the enclosure is invisible and only the antenna can be "seen". The entire structure is contained in a <DRM Union Of Geometry>. What the Radar "sees" is modeled with a Radar Cross-section (RCS) <DRM Property Table>. The algorithm (or field measurements) that computed the RCS table used axes that do not match the coordinate system (world or model as the case may be). Therefore, RCS axes of azimuth and elevation angle are misused unless some reference directions can be attached to the entire <DRM Union Of Geometry>.

Notes

1 If TRUE, for any object that exists 'below' this aggregation, each object will appear in only one 'branch' of this aggregation. If FALSE, objects may appear in multiple 'branches' of this aggregation.

2 If TRUE, each 'branch' from this aggregation is its own, independent topology. If FALSE, all of the branches exist within the same topology.

3 If TRUE, each 'branch' strictly follows the rules of this aggregation. If FALSE, each 'branch' might bend the rules a bit. For example, if this is a spatial aggregation, a value of TRUE indicates that objects will not cross the spatial extents defined by this aggregation relationship, and a value of FALSE indicates that objects might cross those bounds. For another example, if this is a time-based aggregation, a value of TRUE indicates that all branches will only contain data valid for the times specified for each branch, and a value of FALSE indicates that the branches have the option of including data that falls outside of the specified time ranges for that branch.
