This page contains EDMInterface API sample code to show how to exploit the EDMruleMethods. To run these samples, you need to create an EDMdatabase and compile the following schemas.

You will also need to import the following data set into the EDMmodel named IFC_WALL_02 in the DataRepository

Sample population with three instances of IFCWALLSTANDARDCASE, identified by duplicate GUIDs

Sample 1: EDMruleMethod with logical output

This sample executes an EDMruleMethod with no input parameters and returns a single logical validation result (TRUE/FALSE/UNKNOWN). To run this sample, you need the EDMruleSchema IFC_Rule_Samples_01. You also need to import the sample population IfcWall_02.ifc.

Sample 2: EDMruleMethod with Expression Logging 

This sample shows how to specify expression logging of the EDMvirtualMachine that executes an EDMruleMethod. To run this sample, you need the EDMruleSchema IFC_Rule_Samples_01. You also need to import the sample population IfcWall_02.ifc.  

Sample 3: EDMruleMethod with XML String I/O  

This sample executes an EDMruleMethod with input parameters and file mapping between the logical file name 'result' and a file on the calling clients local file system. To run this sample, you need the EDMruleSchema IFC_Rule_Samples_01. You also need to import the sample population IfcWall_02.ifc.
