/** \details
  A building element component represents items included in building elements, 
  which usually are not of interest from the overall building structure viewpoint. 
  Contrary to accessories these components form a significant part of the building elements they belong to 
  and usually have a vital and load carrying function within the structure. 
  Typical examples of IfcBuildingElementComponents include different kinds of reinforcing elements, 
  layers of sandwich wall panels, and plates as parts of structural members.
  
  - Local Placement -
  The local placement for IfcBuildingElementComponent is defined in its supertype IfcProduct. 
  It is defined by the IfcLocalPlacement, which defines the local coordinate system that is referenced by all geometric representations.
  * The PlacementRelTo relationship of IfcLocalPlacement points (if given) to the local placement 
    of the same IfcBuildingElement or IfcElementAssembly, which is used in the Decomposes inverse attribute, 
    i.e. the local placement is defined relative to the local placement of the building element or element assembly in which the component is contained.
  * If the relative placement is not used, the absolute placement is defined within the world coordinate system.
  
  - SurfaceModel Representation -
  Any IfcBuildingElementComponent (if no further constraints are defined at the level of its subtypes) 
  can be represented as a single or multiple surface models, based on either shell or face based models.
  
  - Brep Representation -
  Any IfcBuildingElementComponent (if no further constraints are defined at the level of its subtypes) 
  can be represented as a single or multiple Boundary Representation elements (which are restricted to faceted Brep with or without voids). 
  The Brep representation allows for the representation of complex element shape.
  
  - MappedRepresentation -
  The mapped item, IfcMappedItem, should be used if appropriate as it allows for reusing 
  the geometry definition of the equipment type at occurrences of the same equipment type.
