MEP_oM: Organisation of MEP Namespaces

[kayleighhoude]

Description:

The above should make room for all existing objects within the MEP oM and make room for those that we will be adding in the future

@tiagogrossi @michaelhoehn @FraserGreenroyd @TheresaBrown curious to hear your thoughts before this is actioned

This includes the removal of Node (to be replaced by Geometry oM Point)

[michaelhoehn]

Providing a detailed outline of the proposed namespaces for the MEP_oM below. After having gone through these a bit I think it's worth another discussion regarding the implementation of the MaterialFragments classes. Makes more sense to me to have a more generic ElementMaterial to eliminate redundancies as there are many more objects that will also need material properties in the future (e.g. fittings, dampers, valves, etc.).

Another point regarding Systems in general. We currently have a prototype MechanicalSystem object and an eventual ElectricalSystem object. Where did you envision these sitting @kayleighhoude? Seems with the proposed, there could be some confusion between the System.Duct and System.MechanicalSystem when used in the same workflow. Possibly solved with something like System.Components.Duct?

Anyway, glad to see these getting a bit more organised and happy to implement what is decided by the larger group. 😄

Looks nice, I think I also prefer the classification of Systems like you showed there :)

[FraserGreenroyd]

On quick inspection (juggling a lot today, so happy to do a more detailed discussion next week) but I'm against DuctMaterial and PipeMaterial as object names, and I would like us to consider how the materials for MEP can fit within the framework developed up as part of the Physical Construction objects and align with the Environments namespace were possible, probably using interfaces to group things, etc.

Otherwise, this diagram looks good, and if we implement it I would enjoy seeing it on the wiki alongside the Environments diagram :smile:

Per conversation today, if everyone is happy we will move forward with the proposed namespaces in the drop-downs. Work will commence with the closing of https://github.com/BHoM/BHoM/pull/1045 - merged

[michaelhoehn]

Adding a note that this issue should also be resolved prior to Namespace changing as it's dealing with a couple of methods being migrated from other toolkits. https://github.com/BHoM/BHoM/pull/1059 - merged
