7.10.2.5.2 Type values

Type	Description
`LOAD_CASE`	Groups LOAD_GROUPs and instances of subtypes of IfcStructuralAction. It should be used as a container for loads with the same origin.
`LOAD_COMBINATION`	An intermediate level between LOAD_CASE and LOAD_COMBINATION. This level is obsolete and deprecated. Before the introduction of IfcRelAssignsToGroupByFactor, the purpose of this level was to provide a factor with which one or more LOAD_CASEs occur in a LOAD_COMBINATION.
`LOAD_GROUP`	Groups instances of subtypes of IfcStructuralAction. It shall be used as a container for loads grouped together for specific purposes, such as loads which are part of a special load pattern.
`USERDEFINED`	A grouping level which does not follow the standard hierarchy of load group types.
`NOTDEFINED`	The grouping level is not yet known.
