        A structural activity is either a structural action or a reaction. It
        may be applied to a point, a curve, or a planar surface, and may be a
        constant load, linear, etc.

        The activity must be defined using an applied load, and associated with
        a structural member.

        :param ifc_class: Choose from any subtype of IfcStructuralActivity.
        :type ifc_class: str
        :param predefined_type: View the IFC documentation for what valid
            predefined types may be chosen.
        :type predefined_type: str
        :param global_or_local: The location coordinates of the load is always
            defined locally relative to the structural member the activity is
            assigned to. However, the directions of the applied load may either
            be specified globally or locally depending on how this argument is
            set. Choose from GLOBAL_COORDS or LOCAL_COORDS.
        :type global_or_local: str
        :param applied_load: The IfcStructuralLoad that is applied in this
            activity.
        :type applied_load: ifcopenshell.entity_instance.entity_instance
        :param structural_member: The IfcStructuralMember that the load is
            applied to.
