    Description copied from interface: ModelPart
    
    Whether this model part describes something that physically exists in the domain model.
    For example, an entity's discriminator is part of the model, but is not a physical part of the domain model - there is no "discriminator attribute".
    Also indicates whether the part is castable to VirtualModelPart
