Networks in the platform are composed of multiple constituent components:
* [[Net Type]]: A categorization of the network.
* [[Net Node]]s: A node present in one or more networks
* [[Net Line]]s: A connection between two net nodes
** Has an associated [[Net Function]], which in turn is related to a specific [[net type]].

** Belongs to a particular [[Net Type]]
** Is associated to [[Net Node]].

==What is a network==
A network is broadly defined as an interconnected system of things. More specifically, networks used here are transport and distribution networks. These are systems composed of interconnected points of supply and demand for specific resources, and the routes connecting them.


==How networks relate to the Tygron Engine==
In the Tygron Engine, it is possible to add network information to a project.


Network functionality is currently an advanced feature, and not available to new projects by default. Please contact Tygron Support if you wish to make use of networks in your projects.
===Restrictions on networks===
* Networks cannot contain any cycles. All networks should be defined as a tree. If the network is not structured as a tree, network generation and other calculations may have unexpected results.
* A net node can be connected to 1, 2, or more [[net line]]s, except when that node is a [[net load|load node]]. In that case, a net node can only be connected to exactly 1 net line.
* Behavior for networks linked with buildings which are altered during a session are undefined. When using network functionality, the buildings linked to by the network should not be demolished, [[Upgrade Type|upgrade]]d, sold to other stakeholders, or otherwise changed.


==Network structure==
{{article end
Networks in the engine consist first and foremost out of [[net line]]s and [[net node]]s.

Network with Net Nodes connected by Net Lines, Net Loads clustered by Net Clusters and configured by Net Settings

Networks in the platform are composed of multiple constituent components:

  • Net Type: A categorization of the network.
  • Net Nodes: A node present in one or more networks
  • Net Lines: A connection between two net nodes
  • Net Loads: A definition of supply or demand in the network
    • Belongs to a particular Net Type
    • Is associated to Net Node.
    • Can be activated or deactivated with specific time states.
  • Net Clusters: Cluster of net loads that provides group (de)activation.
  • Net Settings: Settings related to the configuration of a Network of a specific Net Type.


Restrictions on networks

  • Networks cannot contain any cycles. All networks should be defined as a tree. If the network is not structured as a tree, network generation and other calculations may have unexpected results.
  • A net node can be connected to 1, 2, or more net lines, except when that node is a load node. In that case, a net node can only be connected to exactly 1 net line.
  • Behavior for networks linked with buildings which are altered during a session are undefined. When using network functionality, the buildings linked to by the network should not be demolished, upgraded, sold to other stakeholders, or otherwise changed.
