==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.
==Network structure==
* 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.
Each network is related to a predefined resource type. The network then is the system through which that resource travels from elements of supply to elements of demand.
* 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.
 
Networks in the engine consist first and foremost out of [[net line]]s and [[net node]]s. The net lines are the principle element in this structure. The two ends of net lines are defined by net nodes. Each net node has at least one net line connected to it, but any arbitrary number of net lines can start or end at a node.


Networks also can have net nodes with a definition of supply or demand. These definitions take the form of [[net load]]s. A net load is a geographical element, which should be connected to a net node, with data concerning the amount of supply or demand that net node represents. Not every net node needs to have a net load connected to it. However, generally speaking, net loads are only relevant and valid when they are connected to a net node.

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.
