Net type

Line 15:		Line 15:



	~~===Net type===~~
	Each network is related to a predefined resource type. This is known as the net type. The network then is the system through which resources travels from elements of supply to elements of demand. Each network of a separate type is a separate entity, and networks of different types do not affect each other. The following network types are currently available:
	* ELECTRICITY
	* GAS
	* HEAT
	* INTERNET
	* SEWER

	====Network wizard====		====Network wizard====
	When creating or importing network data using the net wizard, but also when stepping through the available steps of the wizard without effecting any changes, there are 2 validation steps where all preceding information is checked. These validation steps will check the following for all [[Network_settings#Active\|active network types]]:
	* There is a root node
	* All net lines are connected directly or indirectly to the root node
	* All net loads are connected via paths composed of net lines to the root note
	* All net nodes with only 1 net line connected to them have a net load connected to them
	* All net nodes with a net load connected to them only have 1 net line connected to them
	~~<!--* There are no cycles in the network (except for the GAS network type)-->~~
	* All net loads are part of a cluster
