What are net loads
A load, in network simulation terms, is a supply or demand on a resource transport and distribution network. Such a network is composed of nodes connected by lines, in which the nodes with supply or demand are known as load nodes. Based on the supply and demand of various nodes in the network, it is possible to calculate the amount of resource flowing over the various lines.
How net loads relate to the Tygron Engine
In the Tygron Engine, a net load is a definition of supply or demand which connects to a net node to turn that node into a load node. A net load does have a geographical location in the 3D World which may be different from the net node is belongs to.
Properties of net loads
Time state
The most significant property of a net load is its time state, which indicates whether or not the net load is to be considered active in the network. The following time states are relevant for a net load:
- NOTHING: The load is currently not active, and its supply/demand should be ignored.
- READY: The load is currently active, and its supply/demand should be taken into account for calculations.
- REQUEST_CONSTRUCTION_APPROVAL: The load is currently not active, but the owner of the network would like to make it active, requiring permission of the load owner.
- REQUEST_ZONING_APPROVAL: The load is currently not active, but the owner of the load would like to make it active, requiring permission of the network owner.
