GunnsDraw Ground Node
This represents the Ground node of a GUNNS network. In the exported network code, the Ground is a special node that always represents zero potential: pressure, temperature, voltage depending on the network aspect. There is always exactly one Ground node in the exported network code, regardless of how many Ground node shapes are in the drawing — all those shapes reference the same Ground node in the code.
Many GUNNS link types have a special relationship to the Ground node, like requiring certain ports to always connect, or never connect, to Ground. These will be detailed in the help pages for those links.
- You can place any number of Ground node shapes in the Network container.
- Any number of Link Port connections can connect to a Ground node shape, or you can have one link per Ground shape. It’s up to you.
- You can leave a Ground shape unconnected to anything. In this case, the netexport.py script will quietly ignore it.
- We don’t intend for you to name the shape, but you can if you want. The netexport.py script will ignore any name you give it.
