Which is an example of a geometric network?
Geometric networks offer a way to model common networks and infrastructures found in the real world. Water distribution, electrical lines, gas pipelines, telephone services, and water flow in a stream are all examples of resource flows that can be modeled and analyzed using a geometric network.
How is a geometric network used in geodatabase?
In the following graphic, a geometric network models the flow of water through water mains and water services that are connected by junction fittings: A geometric network is built within a feature dataset in the geodatabase. The feature classes in the feature dataset are used as the data sources for network junctions and edges.
How to build a geometric flow network in ArcGIS?
Geometric networks model directed flow network systems such as water networks. You will build a geometric network from the feature classes in the Water feature dataset in the Montgomery geodatabase. You will then create connectivity rules to define which features can connect to each other in the network.
What are edges and junctions in a geometric network?
Edges and junctions in a geometric network are special types of features in the geodatabase called network features. Think of them as point and line features with extra behavior that is specific to a geometric network. Like other features in the geodatabase, they have behavior such as domains and default values.
How is the utility network used to model assets?
The utility network enables utilities to model the location of assets, including the modeling of internal configurations of complex assemblies such as pump houses, meter pits, and valve assemblies.
How are network diagrams used in the utility network?
Network diagrams can be created from the utility network that provide a schematic view of network connections. These diagrams deliver a clear visualization of connectivity and relationships between features in the network that is not always apparent in a traditional map view.
