What is the result of trying to connect incompatible features?

When attempting to connect incompatible features within a utility network, the system is designed to recognize that these features cannot be linked as intended. Consequently, an error message is generated to alert the user to the incompatibility. This is a critical function of the network, ensuring integrity and accuracy in the data model.

In the context of utility networks, certain features are defined by specific attributes and behaviors that govern how they interact with one another. When an incompatible connection is attempted, it signals to the user that there is a fundamental mismatch—such as different types of utilities, incompatible materials, or structural properties—that prevents a successful connection. This mechanism serves as a safeguard to maintain the reliability of the network and encourages users to reassess their connections or configurations to ensure compatibility before proceeding.

Understanding this process is essential for effective troubleshooting and ensures that users can manage their utility networks with precision and avoid errors that could lead to further complications down the line.
