API validation and limits

These are the existing API 1.0.0 rules, not new restrictions. Numeric bounds are inclusive unless shown with parentheses. NaN and infinities are rejected. These are validation limits, not recommended component sizes.

Identity and circuit structure

Local keys contain 1–128 characters matching [a-z0-9_.:/-]+. Dimension/provider IDs contain at most 256 characters matching [a-z0-9_.-]+:[a-z0-9_./-]+. Null references and null collection entries throw NullPointerException; invalid values or relationships throw IllegalArgumentException.

A device permits 4096 terminals plus internal nodes and 8192 elements. Terminal native numbers are 0–4095. Node keys are unique across terminals and internal nodes; native terminal numbers and element IDs must each be unique. Every endpoint, control node, transformer secondary and ground must refer to a declared local node. Element endpoints and transformer secondary endpoints must differ; controlled-source control endpoints may be equal.

prepare() must return the same complete terminal records as terminals(), compared as a set. List order may differ. Keep those records when switching off. CircuitDescription.empty() is only appropriate when the geometry query is also empty.

Values used by the beginner example

new ElectricalModel.Resistor(100) means 100 Ω. new ElectricalModel.Capacitor(1e-13, 0) is rejected even though its capacitance is positive: the minimum is 1e-12 F. A terminal radius of .12 means 0.12 blocks, not pixels. Convert model coordinates from pixels by dividing by 16.

CEE parameters use CEE source polarity. The adapter converts that to PG; do not invert the parameters a second time. CEE substep seconds permit any finite value greater than zero up to one, whereas general TickContext.tickSeconds has a 1e-12 minimum.
