Introduction

OMOTES.SIMULATOR_CORE is a Python package for thermo-hydraulic simulation of district heating systems. It combines network topology, asset behavior, and controller setpoints to compute mass flow rate, pressure, and thermal state over time.

This Intro section provides package-level orientation before moving into the domain sections. Use it to understand what the package does, who it is for, and what inputs and outputs define a simulation run.
