# SimplifiedBalanceNetwork

### *class* pylimer_tools_cpp.SimplifiedBalanceNetwork

Bases: `pybind11_object`

A more efficient structure of the network for use in MEHP force balance,
namely [`MEHPForceBalance`](pylimer_tools_cpp.MEHPForceBalance.html.md#pylimer_tools_cpp.MEHPForceBalance), though also passable to
namely [`MEHPForceBalance2`](pylimer_tools_cpp.MEHPForceBalance2.html.md#pylimer_tools_cpp.MEHPForceBalance2).
Consists usually only of the cross- and slip-links (and their connectivity),
i.e., no “normal strand beads” in between, in order to reduce the degrees of freedom
and therewith improve performance of the solver.

A note on the terminology: a spring is the connection between two links (crosslink, entanglement-link/slip-link).
A strand is a chain of connected links between two crosslinks.
