Uncontrolled nodes

For uncontrolled nodes the impedance of a turn is calculated using a VD function from the node volume (= Sum of turn volumes) and the node capacity, therefore exactly like calculating the model Nodes VD function (Node impedance of nodes VD function), however without a term for each turn.

The Visum attributes listed in Table 96 are considered for calculation.
