This method checks the topological health of the network

The following aspects are checked for:

Isolated pores

Disconnected clusters of pores

Duplicate throats

Headless throats

Bidirectional throats

Returns:: health – A dictionary containing the offending pores or throat numbers under each named key.
Return type:: dict

Notes

It also returns a list of which pores and throats should be trimmed from the network to restore health. This list is a suggestion only, and is based on keeping the largest cluster and trimming the others.

Does not yet check for duplicate pores
Does not yet suggest which throats to remove
This is just a ‘check’ and does not ‘fix’ the problems it finds
