>>> import ansys.aedt.core
>>> app = ansys.aedt.core.Icepak()
>>> network = ansys.aedt.core.modules.boundary.Network(app)
>>> box = app.modeler.create_box([5, 5, 5], [20, 50, 80])
>>> faces_ids = [face.id for face in box.faces]
>>> connection = {"Name": "LinkTest", "Connection": [faces_ids[1], faces_ids[0]], "Value": "1cel_per_w"}
>>> network.add_links_from_dictionaries(connection)
