This example shows a static scatterplot-style network diagram of 100 randomly generated nodes and links, rendered as steelblue circles on an SVG canvas. The code defines node positions and link endpoints using `d3.range` and `Math.random`, then appends circles via `svg.selectAll(".node").data().enter()`. Although the title suggests a force simulation, the visible code does not invoke `d3.forceSimulation`, leaving the layout fixed; the example relies on D3 v4 for data binding and SVG element creation.
