   The name of an element shall not be used for any other element.

Description
===========

.. start_description

The name of an element shall not be used for any other element (of the same kind) in the entire project (+ libraries). Default kind: constants.

.. end_description

Rationale
=========
This enforces compliance with a specific modeling standard by ensuring that names are unique throughout the model.

Verification
============
The rule registers to constants and raises a violation when a name is used by another constant in the model.

  Message: ``Element name also used here: <list_of_conflicting_constant_paths>``

Resolution
==========
Rename the offending constants to ensure uniqueness.

Customization
=============
N/A.
