WS pro demand area analysis provides the

necessary demand profile input for simulation runs.
00:11
This is vital in reviewing the current demand for water and
00:14
projecting future potential demand areas where more resources are needed.
00:19
When working with a network that does not have demand area codes already assigned.
00:23
It can be helpful to create demand areas from polygons within the network.
00:28
After allocating all known demand to the network,
00:30
assigning any direct demand for large metered customers,
00:34
creating a template demand diagram and opening the respective windows.
00:38
You can create a demand area from a polygon
00:41
to begin open the live data configuration.

in the demand area, ID column,

right click and from the shortcut menu select generate demand areas from polygons.

From here. You can configure boundary conditions

when generating demand areas from polygons info works.
01:44
WS pro will select a random node in the network to operate as a seed node.
01:49
Then the program traces from the seed node until other nodes within
01:53
the polygon are found or any of the boundary conditions are met,
01:57
the selected nodes will then be excluded from any subsequent searches.
02:02
The program then searches for other nodes within the current polygon with
02:05
the same demand area code as the initially selected seed node.
02:09
This operation is repeated and the resultant selection of nodes and links
02:13
defines the demand area until all nodes are excluded from the search.
02:17
And the creation of demand areas is complete.

In InfoWorks WS Pro, demand area analysis provides the necessary demand profile input for simulation runs. When working with a network that does not have demand area codes already assigned, it can be helpful to create demand areas from polygons within the network.
Before carrying out a demand area analysis:
To generate Demand Areas from polygons:
InfoWorks WS Pro will select a random node in the network to operate as a seed node. Then, the program traces from the seed node until other nodes within the polygon are found or until any of the boundary conditions are met. The selected nodes will then be excluded from any subsequent searches.
The program then searches for other nodes within the current polygon with the same Demand Area Code as the initially selected seed node. This operation is repeated, and the resultant selection of nodes and links defines the Demand Area until all nodes are excluded from the search and the creation of Demand Areas is complete.
A new demand area displays in the grid view:
Note: When creating demand areas from polygons, you will need to enter more information than if you create demand areas from area codes.
