WS pro demand area analysis provides the necessary input for simulation runs.
00:11
This is vital for both reviewing the current demand for water and
00:14
for projecting future potential demand areas where more resources may be needed.
00:19
After generating demand areas from area codes ensure the demand area grid is open
00:25
from here.
00:26
You can make edits to the demand areas
00:28
from either the grid view or properties dialogue.
00:31
Once these edits are finished,
00:33
you will need to update the calculated profile in the demand diagram
00:37
or you need to update the calculations for leakage in the demand area in the network.
00:43
First ensure you have the network control
00:46
live data configuration and demand diagram open
00:51
then from the demand area grid view,
00:53
select each demand area and then from the margin of the table right.
00:57
Click
00:58
from the shortcut menu. Select update demand diagram and network,
01:05
the update demand diagram and network dialogue displays
01:09
from the leakage group select property based demand.
01:13
This updates the specific consumption values in the demand grid on the
01:17
no demand page with specific consumption
01:19
calculated from the demand area analysis.
01:23
Demand diagrams will be updated based on the category type either
01:27
property based or average as defined on the demand diagram.
01:31
If there are no average demand categories that require updating,
01:34
it will be grayed out
01:36
if customer points with average demand have been used in the network,
01:40
do not check the update demand and network option
01:43
as doing so will overwrite the existing demand data.
01:47
Click OK.
01:49
Updating the demand diagram and network from the demand area analysis.
01:53
Grid view after making edits ensures that systems are efficiently designed
01:57
to meet population needs without overburdening
01:59
the environment or wasting resources.

In InfoWorks WS Pro, demand area analysis provides the necessary input for simulation runs. This is vital for both reviewing the current demand for water, and for projecting future potential demand areas where more resources may be needed.
After using the Demand Area Grid to edit demand areas, it is necessary to update the calculated profile in the Demand Diagram, or to update the calculations for leakage in the demand area in the network.
This updates the Specific Consumption values in the Demand Grid on the Node Demand Page, with Specific Consumption calculated from the demand area analysis. Demand diagrams are updated based on category type, either property-based or average, as defined on the demand diagram. If no average demand categories require updating, it is greyed out.
Note: If Customer Points with average demand are used in the network, do not enable “Update Demand in Network”, as it overwrites the existing demand data.
