Each node with a time varying demand being modelled, should have a demand pattern assigned. The following table shows the nodes and a corresponding pattern for the model we are creating in this workshop.
| Node ID | Pattern |
| Junc 2 | Demand Pattern Res |
| Junc 3 | Demand Pattern Res |
| Junc 4 | Demand Pattern Res |
| Junc 6 | Demand Pattern Com |
| Junc 7 | Demand Pattern Com |
| Junc 8 | Demand Pattern Com |
| Junc 9 | Demand Pattern Ind |
| Junc 10 | Demand Pattern Res |
| Junc 11 | Demand Pattern Res |
| Junc 12 | Demand Pattern Res |
The demand pattern can be assigned to a node through the property grid. The pattern ID should be inserted in the “Demand Pattern” field. This process needs to be repeated for all nodes with a demand pattern by assigning the corresponding pattern to each node.
