Thank you , it's helpful

Thank you very much for your very helpful video. However I do not have meter data or household consumption data, but I have computed the daily pattern for consumption, how can I create a consumption shapefile from this data and use the load builder and the Thiessen polygons to load my demands in the nodes,? Thank you

Hello Odhiambo, apologies for the delay in response. In the future you can post on our forum: communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/f/haestad-hydraulics-and-hydrology-forum
When you say that you have the pattern of consumption, do you mean you have the pattern of multipliers (diurnal curve) to describe how demand changes over time, or do you mean that you have the actual demand flow value over time for each node? (or for the entire system?) If you can determine the average daily demand of the whole network, you could create a polygon around the entire network (for example lay out a pump station polygon around it, enter that value for the elevation, then export a pump station flextable with just the elevation field. You can then distribute it to model node elements using the Thiessen polygon and LoadBuilder tools. Then, you can determine the diurnal demand pattern from the data you have, and assign it globally to the nodes from the Demand Control Center.
