Step-by-step Guide

In InfoWorks WS Pro, a demand area analysis provides data that allows users to review the current demand for water and project future potential demand areas.

To view the outputs of the live data analysis of the demand area as a graph:

  1. Open the Demand Area Grid.
  2. Right-click Demand Area 35 and select Properties.

In the InfoWorks WS Pro interface, the Demand Area Grid with the shortcut menu for Demand Area 35 displayed and Properties selected.

  1. In the properties dialog box, open the Flow/Pressure tab.

The properties dialog box for Demand Area 35, with the Flow/Pressure tab selected and highlighted in red.

Note: The graph is only populated when the relevant live data configuration file is open, along with the network and control.

The graph displays total inflows, outflows, and net inflow into the Demand Area from transfer nodes, meters, and pumping stations. If a demand area or pressure managed area AZNP node has been defined, then the pressures at these nodes can be displayed from simulation results and live data.

To edit the Flow/Pressure graph properties, or to print or copy the graph to the clipboard:

  1. Right-click the graph.
  2. Select an option.

In the Demand Area 35 properties dialog box, the Flow/Pressure tab with the shortcut menu for the graph displayed.
