How can I model a steady state simulation with demands from a specific time of the day?
If your steady state simulation represents a certain time of the day and you’d like the appropriate demands to be used, based on your demand patterns, you can use the EPS snapshot feature. Go to Analysis > Calculation options. Double click your calculation option set and choose “True” for “Is EPS Snapshot?”. Then, select your date/time. When you compute the steady state simulation, it will use demands based on the multiplier on your demand patterns. Note that if your pattern timestep (increment of the time column) is less than 1hr, the computed demand will be “smoothed” based on the average of the multiplier from that timestep and the next.
