If you have multiple demand adjustments accomplished via the simulation calculator that cover the same elements, in what order / priority are the multipliers applied?The specific case is presented: using an Entire Network multiplier to adjust the system to a given demand, and then tweaking individual areas by using additional selection set based adjustments.

Hello Jeremy,
The demand adjustments in the calculation options are applied first, in the order they are displayed. The order can be edited with the arrow icons.
After the demand adjustments from calculation options have been applied, then the demand pattern multiplier is applied.
For Example:
Scenario 1:
Row 1: 100*1.5=150 Row 2: 150*.8=120 Row 3: 120+10=130Pattern Multiplier: 130*2=260
Scenario 2:
Row 1: 100*1.5=150 Row 2: 150+10=160 Row 3: 160*0.8=128 Pattern Multiplier: 128*2=256
Scenario 3:
Row 1: 100+10=110 Row 2: 110*1.5=165 Row 3: 165*0.8=132 Pattern Multiplier: 132*2=264
