HOW TO SET UP NEW TOPOLOGY SCENARIOS?

There are a lot of ways of doing this. My preference is to put everything in the base scenario and then make various elements inactive in the child scenarios which I will actually run. For example, make the PRVs inactive in the pressure breaker tank scenarios.

Hello Tom,

What is the correct approach to do what you have just suggested? Can you kindly please make changes on the attached file so that I can have a clear view on how you've highlighted, arranged the elements in the alternative tree. I tried to create a new child scenario with new child active topologies but unfortunately, elements in the base topology are also affected.

Here is a trivial file that shows what I am doing. The Base active topology has everything. There are two children: one with the PRV branch inactive and the other with the tank branch inactive.

Mulongo, I would strongly recommend going through the Quick Start Lessons in the help, which cover scenario management. If your organization has SELECT, you could also look at the available online training. Here is an article that lists other learning resources.You can also read more about how this works here: Scenario and Alternative Management

Further, here is an article that specifically addresses the use of the active topology alternative. It includes a video demonstration - Active Topology Management 

You can look at some of the included example models such as Example5, to see scenarios with different active topology alternatives.

Hello Jesse,

Thank you for the links above. They are very informative and full of information. I went through and managed to understand things better. The help tool is also very useful!
