I am trying to import demands to customer meters in WaterGEMS. Within the billing data I want to use for demand allocation, some of the meters have multiple demand values with different usage rate codes. For example, in the image below, 1000026837_14WOOD</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Importing multiple demand values to one unique meter ID in WaterGEMS</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/715797?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 09:45:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d222fb64-47f4-4a23-9dec-8d870bb9ec51</guid><dc:creator>Joeri Legierse</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;No problem, glad to help  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Importing multiple demand values to one unique meter ID in WaterGEMS</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/715396?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jun 2022 12:46:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e2e5d210-31d0-4f8a-9056-c174035c6252</guid><dc:creator>Olivia Mast</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much!

Use the following field values in unit demand:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Number of Unit Demands -&amp;gt; use this field for the irrigation &amp;quot;base&amp;quot; demand of the customer meter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unit Demand -&amp;gt; Create an Irrigation Unit Demand (Components -&amp;gt; Other Tab -&amp;gt; More -&amp;gt; Unit Demands) of the count type with a base demand value of 1 and assign this to the unit demand field in the customer meter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pattern (Unit Demand) -&amp;gt; use this field for the hydraulic pattern corresponding to the irrigation demand.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Importing multiple demand values to one unique meter ID in WaterGEMS</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/715149?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jun 2022 12:50:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:4bc7ae35-deb4-4478-815e-2b2633a92521</guid><dc:creator>Jesse Dringoli</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Another possible option is to include multiple customer meter elements for the multiple demands at the given customer location. This topic has been discussed a few times in the past, see:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are having multiple demand types, you can have the following options;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Import model data and demands via ModelBuilder itself. See this article for reference:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="/products/hydraulics___hydrology/w/hydraulics_and_hydrology__wiki/6599/importing-demand-and-loading-patterns-using-modelbuilder" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Importing Demand and Loading Patterns using ModelBuilder&lt;/a&gt;. However, in this option, you would be having demands only at junctions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. If you want to have customer based demands you can have them by importing via ModelBuilder (+ LoadBuilder to assign to nearest pipe / node) and then add the extra demands at junctions only. Since customer meters cannot have multiple demands you would have to either add them manually at junctions or use ModelBuilder to add them (as per Option 1) or simply use any of the LoadBuilder methods to assign demands to junctions (See this:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="/products/hydraulics___hydrology/w/hydraulics_and_hydrology__wiki/10862/how-do-each-of-the-loadbuilder-methods-work" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;How do each of the LoadBuilder methods work?&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Do separate calculation in a spreadsheet (like Excel) and calculate the total demand at every customer meter considering all extra demands and then use ModelBuilder to assign them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me know if this helps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Importing multiple demand values to one unique meter ID in WaterGEMS</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/714951?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jun 2022 20:41:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:43ec225b-af65-4a38-816b-c09e33c9f054</guid><dc:creator>Olivia Mast</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you Scott! Would you suggest using the LoadBuilder and ModelBuilder tools in conjunction to import the data, or is there another way that is better if there are multiple demand values?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Olivia&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Importing multiple demand values to one unique meter ID in WaterGEMS</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/714901?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jun 2022 14:30:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d891489c-fc5a-4f4a-8fc8-0afed24bc41a</guid><dc:creator>Scott Kampa</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Olivia,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="/products/hydraulics___hydrology/w/hydraulics_and_hydrology__wiki/19455/customer-meter-elements-and-the-external-customer-meter-data-manager"&gt;customer meter elements&lt;/a&gt; are designed to represent a single customer demand. There is not a way to add a second demand to a single customer meter. You would need to either include another customer meter for the other demand or apply the two demands to a junction, which does allow for multiple demands on a single node.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scott&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
