skeletonizing steady state model

I am creating a steady state hydraulic model in WaterCad model. I want to skeletonize it by removing branch pipes but still accounting for the demands associated to them by placing that demand at the node upstream of the branch that I eliminate. Reason for skeletonizing is that less pipes makes the model easier to maintain and easier to operate given license constraint on amount of pipes. However even a steady state model can be used for a variety of things. I want to know if there are applications of a steady state model that I lose by skeletonizing the model in the described manner.
