Problem

What kind of demand conditions should be used as the initial conditions of a transient simulation in HAMMER?

Solution

Typically, you should run a transient simulation for the maximum and minimum demand hours for each of the development conditions (network and demand points) under consideration. For minimum demand cases, the flow will be lower, and thus less dampening of the transient waves.
