A pattern setup allows you to match unit sanitary (dry weather) loads with appropriate loading patterns. A pattern setup is associated with each scenario as specified in the Calculation Options Manager. Each scenario can use a different pattern setup, thus allowing you to model different loading alternatives for different extended period simulations.

To define a pattern setup:

1. Define at least one unit sanitary (dry weather) load in your current model. For more information, see "Adding Unit Sanitary (Dry Weather) Loads" .
2. Define at least one pattern in your current model. For more information, see "Defining Patterns" .
3. Select Components > Pattern Setups or click the Pattern Setups button on the Components toolbar.
4. In the Pattern Setups dialog box, click the New button to create a new pattern setup.
5. The table on the right side of the dialog box displays all of the unit sanitary (dry weather) loads currently associated with your current model. For each unit load in the table, select an existing pattern from the Setup Pattern submenu.
6. Perform the following optional steps:
7. Click Close.

Pattern Setups Dialog Box

The Pattern Setups dialog box lets you define a list of pattern setups. The dialog box contains a list pane on the left and a table on the right:

The dialog box contains the following controls above the list pane:

New	Creates a new pattern setup in the list pane.
Delete	Deletes the currently highlighted pattern setup.
Rename	Lets you rename the currently highlighted pattern setup.
Report	Lets you generate a preformatted report that contains the input data associated with the currently highlighted pattern setup.

The right side of the dialog contains a table with the following fields:
