Running the scenario and viewing the results in the Results Manager is the third step in Urban Scenario configuration (Figure 1). Shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, there are two simulation configurations available for Urban runs: Urban Configuration and Urban Combination Configuration.

Urban Configuration
The Urban Configuration runs a single Urban Scenario. Outputs are produced according to and recorded results can be viewed ...
Urban Combination Configuration
The Urban Combination simulation is designed to be used when linking Urban Developer with Source River System Scenarios.
The user configures a single Behavioural Water Use node as a template representing a typical household type (such as an apartment, or detached house with a rainwater tank). The Urban Combination simulation generates a database of the average water demand for every combination of occupancy and end usage type defined in the scenario.
To use the Urban Combination Configuration:
- Exactly one behavioural demand node must be present in the scenario (roof and tank nodes can also be present)
- Configure the demand node (and tank and roof nodes, if present) to represent a single dwelling.
- Ensure Sampled Appliance and Occupancy is disabled (it will be disabled by default)
- Choose the Urban Combination Configuration
- Run the model.
The Urban Combination results will be available from within Source River System Scenarios within the same Source project file and can be used to configure Urban Water User nodes with customised distributions and dwelling numbers.
