# 📶 How to Define Network Capacity Using Demand Areas

## Model usage scenarios, visualize AP load, and analyze whether your design meets expected capacity by assigning demand profiles to defined areas.

### 🔲 Step 1: Enable and Select Areas

- Go to the **Areas** tab (press **D**)
- If areas are hidden, **enable visibility**
- Select an existing area (e.g., *General*) or create a new one

---

### 📊 Step 2: Add or Modify a Demand Profile

- Assign a **Demand Profile** to the selected area (e.g., *Home User*)
- You can:
  
    - Use default profiles
    - Or modify settings like:
      
          - **Avg Throughput per user**
          - **Number of users**
          - **Activity level (e.g., 100%)**
- Save the demand and apply it to the area

---

### 📈 Step 3: View Capacity Results

- Go to **Overview \> Capacity**
- The platform shows:
  
    - **Peak usage per AP**
    - **Average and worst-case utilization**
    - **Total user load**
- Example: *Worst AP at 200%, best at 38%, average 100%*

---

### ❌ Step 4: Exclude Areas Without Demand

- Select an area that should not affect capacity
- Remove its demand assignment
- It will be excluded from all capacity calculations

---

### 🔄 Step 5: Create High-Demand Zones

- Define a new **Area Type** (e.g., *High Demand*)
- Create a matching **Demand Profile** (e.g., 1080p streaming, 30–50 Gbps)
- Draw the new area — it can:
  
    - **Overlap** existing areas (will be carved out as its own zone)
    - Or cover new regions

---

### 💾 Step 6: Save and Recalculate

- Once area changes are made, click **Save**
- The platform updates capacity calculations instantly with new values
