Hello everybody! I'm trying to solve an optimization problem with Network Analyst. That problem consist in minimizing the cost of supplying electricity from a transformer to the consumers, considering the street layout. That involves selecting the cheapest transformer that is able to supply the power needed, selecting the cheapest electrical conductor that bears the current that flows through it, and selecting the minimum spanning tree between transformer and consumers I've been studying Closest Facility (CF) and Location - Allocation (L-A), but both won't help me: Neither of them have the option of setting a maximum capacity for facilities. Am I trying to use the wrong extension to solve my problem? I tried to use Geometric Network, but they won't help me neither, cause their tools are helpful for analysis, not for planning. What would you recommend me? Thank you! Javier ... View more

Hello everybody, Is there a way of providing the Facility ID to each Incident beforehand so that the Incidents are forced to get connected to the desired Facilities ? Thank you very much, Javier ... View more

Hello everybody, When building a Network dataset I get this message for several points "Standalone user-defined junction is detected". I cannot guess why I am getting this error, when all this points are over a street. Actually I used the Snap Tool, so there is no way those points aren't intersecting a street. The only points that don't report this Standalone error are the ones that are over a vertex of the streets' feature class. I checked this link that was in another thread related to this topic, but that correction is for geometric networks, not for a network dataset so I still can figure this out. I will appreciate any help. Greetings! JAA ... View more

Hello everybody, I need some way of getting the actual shape of the network paths when solving a location-allocation analysis. I need those shapes in order to know how many resources are flowing through each edge of the network. With the "straight line" results I cannot know this information. Thanks! ... View more
