How to add the Aerius Overlay

The Aerius Overlay shows the calculated results of the Aerius Module. The overlay visualizes the NOX and NH3 deposition on Natura 2000 areas.

Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Overlays (Ribbon bar)

How to add the Waterwijzer Overlay to a project:

1. Hover over the "Overlays" button in the Ribbon, and click on "Add Aerius Overlay".
2. In the left panel, select the newly added Aerius Overlay.
3. In the right panel, click on "Configuration Wizard".
4. In step 1, import/select traffic intensity data per traffic sector or go to the next step
5. In step 2, import/select traffic congestion data per traffic sector or go to the next step
6. In step 3, import/select building-related emission data or go to the next step
7. In step 4, import/select construction machine categories and fuel usage data or go to the next step
8. In step 5, import/select plan amounts data or go to the next step
9. In step 6, choose which result types you would want to see and in the advanced step choose the calculation year.
10. Finish and close the wizard.
11. If neccesary, recalculate the Overlay.
12. The Aerius Overlay now shows the calculated results.

Notes

• Generally, the Aerius Overlay is used to calculate the effects of a new building plan on the nitrogen deposition on Natura 2000 areas. It could be that not all of the data for the sectors is relevant for each use case. Take a look at the Aerius Calculator manual to see which sectors are relevant for your use case.
• For an example project see the Demo Aerius Project or take a look at the description of the Aerius module test result.
