I simply use tabular resource tabular report. This will output FULL RANGE cimulative and per period data with the distribution from early start to late finish
Thank you guys, I think P3 dont have this option to generate the average curve directly. So the best way to do is do it in excel. by exportting data from p3. Going to ff menu. Tools - Tabular report - add - select resource - timescale , go to schedule 3 drop down menu then select average. then save with file extensiion ????. Hope this will help
bell shabe curve is called s curve but this will impact that particular activity only not the total project. it is good to apply in larger activities ( like erection of steels 100s of tons or pouring concrete 1000s of cub.meter) since it is a big activity we are loading the activity gradually more and peak in the middle and gradually reducing.
but, what you need, i understand that s curve for the project. it is not suppose to create. when you load the resources to the activities properly in man hours or mandays, you will get the s curve almost all the projects in construction. it means the project would be started increasing works gradually and peak in the middle time and reducing gradually. when you do it properly you will come to know. as far as i did in my projects i got all s curve. note it it cannot be created. depends upon your programing skill u will get when you check in grapical repory. tools, graphics report, resource and cost, u must mark curve both histogram and cumulative.
You are correct! You may select resource usage profiles for each activity such as front-loaded, or normal distributed,..etc but primavera (as far as I know) does not take into account an average S-Curve. Also there is no sense doing that.
Instead ,you may utilize exel to create an average S-Curve and compare your outcomes with it.
Spider Project is most functional and powerful professional project management software.
The first SP version was launched in 1993 and since then it has been constantly improved. Today is used in 34 countries though most Spider Project customers are in Russia. Spider Project offers numerous unique functional features and is the only PM software that optimizes resource, cost, and material constrained schedules and budgets for projects and portfolios.
The unique features of Spider Project include Quantity Based Scheduling, Conditional Scheduling, Skill Scheduling, Optimal Resource, Cost and Material Leveling, Resource Critical Path Calculation, Cash and Material Flows Calculation and Management, Trend Analysis, Advanced Risk Simulation and Analysis, Calculation of Success Probability Trends, Calculation and Management of required Project Time and Cost Buffers, Application of Corporate Norms, Management of many Parallel Budgets, Multiple WBS and many others.
Spider Project was and is used for management of many large scale programs in Russia, including $51bln construction program for 2014 Winter Olympic Games preparation.
The application areas where Spider Project is successfully used include Aerospace, Banking, Construction, Defense, Energy, Engineering, Infrastructure, Manufacturing, Metallurgy, Mining, Oil & Gas, Railways, Retail, Shipbuilding, Software Development, Telecommunications, Utilities, etc.

Create Radically Better Construction Schedules with ALICE Technologies
Use the power of AI to create construction schedules that reduce risk while cutting costs and build time. With ALICE, develop the ideal schedule during preconstruction -- or recover projects that are off schedule and over budget.
Hi,
You are right, all the softwares created S-Curve for two case. but your request is not be used in Pm.
I simply use tabular resource tabular report. This will output FULL RANGE cimulative and per period data with the distribution from early start to late finish
I export this to Excel for graphical presentation

The formula is:
y=(3/2)^x.Sin[1/2p.(T-x)/T].Sin[p.x/T].Log[x+1/2T]-2.x^3/T^2+3.x^2/T
Where : p is 3,141516
x : elapsed time percentage
y : cumulative project progress
T : Max. Cumulative Progress
a : Curve climbing parameter.
But frankly speaking all these mathematical formulas are created by the people never been at site...!!
