The System tab opens, displaying the list of systems currently in the scenario.
2.
Select What-If Action
→Create Systems... from the menu bar.

Fill in the System Name with one or more unique names.
You cannot change the name once the system is created.
NOTE:
You can add one or more system names at a time by separating each name with a
comma (,) within the System Name field.
IMPORTANT:
While Capacity Advisor will inform you when the system name that you have
designated is not unique (a system with the same name has been discovered), it cannot check
names of systems that have not yet been discovered. Use names that you believe will not be
used in the future (during the useful life of the scenario).
