I'm not 100% sure I understand you correctly, but probably using loadUI to generate the desired load would be more flexible for you, as you can use Scheduler components to enable/disable different generators over time (there is an example of this in the included loadUI Getting Started Project), which would allow you to change generated load over time desired. When it comes to "simultaneous users" I'm not sure what you want to achieve; from the server side point-of-view it wouldn't make any difference if the requests are generated with one or 100 threads, as long as the rate is the same.. unless you want to (for example) run 10 requests per second but have all requests start at the same time instead of them being evenly spread out (ie one every 100ms).
Can you elaborate more on exactly how you want your TestCase and its contained requests to be sent so we can give you a more specific answer?
regards!
