There are certainly a number of load testing tools you can use to help get an idea of how to size the system, but they may not be incredibly accurate to your specific workload.
Is there a non-VDI deployed desktop that you can use to get a bit more intel on before swinging users over to the View environment? The more info you have on the requirements for your specific workload, the better.
"Know your workload" is great advice-- but is really difficult to accomplish in most environments
You could always start with a small pilot group and get everything you need to monitor/capture the data set up in advance, then use that data to build from. Just be sure you choose "real users" that will test and put a realistic load on the systems.

Thanks rattacasa
i found the VSPEX sizing tool Helpful
the problem is , I sent the needed details after I read some VDI Practices and testing that tool but seems that the questions are hard to be answered
yes it will not be very accurate I guess and will be based on assumptions
