SMS:Generic Coverages

Generic coverages can be used for generic input prepossessing, generic output postprocessing and generic model interfaces. Generic coverages can be selected by right-clicking on the map module data and selecting Type | Generic. These coverages can be used with most models and simulations.

Generic Coverages

Currently, the following coverages are considered generic coverages:

• Activity Classification – Used to define active and inactive areas of a mapped dataset.
• Area Property – Maps properties such as Manning's roughness values to the mesh, grid, or cross-sections.
• CGrid Generator – Used for building feature objects for conversion to a cartesian grid.
• Location – Allows creating points that can be used to gather measurements at specific locations during the model run similar to a model monitor points coverage. Generally designed to be used by developers using the dynamic model interface.
• Mapping – Used for building feature objects for conversion to a scatter set.
• Mesh Generator – Used for building feature objects for conversion to a mesh.
• Observation – Used for model verification and calibration processes.
• Particle/Drogue – For visualization post-processing.
• Quadtree Generator – Used for building feature objects for conversion to a quadtree.
• Spatial Data – Designed to store, visualize, and analyze various types of data at node locations.
• Spectral – Used to store all spectral data by location and time.
• Stamping – Used for insertion of man-made structures into a natural topography or bathymetry set.
