| | | | | |
| *2011 Dec - beta | | *2008 Oct - final |
| *2012 Nov - final
| |
| | | | | |
| #New Module – Raster Module | | #Storm water quality and quantity modeling with xpswmm and EPA SWMM interfaces |
| #*You can now work with raster data (DEM) in SMS without needing to convert the data into a scatterset (TIN). Raster formats are more space efficient and quicker to draw than TIN based formats with the same number of points. This allows you to work with larger DEMs than previously possible within SMS. | | #*The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is a popular model used to simulate the hydrology and hydraulics of storm water runoff. SWMM is primarily used for urban areas, and can be used to model single event or long-term (continuous) simulation of runoff quantity and quality. |
| #*Rasters can be used to interpolate elevations to a scatter, mesh, or grid. You can create observation profile plots of raster data to see cross-section views of raster data.
| | #*With WMS 8.1, you can delineate a watershed and then export the delineated watershed boundaries and the WMS-computed watershed data to [http://www.xpsoftware.com/ xpswmm] or [http://www.epa.gov/ednnrmrl/models/swmm/index.htm EPA SWMM]. |
| #Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL)
| | #Spatially Distributed Hydrologic Modeling with [[WMS:GSSHA|GSSHA™]] |
| #*The PBL model is used to compute wind fields from tropical storms and hurricanes. The PBL engine is developed and maintained by Oceanweather Inc., experts in wind forecasting and hind casting. The PBL model takes an input storm track and outputs wind fields that can be used to force an ADCIRC model. Currently, distribution of the model itself is controlled by OWI. Negotiations to use the model, or get output files from the model, which can then be used in SMS as part of CSTORM or ADCIRC model runs, must go through OWI. | | #*New to WMS 8.1 is full support and documentation for the distributed hydrologic model GSSHA™. Several improvements have been made to the GSSHA™ interface in WMS 8.1. The entire process of creating GSSHA™ models and running GSSHA™ models has been streamlined in the [[WMS:Hydrologic Modeling Wizard|Hydrologic Modeling Wizard]]. The water quality modeling interface and capabilities of GSSHA™ have been significantly improved. Nutrient modeling capabilities have also been improved. Several post-processing features have also been added that allow you to more effectively view water depth along each of the stream channels in the GSSHA™ model. We have added two new tutorials and a new volume ([[WMS:WMS_Tutorials#Volume_6:_.28New_in_WMS_8.1.29_Download|Volume 6]]) to our list of WMS tutorials that walk you through the process of setting up a basic GSSHA™ model with overland flow and stream routing and using NEXRAD Radar precipitation with your GSSHA™ model. A new web site, [http://www.gsshawiki.com '''gsshawiki.com'''], has also been launched. This web site contains all the latest GSSHA™ documentation and a wealth of information for GSSHA™ modeling. |
| #Adaptive Hydraulics (AdH) | | #[[WMS:Radar Rainfall|HMS gridded rainfall (NEXRAD) support]] |
| #*The 2D shallow water component of the ADaptive Hydraulics Modeling system (AdH) now has an interface within SMS. AdH was developed by the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, ERDC, USACE ([http://www.chl.erdc.usace.army.mil www.chl.erdc.usace.army.mil]). AdH solves the 2D shallow water equations, features an adaptive mesh solution to dynamically alter the resolution of the mesh based upon where it is needed, supports wetting and drying, boat effects, and wind effects. See the AdH website for more information on AdH (https://adh.usace.army.mil/). | | #*WMS 8.1 supports an exciting new feature that makes it easier to work with quasi-distributed hydrologic models. This feature makes it simple for you to use NEXRAD RADAR rainfall data in XMRG format, such as [http://dipper.nws.noaa.gov/hdsb/data/nexrad/nexrad.html archived rainfall data from the National Weather Service]. This feature allows you to read a set of NEXRAD rainfall grids and compute the Thiessen polygon-based gage weights for each sub-basin and the total precipitation (or a precipitation distribution) for each gage based on the rainfall grids. |
| #*Note: The sediment and AD transport portions of AdH are not currently supported in the SMS interface.
| | #*WMS 8.1 also has features that allow you to convert radar-derived precipitation grids directly to formats that can be used in two different hydrologic models: The quasi-distributed [[WMS:WMS_Tutorials|MODClark model]], which is part of [[WMS:HEC-HMS|the HMS interface]] and the distributed [[WMS:GSSHA|GSSHA™ model]]. |
| #WAM
| | #Improved HMS interface and MODClark modeling support |
| #*The global ocean WAve prediction Model called WAM is a third generation wave model. WAM predicts directional spectra as well as wave properties such as significant wave height, mean wave direction and frequency, swell wave height and mean direction, and wind stress fields corrected by including the wave induced stress and the drag coeffieient at each grid point at chosen output times. (http://chl.erdc.usace.army.mil/chl.aspx?p=s&a=software;8)
| | #*Several improvements have been made to the HMS interface in WMS 8.1. |
| #*The WAM interface in SMS supports building WAM grids, creating WAM simulations, nesting WAM grids, post-processing support (contours and spectra), and generating spectra for STWAVE input (requires the STWAVE interface). | | #*One of the most exciting improvements allows you to define a grid representing an HMS MODClark model at any resolution and compute a Curve Number, rainfall value, and travel time at each cell on the grid. After defining the MODClark model in WMS, you can export the model to HMS and run the MODClark simulation. The powerful MODClark modeling capabilities in WMS are not available in any other software product. |
| #Bouss2D Runup/Overtopping
| | #Storm water quality and quantity modeling with xpswmm and EPA SWMM interfaces |
| #*It is now possible to run Bouss2D in 1D mode to simulate run-up and overtopping. The runup/overtopping interface supports the ability to extract transects, position gages, specify roughness zones (Chezy or Manning), and define multiple wave cases. Post-processing includes 2D profile plots along transects, time-series plots of gage output, generated summary statistics such as height of highest 1/10, 1/50 of waves, and the point of furthest encroachment on each transect.
| | #*Besides supporting hydrologic modeling with xpswmm and EPA SWMM, WMS supports hydraulic modeling through the "Storm Drain" coverage and the River module. You can import or draw a conceptual model of your storm drain networks in the storm drain coverage and then convert your conceptual model to a schematic in the River module. From the river module, you can export your storm drain network to xpswmm or EPA SWMM where the model can be run. Using the new WMS feature to export (and import) xpswmm and EPA SWMM files, you can build your model and perform model computations in the familiar and GIS-enabled WMS interface. After building and defining your model in WMS, you can export your model to SWMM and finish your model and view the results in the SWMM interface. |
| #TUFLOW Advection/Diffusion Module
| | #Updated HY-8 7.1 culvert analysis computations and an improved interface |
| #*There is a new Advection/Diffusion (AD) module for TUFLOW. TUFLOW AD simulates depth-averaged, two and one-dimensional constituent fate and transport. Both dissolved and particulate constituents can be simulated. TUFLOW AD adaptively expands its computational stencil (between third to ninth order) in areas where strong constituent gradients are identified. The module is fully supported within SMS including the ability to support spatially varied initial concentrations and transport coefficients. | | #*WMS 8.1 has an improved interface with the FHWA HY-8 culvert analysis program. Since HY-8 7.1 was developed by Aquaveo (the developers of WMS), we were able to integrate the HY-8 7.1 culvert analysis interface and code directly into WMS. With the new HY-8 Culvert coverage, you can define the location of your culvert and edit the data associated with a culvert. The WMS software developers have also linked the HY-8 culvert coverage with the detention basin calculator, allowing you to route a hydrograph through a culvert and determine the effect of the culvert on the hydrograph. The WMS HY-8 interface offers report generation, energy dissipation structure analysis capabilities, and many other powerful features directly within the WMS interface. |
| #Generic Model New Features | | #Improved support of FHWA hydraulic modeling tools |
| #*We have added several features to the generic model interface to offer more options for providing a user-interface for models without a custom SMS interface. | | #*WMS 8.1 has improved the support of the FHWA hydraulic modeling tools. The channel calculator, weir calculator, and the curb and gutter calculator have all been improved to more effectively coincide with FHWA's HEC 22 computation guidelines. |
| #*Now boundary condition and material parameters can now support more than just a floating point or curve value. Each parameter can be enumerated options, boolean, integer, float, curve, text, or float/curve (user chooses which). | | #General Enhancements |
| #*Now multiple boundary conditions can be assigned to the same entity (node, nodestring or elements). This is particularly handy if you have bc information for multiple solution types (flow and sediment transport).
| | #*In WMS 8.1, the "Get Data" toolbar has been expanded to include two new buttons: The "Get Data From Map" button and the [[WMS:Hydrologic Modeling Wizard|"Hydrologic Modeling Wizard" button]]: |
| #*The generic model designer can show/hide parameters based upon an enumerated option parameter. For example, the user could choose between chezy and manning roughness approaches and show the appropriate parameters depending upon the choice. Boundary condition and Material properties can use global parameters or their own parameters to base the hide/show logic. | | #Virtual Earth map locator tool |
| #*The designer can also choose to have multiple material groups (roughness/sediment).
| | #*The "Get Data From Map" button brings up the WMS Virtual Earth map locator tool. This tool is powered by Microsoft Virtual Earth, and accesses data from the internet to allow you to view maps anywhere in the world. Once you zoom into the region you're interested in modeling, WMS will bring up a web data service client which will allow you to select from several data download options. From this dialog, you can select to download NED (DEM), Land Use, or Microsoft TerraServer aerial imagery and topographic data. The data you select is downloaded and read into WMS. This powerful combination of tools will allow you to streamline your data collection process so much of your data collection can be done within the WMS interface. |
| #*In order to accomplish the features above and make parameters as consistent as possible, some existing card definitions have changed. This will necessity changes for models using the generic model interface and migrating from SMS 10.1 to 1.0.0.
| | #Improved web service client tools |
| #CMS Updates
| | #*Along with the virtual earth map locator tools, the web service client capabilities of WMS have been greatly improved. In previous versions of WMS, WMS had difficulties downloading data. Many of these difficulties originate from the web service servers, and WMS cannot improve much on these problems. However, the WMS developers have streamlined our web service client tools to give you feedback on the status of your downloads and to fix several problems that were in previous version of the web service client. |
| #*CMS Flow now supports the ability to run a coupled CMS Flow/CMS Wave model without the use of the steering module (inlined). Running the models inlined minimizes the file IO for the models decreasing runtimes.
| | #[[WMS:Hydrologic Modeling Wizard|Hydrologic modeling wizard]] |
| #*CMS Flow also supports an optional Implicit solution scheme allows for longer time-step sizes and parallel runs so you can distribute your work across all of your processor cores. The option to change which mode (2D or 3D) CMS Flow runs in has been removed. By default, CMS Flow will run in 2D.
| | #*The [[WMS:Hydrologic Modeling Wizard|"Hydrologic Modeling Wizard"]] button in the Get Data toolbar steps you through the process of building a hydrologic model. This powerful wizard starts by helping you define your project coordinate system and gather your data, then steps you through the process of delineating your watershed and computing the parameters for your hydrologic model. When you are done with the wizard, you will have a hydrologic model that is completed or nearly completed for any of the hydrologic models supported in WMS. |
| #*CMS Wave has several new features including the ability to define a muddy bed, non-linear wave effects, infragravity wave effects, spatially varied wind field, xmdf output, and a Gauss-seidel solution scheme that allows you to run across multiple processor cores. | | #Improved graphics |
| #TUFLOW Updates
| | #*The WMS graphics display speed has been dramatically increased. Previous versions of WMS used a software-based approach to rendering your data, but WMS 8.1 uses your graphics hardware to render your data. Along with this modification, the WMS software developers have added Windows Vista graphics support to WMS 8.1. |
| #*You can now import projects created outside of SMS. Multiple TCF files can be read together to maintain sharing of objects where supported by SMS. Makes it easy for someone familiar with SMS to pick up on a model started by someone else or to help transition to using TUFLOW within SMS.
| | #A new user-editable WMS "Wiki" online help |
| #*You can now choose to output datasets in XMDF format which is much faster (basically instant) for loading datasets into SMS. You can also add custom text to the output options to choose items not supported by SMS.
| | #*The WMS software developers have developed the [http://www.xmswiki.com xmswiki.com] home page. Instead of the traditional WMS help file, all the help is now available online from the xmswiki.com site. This help site uses the "Mediawiki" engine, which is the same code base used by [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] to run their site. This means that anybody who knows about WMS, including you, can modify a help topic or create a new topic. Be assured that the WMS software developers will monitor changes to the WMS wiki, so the xmswiki.com content will be accurate. But with this powerful online editing tool, the WMS help will be much more comprehensive and up-to-date. The xmswiki.com site also features a Google search engine, bringing the power of Google search to the WMS help pages. |
| #*You can now create, manage, and use irregular culverts from inside the SMS interface.
| | #XMDF file I/O |
| #*You can now choose to have SMS write zpts to a new xf file format that is binary and very fast to read/write. | | #*The WMS 8.1 file format has been modified to use the [[XMDF]] file format as the default format. This format provides for faster WMS file I/O and good WMS file viewing capabilities with the [http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/hdf-java-html/hdfview/ NCSA HDFView] editor which can be used to edit any XMDF-formatted file. |
| #*Includes manhole support for the new TUFLOW manhole features. You can specify options for the automatically generated manholes and override these settings using a TUFLOW manhole coverage. | |
| #*You can now select grid cell locations (9 cell locations used by TUFLOW) using the “Feature objects->Select/Delete Data” command. | |
| #Cartesian grids store their own projection and reproject on the fly | |
| #*You can now have a projection associated with each of your cartesian grids. The grid will be reprojected on the fly into the working projection for display purposes. You can right-click on the grid and choose “Work in grid projection” to easily change your working projection to the grid’s projection which is required for working with the grid and using tools.
| |
| #*Note: Bouss2D and CMS-Wave do not currently have the ability to save this projection information.
| |
| #STWAVE Updates
| |
| #*We are now linked to STWAVE version 6 which has new file formats and improvements made by the model developers. You can now extract boundary conditions from a larger WAM run and have improved iteration control for the full-plane version. The new interface/model allows you to specify names for your boundary condition cases.
| |
| #Improved Crash Reports | |
| #*The crash reports from SMS now contain more information often enough for our developers to fix the issue without any user interaction. Please allow SMS to post this information so our developers can fix issues that arise. | |
| #Dynamic background images from the web through ArcGIS
| |
| #*If you have ArcGIS on your computer, you can use the GIS module within SMS to get background imagery that updates on the fly from the internet.
| |
| #Particle module/PTM changes | |
| #*Particle sets can have a projection defined and are reprojected on the fly. | |
| #*You can estimate the number of particles that will be generated in by a PTM source coverage. This helps ensure you don’t accidentally generate so many particles that the computations take to long.
| |
| #*Virtual gages - You can use virtual gages to determine concentrations and other data around a point or within a polygon.
| |
| #*Particle filters - You can use particle filters to display a subset of particles to use for display, selection and compute grid datasets. You can use this to look at particles from particular sources, etc.
| |
| #Bouss2D changes | |
| #*You can now have variable roughness defined by map polygons for a Bouss2D simulation | |
| #GenCade changes
| |
| #*Wave gage event wave directions can now be specified in conventions other than shore normal, such as meteorological and oceanographic.
| |
| #*Left and right bypass coefficients can be specified for inlets. The Y Left and Y Right have been removed and replaced by the left and right bypass coefficients.
| |
| #General Features | |
| #*If you do ''File'' | '''Save as''' and choose an image file, SMS writes an associated world and projection file | |
| #*You can change the symbol size used in plots
| |
| #*You can convert mesh elements to polygons using '''Mesh→Map.''' This makes it possible to get your mesh elements into a shapefile
| |
| #*SMS now uses the existing background for flowtrace and drogue plots rather than have this specified separately
| |
| #*''Zoom to'' options to easily see specific information including: zoom to mesh, grid, scatter, and selections
| |
| #*Option to always use white when printing rather than current background color
| |
| #*You can now import TINs from LandXML files
| |
| #*Find/select map points, arcs, and polygons by id (use zoom to selection to find in busy coverages)

| #General New Features
| |
| #*<div>'''Vista Support''' – Text rendered in earlier versions of SMS did not display correctly when run under Windows Vista. This has been fixed in SMS 10.0.</div>
| |
| #*<div>'''Graphics Improvements''' – The display pipeline has been completely overhauled in order to support hardware acceleration and reduce memory usage. In addition fill behind labels and aligning automatic contour labels with linear contours now work.</div>
| |
| #*<div>'''Improved DWG Support''' – SMS 10.0 now supports AutoCAD files up to and including version 2008. In addition, AutoCAD files are displayed in 3D rather than 2D background data as in SMS 9.2.</div>
| |
| #*<div>'''[[KMZ_files|KMZ File]] Export''' – SMS can now export the currently displayed image as a raster with geo-referencing in a *.kmz file. [[KMZ_files|Kmz files]] can be visualized inside of [http://earth.google.com/ Google Earth].</div>
| |
| #*<div>'''[[Import_from_Web|Import Data From Web]]''' – When importing data from Terraserver, SMS brings up a locator tool where you can locate the area to download using Microsoft Virtual Earth.</div>
| |
| #*<div>'''Arc Groups in Profile Plots''' – When observation arcs are joined into arc groups, profile plots will join the data end to end rather than seeing separate curves. This allows the creation of a single curve in a profile plot from several arcs. Since each arc can have its own color it makes it easy to identify specific locations in the data.</div>
| |
| #*<div>'''Hide Unavailable Features and Unused Options''' – The display options dialog by default only shows options for data that currently exist in SMS. When selecting a coverage type only coverages associated with registered features or models are put into the list. The preferences dialog also only works with registered features. These changes make it easier for users to find the options they want to use by hiding irrelevant features or options.</div>
| |
| #*'''[[SMS:Animations|Filmloop]] Compression options''' – You can now select a compression codec and associated quality in order to build smaller filmloop files.
| |
| #*'''Functional surface options''' – It is now possible to color a functional surface using all of the options available for color filled contours.
