The following is a list of conversion processes used in SMS.
1D Grid
A 1D Grid cannot be converted to other types of data.
The GenCade map module coverage can be converted to a 1D grid.
CAD
CAD data can be converted to the following:
Other data cannot be directly converted into CAD data while operating SMS. However, data in SMS can be exported into a CAD file format and imported back into SMS.
Cartesian Grid
A Cartesian grid can be converted to the following data types:
The following data types can be convert to a Cartesian grid:
- Area Property map coverage
- BOUSS2D map coverage
- CGrid Generator coverage
- CMS-Wave map coverage
- TUFLOW Grid Extents map coverage
- GIS data
GIS Data
GIS data can be convert to the following:
- GIS to 2D grid
- GIS to 2D mesh
- GIS to 2D scatter
- Raster to 2D scatter
- GIS to feature contours
- Shapefile to feature object
- GIS to feature objects
- GIS polygons to TIN
Data types cannot be converted to GIS objects in SMS. However, data can be exported as images or shapefiles to later be imported into the GIS module.
Map
Map data can be converted from certain coverages to other types of data. Not all coverages have data conversion options. Coverages with conversion options can be converted to the following data types:
Converting other data types to the Map module involves creating feature objects on a map coverage. In most cases, the feature objects are created on an existing coverage or a new coverage is generated during the process. Data types that can be convert to feature objects include:
- 2D grid to map
- CAD to map
- GIS to feature objects
- Mesh to map
- Scatter boundaries to map
- Scatter breaklines to map
- Scatter contours to map
Mesh
Mesh data can be converted to the following data types:
- Mesh to 2D scatterpoint
- Mesh to map
- Mesh to UGrid
The following data types can be converted to a 2D mesh:
- 2D scatter set
- ADCRIC map coverage
- ADH map coverage
- Area Property map coverage
- Cartesian grid
- CGWAVE map coverage
- FESWMS map coverage
- Generic Model coverage
- GIS data
- Mesh Generator map coverage
- PTM map coverage
- TABS (RMA2/RMA4) map coverage
Scatter
Scatter data can be converted to the following data types:
- Scatter boundaries to map
- Scatter breaklines to map
- Scatter contours to map
- Scatter to 2D mesh
- Scatter to UGrid
Nearly all data types can be converted to a scatter data with the exception of a few map coverages, UGrids, and 1D grids.
UGrid
At this time, UGrid cannot be converted to other types of data in SMS.
Data types that can be converted to UGrids includes:
- Mesh to UGrid
- Quadtree to UGrid
- Scatter to UGrid
