Post-processing for an SRH-2D model in SMS is done using the following steps:

1. Load solution files.
The solution file should load after running SRH-2D assuming the Load Solution option was checked in the model wrapper before exiting the model run. If loading the solution file separately from the model run, do the following:
  1. Open the *_XMDF.h5 output file generated from the model run.
2. Review results datasets and data visualization.
1. Manually review dataset solutions.
  1. In the Project Explorer, click on solution dataset created from the simulation run and view results in the Graphics Window.
  2. Click through the time steps for each dataset to see changes over time in the Graphics Window.
2. Adjust the display options.
1. Set display options.
  1. Open the Display Options dialog.
  2. Set the general display options.
  3. Set general lighting options.
  4. Set display options for each module that is being used.
  5. Set contour options.
  6. Set vector options.
2. View display.
  1. Use the Rotate , Pan , and Zoom tools.
  2. Use the View menu commands found in the Display menu.
  3. Use the Frame command to center and resize the display as needed.
3. Adjust display.
Display may need to be adjusted during the remainder of the project.
  1. Use the Display Options dialog and viewing tools as needed.
  2. Use the Frame command to center and resize the display as needed.
3. Create a film loop visualization.
  1. Select a solution dataset and use the Data | Film Loop menu command.
  2. Use the Film Loop Setup wizard to specify the animation parameters.
  3. Save and view the animation file.
4. Create a plot.
1. Load solution files if not already in the project.
  1. The solution should load automatically assuming the Load Solution option was checked in the model wrapper before exiting the model run.
