| ==Creating a Simulation with Transect Coverages==
| | The model is currently only available for developers. If you are a developer, see the [http://www.xmsdevwiki.com/wiki/SMS:CSHORE Aquaveo developers wiki]. (log in required) |
| Create a new CSHORE Simulation by:
| |
| #Right-click in a blank section of the project explorer.
| |
| #Then select '''New Simulation→CSHORE'''.
| |
| #This brings up the coverage dialog. Select and name coverages to be created (keep the transect coverage selected). Press '''OK'''.
| |
| #This creates a simulation along with a transect coverage (roughness coverage would also be created if the option was on).
| |
| | |
| ==Working with Transects==
| |
| [[Image:CSHORE Arc Att.jpg|thumb|225 px|CSHORE Arc ''Attributes'' dialog]]
| |
| #In the transect coverage, select the '''Feature arc''' tool.
| |
| #Then click out an arc (this creates the transect).
| |
| #Then select the '''Select Feature arc''' tool. Double-clicking on the arc will display the attributes in a dialog.
| |
| #The ''attributes'' dialog contains an elevation curve and also a permeable structure curve if turned on.
| |
| #If the transect arc was created over a scatter set, the curves can automatically be created by right-clicking on the transect coverage, then selecting '''Extract Elevations'''. Then select the curve to extract to elevations or permeable structure.
| |
| | |
| ==Working with Roughness==
| |
| The roughness coverage allows a user to create different roughness zones defined within polygon boundaries.
| |
| #In the roughness coverage, select the '''Feature arc''' tool.
| |
| #Click out multiple arcs that form a closed region.
| |
| #Then select ''Feature Objects''|'''Build Polygons''' from the menu.
| |
| #Switch to the '''Select Polygon''' tool.
| |
| #Double-clicking on the created polygon will bring up the ''Friction Factor'' dialog allowing the roughness to be specified.

| |
| | |
| ==Viewing Transects Profile Plot==
| |
| Once curves have been established on the transects, a user can view the transects profile plot. This is done by:
| |
| #Right-click on the transects coverage and select '''Extract elevations''' from the right-click menu.
| |
| #Right-clicking on ''Simulation'', then selecting '''View transects profile'''.

| | |
| ==Model Parameters==
| |
| The model parameters can be viewed by:
| |
| #Right-clicking on ''Simulation'', then selecting '''Model Control'''.
| |
| The ''Model Control'' dialog has the following tabs and options:
| |

| | |
| ==Running the Model==
| |
| Running the model is accomplished by:
| |
| *Right-clicking on ''Simulation'', then selecting '''Save, Export and Launch CSHORE'''.
| |
| *This writes out the necessary input files for CSHORE in a folder called CSHORE in the same directory as the project.
| |
| *The model will run, creating text file output of the CSHORE results.
| |
| *Upon exiting the ''model wrapper'' dialog, the CSHORE results will be converted into a different format for SMS.
| |
| | |
| ==Solution View==
| |
| To view the Solution View:
| |
| *Click on the ''Plot Wizard'' located on the bottom toolbar.
| |
| *Select '''CSHORE Solution View'''.
| |
| *Click '''Next'''.
| |
| *In the dialog there is a mode for ''Profile'' and ''Time series'' that can be chosen from the combo box on the top left side of the dialog. ''Time series'' may not be chosen if wave overtopping and/or moveable bottom are turned off for all of the simulations.
| |
| *In ''Profile'' mode, the user may select multiple simulations and datasets, along with a single transect and time step.
| |
| *In ''Time series'' mode, the user may select multiple simulations, datasets, and transects.
| |
| *After the options are chosen, the user can hit "Update" in order to see a plot of the data on the right side of the dialog.
