Floodway delineation tool. New Simulation Run Queue that allows running multiple simulations at once for SRH-2D, ADCIRC, and STWAVE. Plot option improvements: The background of all plots used to have alternating light/dark bands. The user can now control the display of this feature with a toggle in the plot options dialog. Plots can now be saved in one session and restored/loaded in another. The plots are saved using the File | Save As command and specifying the type to be ".plt". When a plot is loaded, SMS looks for a mesh and datasets that were specified for the plot display. If a mesh doesn't exist, SMS looks for another mesh that contains an appropriately named dataset. If the dataset doesn't exist in the folder named in the plot file, SMS looks for another dataset with a matching name in a different folder. Mesh generation changes: During the mesh generation process, SMS will no longer redistribute vertices on the boundary arcs based on a size function. This process is available in the Redistribute Vertices dialog and is done on an arc-by-arc basis. The Map → Mesh command used to bring up the 2D Mesh Options dialog. This dialog is now no longer used. See the archived article for more information. GIS Module Faster lidar file import process. New lidar tools and display options. Hill shading display option has been removed. Map Module Constant paving density option. Arc redistribution based on size function. This impacts mesh generation because it is not done automatically during mesh generation anymore. New Snap Mesh to Arcs command which changes mesh nodes to match arc nodes and vertices. Faster meshing. Meshing now handles single segment breaklines. Meshing no longer redistributes the arcs when scalar paving is used. Mesh Module Ability to interpolate solution sets to another mesh. Scatter Module Convert 2D scatter sets to raster data. Laplacian interpolation option removed. ADCIRC ADCIRC graphical interface changed to allow having multiple simulations in a single project. HEC-RAS HEC-RAS 2D grid generation tool. Creation of DEM for HEC-RAS and autolink to this DEM. Use of material coverage with polygons defining zones and material list defining attributes. HEC-RAS translator process completed when exporting files. FESWMS FESWMS is no longer supported in SMS. The interface has been removed. SRH-2D Link to HY-8 for culvert calculations via a table of flow rates - significantly reduces for HY-8 computation time. Update to internal links to allow for a rating curve inflow condition to these structures. Support for internal momentum-less source/sinks. STWAVE STWAVE graphical interface changed to allow having multiple simulations in a single project. TUFLOW 2D Miscellaneous options added to the Model Control dialog.

Default Contour Range options added to the Preferences dialog. Data points on plots can be selected to show the point values. Map A transparency can be set for filled polygons (such as materials) in the map Display Options. Right-clicking on an arc in an observation coverage now has the option to directly generate an observation plot from that arc. SRH-2D Ability to create inflow-outflow link structures that model flow between two separate meshes. Update to internal links to allow for a rating curve inflow condition to these structures. Link to HY-8 for culvert calculations via a table of flow rates—significantly reduces for HY-8 computation time.
12.2	2016 Sep - beta 2018 May - final	Community Version The SMS Community Version is an unlicensed version that allows using a basic interface to: Open and view files. Generate a mesh (limited to one mesh). Use the SRH-2D interface (limited to one simulation). General Features Options added to Smooth Arc tool. Size functions can be used to redistribute vertices along an arc. Curvilinear Grid SMS can now use multiple curvilinear grids. Curvilinear grids can now be duplicated. UGrid Module UGrid module added to SMS. CMS-Flow Structures coverage added. Monitoring stations coverage added. HEC-RAS Now uses the simulation process similar to that used in SRH-2D. Can be used to export geometry generated in SMS for use in HEC-RAS. SRH-2D New sediment materials coverage. Pressure zones with arched ceiling elevations. Weir flow over pressure zones. Internal links to connect internal source and sinks. Internal source/sinks. Option to use energy total head instead of water-surface elevation for culverts. Removed Features The GIS to Feature Objects Wizard no longer allows creating a new coverage during the conversion process. Existing coverages can still be selected.
12.1	2015 Nov - beta 2017 Jan - final	General Features An option was added to restore factory defaults in the File | Save Settings command. A new tool was added to the dataset toolbox to perform a comparison between datasets on different geometry. Functionality to load/use cross section and centerline data from HEC-RAS simulations added. An option to create a summary table to compare 2D Hydrodynamic results with traditional 1D model results at river cross sections. Polygons that share a common arc(s) can be merged into a single polygon. Data from the Coastal Hazards System can now be imported into SMS on Spatial Data coverages. New tool in the Dataset Toolbox allows comparison of datasets from different geometry without interpolation to a common geometry first. New Workflow Outlines are available to simplify learning and remembering the steps for performing modeling processes. Model Interfaces SMS includes a new simulation based interface for the Coastal Modeling System (CMS) (see Fact Sheet and Product Description). GIS Module A new GIS module was introduced in version 12.0 and has been significantly enhanced in SMS 12.1. All images, rasters, shapefiles and lidar tiles are loaded into this module for common management. Rasters, previously accessed through the Raster module are now economically managed as GIS objects. Display options include an image representation or a point cloud. Tools for interpolation of elevation data to grids, meshes and scatter sets. Tools for conversion to scatter set, resampling, smoothing, trimming and editing. Tools for extracting land use data for mapping to ADCIRC spatial or nodal attributes. Map Module New Arc tools Redistribution from a source arc to an adjacent target arc. This feature is very useful to coordinate vertex placement for patch construction. Arc offsetting and selecting tools. Spectral Coverage A spectral coverage can now be copied by right clicking on the coverage and selecting Duplicate. This allows spectral points to be broken into smaller sets or spectra to be modified. Mesh Module Mesh elements can be selected and converted into feature arcs. The arcs have the default attributes of the coverage they are assigned to. Quadtree Module Cartesian grids (both regular and irregular) can be converted to Quadtrees by right clicking on the grid A Quadtree can be edited to conform to sizes specified on a polygon by polygon basis in a Quadtree Generation coverage by right clicking on the Quadtree and selecting the refine command. Quadtrees can be edited manually by selecting on or more cells, right clicking and selecting the Split Cell(s) or Merge Cell(s) commands. The split command subdivides each selected cell into four cells. The merge identifies the three sibling cells for each selected cell. If those cells have not been subdivided, the four cells are merged into a single cell. A cell at the base level cannot be merged. The elevation dataset on Quadtrees can be smoothed by right clicking on the Quadtree object and selection the Smooth... command. Datasets on a Quadtree can be interpolated to other geometric objects by right clicking on the Quadtree and selecting Interpolate to.... A Quadtree is saved as a *.tel file when a CMS-Flow simulation is exported to native input files. ADCIRC Improved utilization of NLCS raster data for population of nodal/spatial attributes (fort.13 file) Update to the version of "aswip.exe" that is installed with SMS and how SMS calls this utility to convert NWS = 8 to NWS = 19 format. SMS was modified to read/maintain "Generic" nodestrings that are defined on a grid. Attributes of a cyclonic storm stored in PBL Trop or ADCIRC Cyclonic storm models (NWS = 8 and 19) are now converted as far as possible when converting between formats. When an ADCIRC grid is read in, the range of the coordinates is computed and if it is within geographic limits, the projection of the grid is set to geographic. ADH Various minor improvements in the interface to SEDLIB CMS-Flow The CMS-Flow development team has produced a new version of the model itself. Implicit mode is now recommended as the normal methodology resulting in much shorter run times. The entire interface is now simulation based. This means that a simulation is explicitly represented in the project explorer with links to the components of the simulation such as a quadtree to represent the geometric domain and a coverage storing the boundary conditions. SRH-2D The simulation based interface that was unveiled as part of the interim release 12.0 is now available with full functionality. A new tool to compute an EXIT-H depth or rating curve has been added. The user specifies one or more flow rates, a friction slope and a source of topology. SMS computes either the normal or critical depth for each specified Q based on the cross sectional area of the associated arc. The snap preview functionality was significantly sped up. New version of HY-8 allows reuse of culvert crossings in multiple simulations and projects. Support of 1D structural elements including: Weir flow not represented in the mesh HY-8 culvert crossing – This is a significant improvement over the initial link between SRH-2D and the HY-8 culvert calculation engine. User can now define the crossings before setting up the SHR-2D simulation allowing the model to use existing HY-8 files HY-8 files can be reused in multiple simulation or projects. Internal culvert – This structure uses the definition of a simple culvert used by the FST2DH program (previously sponsored by FHWA). This structure allows for faster calculation of culvert flow than can be supported by the current version of HY-8. Pressure zones – This feature allows the user to define regions that have a ceiling elevation. SRH-2D includes the pressure forces and flow resistance from the bottom side of the deck in 2D hydrodynamic calculations. Gates – This structure can be used to represent a sluice gate condition. Obstructions – This feature allows general representation of flow blockage around a point (such as a pier) or along a line (such as a bridge deck). STWAVE STWAVE nesting functionality is now supported through the spectral coverage option. TUFLOW FV New version of the TUFLOW-FV model was incorporated along with an updated version of the tutorial. WAM A new function was added to convert WAM output to spectral coverages. This allows them to be used as input for STWAVE or CMS-Wave.

These options are now saved in the MODFLOW super file and are therefore portable. Capture Zone Analysis dialog rearranged CCF files are read more generically and data in unsupported packages is imported MODFLOW writes out the final array values of input arrays that use parameters. For example, if HK is being estimated with pilot points then part of the MODFLOW solution in the Project Explorer will be an HK data set with the final array values. Stochastic analysis of MODFLOW solutions now includes calculating the min, max, mean, and standard deviation of the MODFLOW parameter arrays that are part of the MODFLOW solutions. PEST Push-of-a-button support for PEST null space Monte Carlo. Generate multiple calibrated models for uncertainty analysis.

Create a static image from the dynamic image to save with the project Raster/DEM import and interpolation Support for large DEMs (multiple formats) and GeoTIFFs containing elevation data (such as those created from USGS NED data online maps). These can be imported and interpolated directly to TINs, 2D scatter points, 2D grids and 2D meshes without the need to convert to 2D scatter points. DEMs can be exported in multiple formats. Images moved to be under GIS layers. Images folder no longer exists. Horizons to Solids using rasters Project On-The-Fly Individual objects can now define their own projections and get projected on-the-fly to the display projection. This is how images have always worked and now it's available for all GMS objects. Projection files saved and imported A projection file (.prj) is saved whenever a geometric object (TIN, mesh, borhole etc) is exported to a file. GMS will also look for a corresponding .prj file whenever a file is opened if the current projection is local. If one is found, it is opened and the current projection is set to the information in the file. This is a precursor to full project-on-the-fly which is in the works. Current projection displayed at the bottom of the graphics window Latitude/longitude displayed at the bottom of the graphics window CAD file changes Support for having multiple CAD files added to the project CAD files are no longer saved when the project is saved CAD properties dialog Tutorials MNW2 tutorial for non-vertical wells and pump capacity MODFLOW Subsidence Package MODFLOW STR Package Split MODFLOW conceptual model tutorial into two Null Space Monte Carlo Online Maps Rasters Horizons with Rasters Miscellaneous Measure tool The static tool palette gets a new tool for quickly and easily measuring distances.
