AdH Coverages

The AdH interface includes a few map coverages. These map coverages are used to provide input for the AdH simulation. AdH use the following model specific coverages:

• Boundary Conditions
• Materials
• Sediment Materials

AdH Simulation

Example of an AdH simulation in the Project Explorer

Simulations are available for AdH starting in SMS 13.3. A simulation should contain a 2D mesh and an AdH boundary conditions coverage, and optional AdH coverages. Right-clicking on the simulation will display options and dialogs.

To create a new simulation:

1. Right-click on empty space in the Project Explorer and select New Simulation | AdH. A new tree item will appear.
2. Drag and drop simulation components under the newly created simulation tree item . Components available include:
   • 2D mesh
   • Boundary Conditions coverage
   • Materials coverage

Multiple AdH simulations can be included in a single project.

Simulation Components

An AdH simulation uses the following components in the model run:

• 2D mesh – Any generic 2D mesh will work. Generally this mesh should be created from the Mesh Generation coverage.
• Boundary Conditions coverage – Contains arcs defining the boundary condition attributes for the model run.
• Materials coverage – Allows creating recording stations at specified nodal locations.
• Sediment Material coverage –

Each component can be added to the simulation by selecting the component and dragging it under the simulation item in the Project Explorer. Linked 2D mesh and coverages will be displayed under the simulation.
