Post-processing for an SRH-2D model in SMS is done using the following steps:
Expand 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:
Open the *_XMDF.h5 output file generated from the model run.
Expand 2. Review results datasets and data visualization.
Expand 1. Manually review dataset solutions.
In the Project Explorer, click on solution dataset created from the simulation run and view results in the Graphics Window.
Click through the time steps for each dataset to see changes over time in the Graphics Window.
Expand 2. Adjust the display options.
Expand 2. View display.
Use the Rotate , Pan , and Zoom tools.
Use the View menu commands found in the Display menu.
Use the Frame command to center and resize the display as needed.
Expand 3. Adjust display.
Display may need to be adjusted during the remainder of the project.
Use the Display Options dialog and viewing tools as needed.
Use the Frame command to center and resize the display as needed.
Expand 3. Create a film loop visualization.
Select a solution dataset and use the Data | Film Loop menu command.
Use the Film Loop Setup wizard to specify the animation parameters.
Save and view the animation file.
Expand 4. Create a plot.
Expand 1. Load solution files if not already in the project.
The solution should load automatically assuming the Load Solution option was checked in the model wrapper before exiting the model run.
If loading the solution separately from the model run, open the solution file generated from model run.
Expand 2. Create an observation coverage .
Create a new coverage with the "Observation" type.
Select Map Data in the Project Explorer and use the New Coverage right-click command.
Use the New Coverage dialog to create a new coverage by selecting the desired coverage type , and naming the coverage.
Expand 3. Create observation points in the observation coverage.
Expand 1. Create feature arcs, nodes and vertices.
In the Map module, create feature objects in the active coverage.
Use the Create Feature Arc tool to create arcs in the map coverage.
Begin creating a new arc by clicking in the Graphics Window at either arc end. If clicking on an existing feature node, vertex or arc, the new arc will snap to that object.
Double-click or press the Enter key to terminate the arc.
Use the Create Feature Node tool to create additional nodes alone or to split arcs.
Expand 2. Modify arcs.
Feature arcs often need to be edited after initial creation.
Expand 1. Create additional vertices on arcs.
Use the Create Feature Vertex tool to add vertices along arcs.
Expand 3. Split arcs.
An existing arc can be split by:
Expand 1. Converting a vertex to a node.
Use the Select Feature Vertex tool and right-click on a vertex along an arc.
Select the Convert to Node command to split the arc into two arcs.
Expand 2. Add a node the arc.
Use the Create Feature Node tool to add a node on an arc in order to split it into two arcs.
Expand 3. Add a new connecting arc.
Use the Create Feature Arc tool to start or end a new arc on an existing arc to split the existing arc into two arcs.
Expand 4. Merge arcs.
Two arcs that share an end node can be merged together.
Select the shared node using the Select Feature Node tool.
Right-click on the node and select the Convert to Vertex command to merge the arcs.
If desired, the Select Feature Vertex tool can be used to select and delete the new vertex.
Expand 4. Add observation point attributes.
With the Select Feature Point tool, right-click on the observation point and select the Node Attributes command.
Set the observation attributes in the Observation Coverage dialog.
Expand 5. Use the Plot Wizard to generate plot type.
The Plot Wizard can generate any of the following plot types:
Expand 3. Use an observation profile plot.
Expand 1. Create an observation coverage .
Create a new coverage with the "Observation" type.

Expand 4. Create and compare datasets.
Select the Data | Dataset Toolbox menu command.
In the Dataset Toolbox , compare datasets by subtracting the alternate dataset from the base dataset.
New dataset can be generated in the Dataset Toolbox using the Data Calculator .
Expand 5. Create a functional surface view.
