Template:CMS-Flow Save Points Workflow

1. Create a CMS-Flow Save Points coverage.

Create a new coverage with the CMS-Flow "Save Points" type. 1. Create new coverage from scratch. 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. 2. Create new coverage from an existing coverage. Use the Duplicate command on an existing coverage. This will copy any feature objects on the coverage. Use the Rename command to give the coverage a new name. Change the coverage type.

2. Define save point properties.
Right-click on the CMS-Flow Save Points coverage and select the Properties command. Assign data output intervals in the Save Points Properties dialog.

3. Create save points.
Use the Create Feature Point tool to create points in the coverage. Typically at least two points are created: one in the channel near the upstream boundary, or the bridge opening, and the other in the channel near the downstream boundary.

4. Assign attributes to boundary condition arcs.
Using the Select Feature Point File:Select Feature Point or Node.bmp tool, right-click on the save point and select the Assign Save Points command. Assign save point parameters in the Assign Save Points dialog.
