The RMA2 Graphical Interface includes tools to assist with creating, editing, and debugging a RMA2 model. The RMA2 interface exists in the Mesh Module. Users can visualize and create projects, easily modify project parameters, and view the solutions produced by the RMA2 model. Below are links describing the SMS interface that interacts with the RMA2 model.
Model Control
The RMA2 Model Control Dialog is used to setup the options that apply to the simulation as a whole. These options include time controls (steady state/dynamic), run types, output options, global parameters, print options and other global settings.
Boundary Conditions
All numeric models require boundary condition data. Boundary conditions in RMA2 include flows in/out of the model domain or known water surface elevations. In RMA2 boundary conditions are generally defined on nodestrings but may also be defined on nodes. The default boundary condition is a closed boundary (no flow). See RMA2 BC Nodestrings and RMA2 BC Nodes for more information.
Material Properties
Each element is assigned a material type. Material properties describe the hydraulic characteristics of each material type.
RMA2 Hydraulic Structures
RMA2 includes support for several different types of structures including weirs, culverts, drop inlets, gates and piers. See RMA2 Hydraulic Structures for more information.
Running the Model
The RMA2 Files are written automatically with the SMS project file or can be saved separately using the File | Save RMA2 or File | Save As menu commands. See RMA2 Files for more information on the files used for the RMA2 run.
RMA2 can be launched from SMS using the RMA2 | Run FSTD2H menu command. A check of some of the common problems called the Model Checker is done each time the model is launched, or by selecting the RMA2 | Model Check menu command.
RMA2 Menu
See RMA2 Menu for more information.
