SMS:Cartesian Grid Data Menu

Most of the SMS modules have a Data Menu, but the items in this menu are different for each module. The Cartesian Grid Module Data Menu commands include:

Model Commands

• Steering Module – Launches the steering tool.
• Switch Current Model – Allows user to change current active model.

Dataset Commands

• Data Calculator – Can be used to perform mathematical operations with datasets.
• Dataset Toolbox – Contains tools for working with datasets.
• Create Datasets – Opens a dialog that can be used to create functions for the entire mesh or active scatter set.
• Map Elevation – Allows use of another functional dataset as the mapped elevation function.
• Zonal Classification – Tool to identify areas that meet as set of criteria.

Visualization Commands / Options

• Contour Options – opens a dialog where dataset specific contour options can be defined.
• Vector Options – opens a dialog where options to generate vectors can be edited.
• Film loop – opens the Film Loop Setup wizard.

Grid Commands

Find Cell

The Find Cell command from the Data menu is used to locate a cell either with a specific i,j location, or near a specific location. When this command is executed the Find Cell dialog opens.

When the Find by $(I,J)$ option is selected, the cell with the specified $i,j$ is highlighted in red. If there is no cell with the specified $i,j$, an error message is given. Conversely, when the Find by nearest $(x,y)$ coordinates option is selected, the cell containing the specified coordinate is highlighted with red. If no cell contains the $x,y$ location, an error message is given. With either of these methods, the found cell becomes selected in addition to being highlighted.
