SMS:Quick Tour - Modules
SMS is organized into modules. Each module is associated with a particular object type. Only one module is active at any given time. As you switch modules, the menus and the tools unique to the active module are displayed.
File:Meshmodule.gif Mesh. Contains tools for editing unstructured networks. Includes tools for working with nodes, elements, nodestrings and model parameters.
File:SMSBGridModule.gif Boundary Grid. Contains tools for editing boundary fitted structured grids. Includes tools for working with cells and cell vertices, cellstrings and model parameters.
File:SMSCGridModule.gif Cartesian Grid. Contains tools for creating/editing Cartesian structured grids. Includes tools for working with cells and cell strings for cell centered grids, and nodes and nodestrings for mesh centered grids. Also includes tools for editing model parameters for Cartesian Finite Difference models.
File:3DCGridModule.jpg 3D Cartesian Grid. Contains tools for creating/editing Cartesian structured grids. Includes tools for working with cells and cell strings for cell centered grids, and nodes and nodestrings for mesh centered grids. Also includes eools for editing model parameters for Cartesian Finite Difference models.
File:ScatterModule.gif Scatter. Used for surface modeling with Triangulated Irregular Networks (TINs) or Digital Elevation Maps (DEMSs) used for background data.
File:SMSMapModule.gif Map. Used to build conceptual models using Feature Objects and Conceptual models.
File:SMSGISModule.gif GIS. Used to read in GIS objects directly using ARC Objects. Includes tools to select groups of objects and convert those objects into Feature Objects in the Map module.
File:SMS1DRiverModule.gif 1D River. Used to edit and manage river cross sections along river reaches for 1D hydraulic models.
File:SMS1DGridModule.gif 1D Grid. Used to edit 1D grids used in beach morphology modeling.
File:SMSParticleModule.gif Particle. Used to manage and create Lagrangian particle trace simulations and display their results.
