The ADCIRC Graphical Interface includes tools to assist with creating, editing and debugging an ADCIRC model. The ADCIRC interface exists in the 2D Mesh Module.

Model Control

The ADCIRC Model Control Dialog is used to setup the options that apply to the simulation as a whole. These options include time controls, run types, output options, global parameters, print options and other global settings.

Boundary Conditions

All numeric models require boundary condition data. In ADCIRC boundary conditions are defined on nodestrings. The default boundary condition is a closed boundary (no flow). See ADCIRC BC Nodestrings for more information.

Running the Model

The ADCIRC files are written automatically with the SMS project file or can be saved separately using the File | Save ADCIRC or File | Save As menu commands. See ADCIRC Files for more information on the files used for the ADCIRC run.

ADCIRC can be launched from SMS using the ADCIRC | Run ADCIRC 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 ADCIRC | Model Check menu command.
