SMS:What's New in SMS 12.0

Release Notes

General Features

Preferences

• The Preferences dialog now allows users to specify third-party help using the Dynamic Model Interface Schema.

Rotate Tool

• The Rotate tool now rotates around the center of the graphics window rather than using the center of x, y, and z coordinates of the data. This allows users to more easily rotate around specific areas of the model.

Module Features

Quadtree Module

• Telescoping grids have been expanded into a more versatile Quadtree Module.
• The Map→Quadtree command has been added.

Model Features

ADCIRC

• In ADCIRC when there is a weir boundary condition on two nodestrings, the user can right-click on the nodestrings and now there is a new menu called Remove Weir. Selecting this brings up a dialog asking the user if they want to pave over the weir or merge nodestrings which will result in new nodes down the center.
• There is a new menu item called Add Weir when right-clicking on a single boundary condition nodestring. This brings up a dialog asking the user what width they want for the weir. When OK is clicked a new weir is created.

CMS-Flow/CMS-Wave

• The interfaces to CMS Flow and CMS Wave are not included in SMS 12.0. These interfaces, along with an updated version of the CMS numerical models, will be available in SMS 12.1. Current CMS users should continue to use SMS 11.2.

STWAVE

• STWAVE now supports ice datasets.
