User:Jcreer/SMS:Data Converstion

The following is a list of conversion processes used in SMS.

1D Grid

A 1D Grid cannot be converted to other types of data.

The GenCade map module coverage can be converted to a 1D grid.

CAD

CAD data can be converted to the following:

• CAD to map
• CAD faces to 2D scatter triangles
• CAD points to 2D scatter

Cartesian Grid

A Cartesian grid can be converted to the following data types:

• 2D grid to 2D scatter
• 2D grid to map.
• 2D grid to 2D mesh

The following data types can be convert to a Cartesian grid:

• BOUSS2D map coverage
• CGrid Generator coverage
• GIS data
• 2D scatter

GIS Data

GIS data can be convert to the following:

• GIS to 2D grid
• GIS to 2D mesh
• GIS to 2D scatter
• Raster to 2D scatter
• GIS to feature contours
