With the release of SMS 13.1, several changes were made to how ADCIRC interfaces with SMS. Changes to the user interface for ADCIRC include the following:

  • Depth bathymetry datasets have been eliminated. Instead of a depth dataset, an elevation dataset is used. The elevation dataset uses negative Z-values to represent depth.
  • Boundary conditions are no longer assigned to nodestrings directly on the ADCIRC mesh. Instead, boundary condition attributes are assigned to feature arcs on an ADCIRC boundary condition coverage which is then mapped to the ADCIRC mesh. This method allows the arc to be snapped to the mesh which reduces the time needed to create boundary conditions.
  • The workflow for adding tidal forcing attributes has changed. Tidal forcing attributes are now created as a separate component that are linked to the ADCIRC simulation.
