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

Other data cannot be directly converted into CAD data while operating SMS. However, data in SMS can be exported into a CAD file format and imported back into SMS.

Cartesian Grid

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

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

  • Area Property map coverage
  • BOUSS2D map coverage
  • CGrid Generator coverage
  • CMS-Wave map coverage
  • TUFLOW Grid Extents map coverage
  • GIS data

GIS Data

GIS data can be convert to the following:

Data types cannot be converted to GIS objects in SMS. However, data can be exported as images or shapefiles to later be imported into the GIS module.

Map

Map data can be converted from certain coverages to other types of data. Not all coverages have data conversion options. Coverages with conversion options can be converted to the following data types:

Converting other data types to the Map module involves creating feature objects on a map coverage. In most cases, the feature objects are created on an existing coverage or a new coverage is generated during the process. Data types that can be convert to feature objects include:

Mesh

Mesh data can be converted to the following data types:

The following data types can be converted to a 2D mesh:

Scatter

Scatter data can be converted to the following data types:

  • Scatter boundaries to map
  • Scatter breaklines to map
  • Scatter contours to map
  • Scatter to 2D mesh
  • Scatter to UGrid

Nearly all data types can be converted to a scatter data with the exception of a few map coverages, UGrids, and 1D grids.

UGrid

At this time, UGrid cannot be converted to other types of data in SMS.

Data types that can be converted to UGrids includes:

  • Mesh to UGrid
  • Quadtree to UGrid
  • Scatter to UGrid
