This workflow includes specific workflows needed in creating a general PTM project.
To build a PTM model in SMS, use the following:
Expand1. Start with a completed model simulation as background data.
|
- Typically a completed ADCIRC simulation is used. See the ADCRIC Project Workflow for more information.
- For simulations completed using other models, convert the data for use with PTM.
|
Expand2. Define PTM sources.
|
Expand1. Create a PTM map coverage.
|
- Create a new coverage with the "PTM" type.
Expand1. Create new coverage from scratch.
|
- Select Map Data in the Project Explorer and use the New Coverage right-click command.
- Use the New Coverage dialog to create a new coverage by selecting the desired coverage type, and naming the coverage.
|
Expand2. Create new coverage from an existing coverage.
|
- Use the Duplicate command on an existing coverage. This will copy any feature objects on the coverage.
- Use the Rename command to give the coverage a new name.
- Change the coverage type.
|
|
Expand2. Create the particle source or trap feature objects.
|
- In the PTM coverage, create feature arcs or points for the particle source or traps.
Expand1. Create feature arcs, nodes and vertices.
|
- In the Map module, create feature objects in the active coverage.
- Use the Create Feature Arc
tool to create arcs in the map coverage.
- Begin creating a new arc by clicking in the Graphics Window at either arc end. If clicking on an existing feature node, vertex or arc, the new arc will snap to that object.
- Double-click or press the Enter key to terminate the arc.
- Use the Create Feature Node
tool to create additional nodes alone or to split arcs.
|
Expand2. Modify arcs.
|
- Feature arcs often need to be edited after initial creation.
Expand3. Split arcs.
|
- An existing arc can be split by:
Expand3. Add a new connecting arc.
|
- Use the Create Feature Arc
tool to start or end a new arc on an existing arc to split the existing arc into two arcs.
|
|
|
|
|
Expand3. Define PTM model parameters.
|
Expand2. Define the PTM model parameters in the model control.
|
- Select the PTM | Model Control menu command.
- Enter simulation parameters in the PTM Model Control dialog, including:
|
|
Expand5. Review results.
|
Expand1. Load solution files.
|
- The solution file should load after running the model assuming the Load Solution option was checked in the model wrapper before exiting the model run. If loading the solution file separately from the model run, do the following:
- Open the output files generated from the model run.
|
Expand2. Review results datasets and data visualization.
|
Expand1. Manually review dataset solutions.
|
- In the Project Explorer, click on solution dataset created from the simulation run and view results in the Graphics Window.
- Click through the time steps for each dataset to see changes over time in the Graphics Window.
|
Expand2. Adjust the display options.
|
Expand2. View display.
|
- Use the Rotate
, Pan , and Zoom tools.
- Use the View menu commands found in the Display menu.
- Use the Frame
command to center and resize the display as needed.
|
Expand3. Adjust display.
|
- Display may need to be adjusted during the remainder of the project.
- Use the Display Options dialog and viewing tools as needed.
- Use the Frame
command to center and resize the display as needed.
|
|
Expand4. Create a plot.
|
Expand1. Load solution files if not already in the project.
|
- The solution should load automatically assuming the Load Solution option was checked in the model wrapper before exiting the model run.
- If loading the solution separately from the model run, open the solution file generated from model run.
|
Expand3. Create observation points in the observation coverage.
|
Expand1. Create feature arcs, nodes and vertices.
|
- In the Map module, create feature objects in the active coverage.
- Use the Create Feature Arc
tool to create arcs in the map coverage.
- Begin creating a new arc by clicking in the Graphics Window at either arc end. If clicking on an existing feature node, vertex or arc, the new arc will snap to that object.
- Double-click or press the Enter key to terminate the arc.
- Use the Create Feature Node
tool to create additional nodes alone or to split arcs.
|
Expand2. Modify arcs.
|
- Feature arcs often need to be edited after initial creation.
Expand3. Split arcs.
|
- An existing arc can be split by:
Expand3. Add a new connecting arc.
|
- Use the Create Feature Arc
tool to start or end a new arc on an existing arc to split the existing arc into two arcs.
|
|
|
|
Expand5. Use the Plot Wizard to generate plot type.
|
- The Plot Wizard can generate any of the following plot types:
|
|
|
Expand3. Use an observation profile plot.
|
Expand2. Create observation arcs in the observation coverage.
|
Expand1. Create feature arcs, nodes and vertices.
|
- In the Map module, create feature objects in the active coverage.
- Use the Create Feature Arc
tool to create arcs in the map coverage.
- Begin creating a new arc by clicking in the Graphics Window at either arc end. If clicking on an existing feature node, vertex or arc, the new arc will snap to that object.
- Double-click or press the Enter key to terminate the arc.
