SMS:Boundary ID Files

Boundary ID files (*.bid) are used to store the ids of the nodes on all of the nodestrings in a mesh. The idea of this file is to export only the boundary ids. To do this, make sure nodestrings only exist along the boundary.

Boundary ID files are not opened in SMS but are saved using the menu command File | Save As... in the Mesh module. To save a boundary ID file (*.bid), the current mesh module model should be set to ADCIRC. Use the menu command Data | Switch Current Model... to change the current mesh module model.
