SMS:RivHyd Post Processing
From XMS Wiki - http://wikis.aquaveo.com/xms/
After a simulation has been successfully run the solution file contains data at the cross sections. This data normally includes velocity and water surface elevation. Depending on the analysis program used, other data may also be available. The solution data may vary across the cross section. These solution files may be read into SMS by using File | Open.
Data Sets
Data read in from a solution file and associated with the 1D Hydraulic Module are stored as data sets with values at each cross section. In some cases, a cross section may have multiple values such as varied velocities in overbank and channel regions. These data sets can be managed through the Project Explorer.
Solution data at various cross-section and reach points for the active dataset may be exported to a text file by selecting Data | Export Solution Data. This will bring up the River Hydraulic Solution Export dialog box.
2D Plots
In order to see the model results, 2D plots must be generated. (Future releases of SMS will support the mapping of 1D results onto a Triangulated Irregular Network representing the 1D simulation). The two types of plots that can be created are:
- Cross-section plots which show model results for one or more cross-sections.
- Profile plots which displays model results along a reach. Values for the profile plot are the minimum, average, and/or maximum of the results of individual cross-sections along the reach.
Both plots are created through the Plot Wizard.
