The ADCIRC database includes a grid file and a harmonics file that uses an *.exe extractor to put information into SMS. In order to work with the ADCIRC Database, it's necessary to download the files separately. The needed files are:

  1. Atlantic Database and Grid Files – 74.9 MB. Covers all waters west of the 60 deg W Meridian and east of the North American continent.
    • adcircnwattides.exe (utility)
    • ec2001.grd (adcirc grid file)
    • ec2001.tdb (adcirc harmonic output file)
    • tides.in (sample file)
    • tides_ec2001.f (source code)
  2. Pacific Database and Grid Files – 86.2 MB. Covers waters along the Northern Mexican Coast, the US West Coast, the Canadian West Coast and the Alaskan South Coast.
    • adcircnepactides.exe (utility)
    • enpac2003.grd (adcirc grid file)
    • enpac2003.tdb (adcirc harmonic output file)
    • tides.in (sample file)
    • tides_enpac2003.f (source code)

These files should be unzipped and placed in C:\Program Files\SMS X.X\models (or a location of choice). It is then necessary to tell SMS where these files are located by going to Edit | Preferences and selecting the File Locations tab in the dialog.
