The [[SMS:CMS-Flow|CMS-Flow]] Model Check performs a number of checks on the simulation to ensure a valid model. These checks include:
#REDIRECT [[SMS:CMS-Flow_Simulation#CMS-Flow_Model_Check]]
* All water boundaries have boundary conditions specified.
* Cell aspect ratio is no greater than 2.
* Max time step size is suggested according to an internal calculation made  within SMS.
* Make sure model control has been set up correctly (i.e. if a tidal boundary  exists, make sure that tidal constituents have been defined to force with).
* Ensure that CMS-Flow has been set up to output the specific data for any existing observation station and that observation stations exist for any specified output data. Observation is not required to run CMS-Flow so this is a reminder that something may have been intended but forgotten.
* Ensure that no invalid hard bottom specifications exist in the grid. An invalid specification may be created, for example, by setting an infeasible hard bottom scalar value in the Edit Window or adjusted the grid's geometry without updating the hard bottom.
 
The CMS-Flow Model Checker is accessed from the CMS-Flow | Model Check... menu item. It is suggested that the model checker be used prior to running CMS-Flow.
