CMS-Wave simulation files contain a list of file names that are part of the simulation. This file is created by SMS when the simulation is exported. The file begins with a keyword that identifies this as a CMS-Wave simulation file, followed by the world origin and orientation of the grid. The origin is used to display the grid in a global projection (such as UTM or State Plane). It generally corresponds to the location of the corner of the grid offshore. The orientation is the CCW angle from East to the direction of the grid that goes from offshore to on shore. (For example, a coast that opens due West would have an orientation of 0.0, an coast line open to the South would have an orientaion around 270 (or -90) degrees.)

Sample File

CMS-Wave 902500.0 4086600 135 /* Key word, grid origin, grid orientation*/
DEP grid.dep /* Name of input file containing depth values for each cell */
OPTS grid.std /* Name of input file containing model parameters */
CURR curgrid.cur /* Name of optional input file containing current values (vx and vy) for each cell */
SPEC grid.eng /* Name of input file containing energy density spectra (required in most cases) */
WAVE grid.wav /* Name of output file for spatial wave conditions (height, direction) for each cell */
OBSE grid.obs /* Name of output file to save full spectra at specified monitoring locations */
NEST grid.nst /* Name of output file to save full spectra at specified nesting cells */
BREAK grid.brk /* Name of output file to save wave breaking indices or energy disipations at each cell */
SPGEN grid.txt /* Name of spectral parameter file, contains parameters used to generate spectra */
RADS grid.rad /* Name of output file to save wave radiation stress gradients at each cell */
STRUCT grid.struct /* Name of input file containing structure flags for each cell */
SUR grid.eta /* Name of optional input file containing spatially varied surge at each cell */

The number of particles must be the same for each time step.
