The EFDC coverage is used to create curvilinear grids for use with the EFDC model (EFDC grid format). A curvilinear grid has I and J coordinates but the cells do not have to follow straight lines like rectilinear grids see Curvilinear Grid Module.

The coverage doesn't contain any point or arc attributes.

The EFDC coverages uses the same meshing tools as other SMS coverages but with limited options. The only supported meshing option is rectangular patches. Patches cannot have transitions (all opposing sides must have the same number of vertices). See Mesh Generation for more information about the meshing options available in SMS.

EFDC Model Control

The EFDC Model Control dialog is accessed using the EFDC | Model Control... menu item or by right-clicking on the EFDC simulation and selecting the Model Control command.

Dialog Description
