Jump to navigationJump to search

A rich set of step-by-step tutorials has been developed to aid in learning how to use SMS.

Tutorial Installation

There are two options for installing tutorials. You can download the tutorials and files individually by subject matter in the SMS learning center or you can download an install that includes all of the core tutorials and files. Some of the additional tutorials (TUFLOW, PTM, CGWAVE) still need to be downloaded separately. Since most users only need a subset of the tutorials, the recommended approach is to download and install them as needed from the SMS learning center.

Accessing Tutorials Through the SMS Learning Center

The SMS Learning Center is the portal to all of the training you will need to learn how to use SMS. It is there that you can gain access to all of the SMS tutorial documents and files via download. To access the SMS Learning Center and tutorials click here, or follow these steps:

  • In the SMS Learning Center page, scroll down to the tutorials. There, the tutorials are divided into two groups: general SMS tutorials, and tutorials for specific models found within SMS. All are available for download.
