==SMS 11.1.0 - Beta release October 8, 2012==
SMS 11.1 is a general feature upgrade from SMS 11.0.  Standard installation is in a different directory than that used by SMS 11.0 and therefore, both versions can be installed on the same machine.
 
Licenses for SMS 11.0 which are up to date on their maintenance enable the same corresponding modules in SMS 11.1.
 
While the version is in beta release, the executable will expire after 90 days.  This is because we anticipate some revisions and corrections and we want to encourage users to work with the most stable version possible.
 
Automatic bug fix versions are posted nightly on the download site.  These are not official releases, but can be used if bugs are encountered in the beta release and the support department indicates these issues are resolved but not officially posted yet.

New features for SMS 11.1.

General Features

Dynamic Images

  • SMS can now link to dynamic image sources on the web so that the background image is updated as user pans/zooms around the domain. These images can be converted to static images for speed or if internet access may be lost.

New Online Image Sources

  • Recently, the terraserver web service that had been available in SMS was discontinued. SMS now accesses a number of new web sources for image and/or elevation data using the previous web source tools.

Project on the fly

  • All data in the SMS instance is now projected to a user specified projection for display. This makes working with data in various projections much easier and less prone to round-off or conversion errors.

Dataset Toolbox

  • Angle convention conversion for scalar datasets. For more information, see Dataset Toolbox.

Open as... command

  • General data formats such as raster, vector and image files are not always supported as native in SMS. This new command allows SMS to use the Global Mapper library to convert the data in these files to be read in to SMS.

Import Wizard column association

  • The import wizard can now associate Northing/Easting headers with Y/X.

Annotations

  • In addition to previous annotation capabilities, users can setup annotation layers so they are only visible during user specified time intervals. This would apply to film loops and stepping through time steps. See SMS:Annotations for more information.

MIKE 21 (*.mesh) File Support

  • MIKE 21 (*.mesh) files can now be loaded into SMS 11.1 and later. See the article MIKE 21 *.mesh.

Module Features

GIS

Convert GIS data to Generic model coverage

  • Users can now bring in GIS data (shape file or mif/mid) and convert this to generic model node or arc attributes. For more information, see GIS to Feature Objects Wizard.
  • Read in a boundary condition file into the GIS module. For more information, see PTM Boundary Condition File.

Map Module

  • Select all arcs connected sequentially to define a polygon. Can be used to detect poor connectivity in a conceptual model. For more information, see Select Connected Arcs.
  • Split arcs based on user specified criterion. For more information, see Split Feature Arcs Utility.
  • Convert Map feature arc and point attributes (Generic 2D mesh coverage) to mesh nodestring and node attributes. For more information, see Generic Mesh Coverage.
  • The Select/Delete Data function (Feature Objects menu) now gives the user the ability to set how points that lie on the selection polygon will be treated. For more information, see Select/Delete Data....
  • Map data can be imported/exported in MIF/MID format. For more information, see MapInfo MID/MIF.
  • Export map data in shape format. For more information, see Export Map Data in Shape Format.
  • Map files have been optimized to load faster.
  • Converting a area property coverage to a 2D grid has been optimized to convert faster.

Mesh Module

SMS 11.1.0 - Beta release October 8, 2012

SMS 11.1 is a general feature upgrade from SMS 11.0. Standard installation is in a different directory than that used by SMS 11.0 and therefore, both versions can be installed on the same machine.

Licenses for SMS 11.0 which are up to date on their maintenance enable the same corresponding modules in SMS 11.1.

While the version is in beta release, the executable will expire after 90 days. This is because we anticipate some revisions and corrections and we want to encourage users to work with the most stable version possible.

Automatic bug fix versions are posted nightly on the download site. These are not official releases, but can be used if bugs are encountered in the beta release and the support department indicates these issues are resolved but not officially posted yet.
