{{{Heading}}}
- Generating a quality finite element mesh is central to using many SMS models
- Conceptual models make generating meshes easier
- Polygons can use a variety of meshing options to generate triangular or quadrilateral elements
- Polygons can be assigned bathymetry and material information that will be transferred with the mesh
- Scalar paving density generates elements with sizes based upon a size dataset allowing for smooth transitions and a large range of element sizes and is particularly useful for coastal and wave models.
- Datasets for scalar paving density can be user defined or generated using the data calculator, the create datasets command, or LTEA (linear truncation error analysis) (ADCIRC)
