malibec2005uk Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi, i am a new user for SMS. i would like to know how to identify the in/out put boundary condition points? how to identify islands insid the water body? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Howlett Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 What model are you using? In general, you can use the display options to see where different boundary conditions are being applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to define the islands and the output/input flow to the water body. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Howlett Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 The required boundary conditions are MODEL specific. For example, ADCIRC requires the land and ocean boundaries to be defined with nodestrings. FESWMS requires you to only define the inflow and outflow boundaries with nodestrings. I would recommend reviewing the tutorial for the MODEL you are using for an example of how to apply boundary conditions. Tutorials can be found at the following link: SMS Tutorials You may also want to review the following articles on our wiki: * What is a node string * How to create node strings * Mesh Quality - John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However in the FVCOM model manual SMS is the recommended software to construct the mesh. this information is appeard in Chapter 17 in the manual of FVCOM. The following link is for the FVCOM site. http://fvcom.smast.umassd.edu/FVCOM/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Howlett Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I have not heard of the FVCOM model until now, although Rusty Jones told me he met a user at the last training course he taught in the UK. I contacted the model developer and I believe boundary conditions are assigned outside of SMS for the FVCOM model. I would recommend posting your question on the FVCOM Forum. - John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
