=Introduction=
This page contains a brief introduction to the SMS software, for more information please see the <u>[
There are three versions of SMS available: <br>
* <u>[https://www.aquaveo.com/software/sms-community SMS Community Edition]</u>: A free version suitable for result viewing.
* <u>[https://www.aquaveo.com/software/sms-riverine-pro-package SMS Riverine Pro Version]</u>: A paid licence version suitable for advanced TUFLOW result viewing and analysis.
* <u>[https://www.aquaveo.com/software/sms-riverine-pro-package SMS Riverine Pro Version + TUFLOW Interface ]</u>: A paid licence version. It is a complete modelling package. It is suitable for building TUFLOW models within SMS and the advanced veiewing and analysis of TUFLOW results (paid licence).

Line 75 ⟶ 80:
The magnitude for vector results are also available to view as a scalar dataset. Vector results can be converted into scalar results (either Magnitude and direction or X component and Y component). To do this right click on the vector data set in the project window and select '''Vector to Scalar''' (as per the image below).

==Oblique Views (3D)==▼
SMS is capable of generating animations using oblique map views to simulate a 3D animation. Step by step instructions for creating a 3D animation are available at the <u>[[SMS_3D_Animation | SMS 3D Animation]]</u> page.

==Flow Timeseries==
Right click on the “Map Data” and choose, “New Coverage”. <br>

Select “Create Feature Arc” <br>
[[File:SMS_Flux_002.JPG]] <br><br>
Digitise the arc line across the flow path which you would like to extract flows from. The line should be digitised left to right facing downstream. <br>
[[File:SMS_Flux_003.JPG|border|450px]] <br><br>
To extract the flow information, select Display >> Plot Wizard. Choose "Timeseries". <br>
[[File:SMS_Flux_004.JPG|border|600px]] <br><br>
Select: <br>
Function Type = Flux <br>
Scalar Dataset = Depth <br>
Vector Dataset = Vector Velocity <br>
Arc = Select relevant Arc (if multiple arcs have been digitized) <br>
[[File:SMS_Flux_005.JPG|border|600px]]<br><br>
This will produce a plot of the time varying flow passing through the feature arc. Data can be exported from the graph by right clicking the graph.<br>
