=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).
=Viewing Results=
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).

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.▼

==Animations==
Line 99 ⟶ 109:
After a few seconds (or minutes) depending on the size of the results files, an animation should appear. This animation has an .avi extension and should be playable in most media players. Below is a screen grab of the animation in Windows Media Player.

▲===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>
[[File:Map_Data.JPG]] <br><br>
Set the type to "Generic>>Observation" <br>
[[File:SMS_Flux_001.JPG|border|600px]] <br><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>
