|---|---|---|---|
| Riverine & Coastal Modeling | n/a | n/a | The Partical Tracking Model (PTM) is a Lagrangian particle tracker designed to allow the user to simulate particle transport processes and is used in coastal projects including dredged material dispersion and fate, sediment pathway and fate, and consitituent tranport. |
Generic Model Interface
| Category | Type | Method | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riverine & Coastal Modeling | n/a | n/a | SMS has a generic interface whereby any two-dimensional finite element or finite difference model can be run using SMS as a pre- and post-processor. |
Dynamic Model Interface
| Category | Type | Method | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riverine & Coastal Modeling | n/a | n/a | The dynamic model interface is a more flexible and powerful alternative to the generic model interface that has been supported by SMS for several years. This methodology allows a model developer to define all the attributes of an interface for a specific model in an XML file. SMS will read this file when launched, and then interact with the model. |
