The SMS 9.2 beta is now available.  We are optimistic that the new features and enhancements will make SMS more productive than ever!  The software is a beta release so there will be frequent updates as we find and fix any remaining errors in the program.  Please provide us with feedback as you use the software.  Any reports of problems or comments on the software should be sent to support@ems-i.com

New/Enhanced Model Interfaces

  • TUFLOW – New interface – TUFLOW is a 1D/2D hydraulic model specifically suited for floodplain delineation. It features very stable domain wetting/drying.
  • M2D –Updated interface and model – now supports bed morphology including hard-bottom case.
  • STWAVE – Updated interface and model – STWAVE has been updated to support either half- or full-plane spectral transformations. The full-plane version supports waves from all directions in the same simulation and uses multiple iterations to track waves through large variations in wave directions.
  • The new version also supports spatially varied tidal surge, wind fields and bottom roughness.
  • CGWAVE - Updated interface and model – Model and interface now support floating barriers and variable bottom friction.
  • FESWMS - Updated interface and model – Interface now supports all sediment transport capabilities in the latest release of FST2DH.
  • WABED – New interface – WABED is a half-plane, steady-state near shore wave spectral transformation model.
  • GENESIS – Updated interface - 1D coastal morphology model

User interface enhancements

  • Global Time Management Tools
  • Coastal mesh generation using Local Truncation Error Analysis
  • Spindown Steering Enhancements
  • Right click menus on the selected geometric objects
  • Faster paving
  • Tool for extracting tidal boundary conditions from global databases

Bug fixes

  • Extensive reworking of the Contour options to handle all options of contour distribution and user controlled color pallet’s.
