SMS and Hydro_AS-2D are powerful tools for simplifying the development of 2D hydraulic models. 2D models are increasingly a requirement to determine the flow characteristics of a complex hydraulic system. Further, contaminant and sediment transport are problems that require 2D modeling to accurately represent complexity. With SMS and Hydro_AS-2D, 2D modeling can now be done efficiently, providing solutions with greater detail and a higher level of confidence.

In this hands-on, application oriented training course you will be provided with the knowledge and tools necessary to solve 2D hydrodynamic modeling problems quickly and efficiently with the latest versions of SMS and Hydro_AS-2D.

Course Objectives

The 2-day training course on SMS and Hydro_AS-2D covers the following:

• Learn to use advanced 2D mesh generation tools in the Map Module of SMS.
• Learn to use GIS conceptual modeling to define mesh properties, boundary conditions, and material properties.
• Learn to perform automated mesh quality-checking to identify problem areas before running a model.
• Become comfortable running Hydro_AS-2D.
• Understand model verification and stability issues.
• Learn to create reports with CAD files, contour and vector plots, and film loop animations.
