STWAVE may be run outside of SMS from the command prompt by entering the
command stwave3 project.sim. Here, stwave3 represents the model's
executable filename and project.sim identifies the name of the simulation
file saved by SMS. If the user wishes to build a project.sim file for input
into SMS, the file should be in column format, with comma-, tab-, or space-
delimited fields.
a. The following example project.sim file specifies the STWAVE grid
origin, orientation azimuth, and the STWAVE input and output files:
STWAVE
x0rg
y0rg
azimuth
DEP
project.dep
OPTS
project.std
CURR
project.cur
SPEC
project.eng
WAVE
project.wav
OBSE
project.obs
BREAK
project.brk
SPGEN
project.txt
Load Simulation
Visualizing STWAVE model results is possible for simulations launched
from within SMS or from the command prompt as described previously in "Run
STWAVE." Because STWAVE is a self-contained model, its model results are
not saved within SMS. So, when a simulation finishes, you will need to load the
simulation file, project.sim, into SMS.
The directory where project.sim resides should also contain the files
referenced by project.sim with some exceptions. Three optional
project.sim files, project.cur, project.brk, and project.txt
may not be in the directory. If the optional files are not in the directory, a
warning dialog will display a message to that effect. Click OK to continue. This
helpful warning is only to inform the user of file status. For a list of the files
referenced by project.sim, see the previous section, "Run STWAVE."
