Visualize Simulation Output
As part of the SMS comprehensive environment, powerful post-processing
tools are provided to visualize wave information estimated by the model.
Estimated wave information is identified in SMS as a data set. Data sets consist
of a scalar or vector value for each cell in the grid. Data sets are considered
steady state if they have no time steps and are considered dynamic if they
represent different points in time. Refer to the SMS Help topic "Data Sets" for
more information.
Use the Edit Window (Figure 8) or the Data Browser to select Scalar or
Vector data set information. If data sets are representing different points in
time, the time-steps for the data sets are listed in the Time-Step list box. The
identified data set is called the Active Data set.
