Animation film loops
Multiple STWAVE simulations produce multiple solutions. These solutions can
be animated and saved as an AVI file. Refer to the SMS "Animation" Help topic
for additional information.

Two-Dimensional Plots
SMS offers various 2-D plots. Refer to the SMS Help topic on 2-D plots for a
complete list.
A profile plot displays the variation of one or more scalar data sets associated
with a mesh or grid along arcs in the observation coverage. For instance, wave
heights along an arc may be displayed for a specific event identifier (Figure 10).
The arc can be drawn anywhere on the data set:
