The Complete Surface-water Solution SMS Logo Access a full range of coastal and riverine solutions with SMS - the leading application for surface-water modeling. Flexible modeling approaches Aquaveo pioneered the conceptual model approach. Build a conceptual model in SMS by constructing a high level representation of the model using familiar GIS objects: points, arcs and polygons. Work with large, complex models in a simple and efficient manner by using the conceptual modeling approach and easily update or change the model as needed. SMS also has powerful tools to build meshes and grids. 3D visualization optimized for performance SMS is the most advanced software system available for performing surface-water simulations in a three-dimensional environment. Interact with models in true 3D Optimized OpenGL graphics for improved hardware rendering Create photo-realistic renderings Generate animations for PowerPoint or web presentations Drape /images over the model and control the opacity Annotations – Add north arrows, scale bars, reference /images, company logos, and more Import what you need Models require data from many different sources. That’s why SMS is built to easily import numerous file types: Raster /images including georeference and projection support Topographical maps & aerial photos Elevation & bathymetry data Web data services such as TerraServer ArcGIS geodatabases and shapefiles CAD files including .dwg, .dgn, and .dxf formats Worldwide projection support including Cartesian and Geographic Systems File Import wizard for delimited text files and spreadsheets View a complete list of raster, DEM, and vector file types supported by SMS. Advanced riverine & coastal modeling SMS interfaces with a wide range of numerical models for applications including: Riverine analysis Contaminant transport Sediment transport Particle tracking Rural & urban flooding Estuarine Coastal circulation Inlet & wave modeling
