For general information, see the ADCIRC site, ADCIRC FAQ, or the ADCIRC Wikipedia page. For model documentation not yet available on the wiki, see the ADCIRC site. New content is being continuously added to the ADCIRCWiki, and material from the main ADCIRC site will be gradually transitioned over to the wiki.
Grid Development and Editing
Tools for ADCIRC Meshing
SMS
SMS is a commercial Windows-based graphical program for creating, editing, viewing, and running various models, including ADCIRC. It is popular with ADCIRC users due to its features and support for ADCIRC file formats. More information is available from parent company Aquaveo here and here.
OceanMesh2D
Completely open source (GNU GPLv3.0) MATLAB-based software for automated triangular mesh generation. The latest version is available from https://github.com/CHLNDDEV/OceanMesh2D [1] [2] [3].
It can be used as an end-to-end pre-processor for ADCIRC:
- Generating the mesh.
- Checking for and editing the mesh to satisfy Courant constraints.
- Generating fort.13 file attributes.
- Generating fort.15 file, including automatic generation of tidal potential information and tidal elevation boundary conditions.
- Generating other input files such as fort.24 file.
- Storing the mesh and its attributes into a
msh
class container. - Plotting the mesh and its attributes using the generalized
plot
command. - Writing the from the
msh
class container into the ASCII fort.xx input files.
