Figure 6.

Creating a wavelength function for a wave period of 6 sec

Ocean polygon. For the ocean polygon (Figure 8), set the Mesh Type to Scalar Paving Density.

This tells SMS to generate a mesh with a density interpolated from a size scatter set. Click the

Scatter Options button to open the Interpolate window. Select Size10_T6 for the Scatter Set to

Interpolate From, Linear for the Interpolation Option, and Single Value with a value of 0.0 for the

Extrapolation box.

For the Bathymetry Type, input Scatter Set to indicate that the mesh elevations will be interpolated

from scatter set data. Once again, a Scatter Options button will appear and selecting this button

brings up a similar Interpolation dialog. The same input as before should be entered except that the

elevation data set should be input for the Scatter Set to Interpolate From.

Finally, the Polygon Type/Material is input as Ocean.

Breakwater polygons. The other two polygons represent the detached breakwater polygons. The

attributes for these polygons will have a Mesh Type of None and the Polygon Type/Material as

Land.
