BOUSS-2D INTERFACE: Like other finite-difference models in SMS, the BOUSS-2D model is
controlled through the 2-D Cartesian grid module . The user should select the Set Current Model
command in the Edit menu and choose BOUSS-2D to activate the model interface. When BOUSS-
2D is selected as the current model, the BOUSS-2D menu and tools become available. This
document describes the standard components of the BOUSS-2D interface. It is recommended that
the user become familiar with other modules of SMS to fully exploit the interface. For example, the
BOUSS-2D grid can also be specified in the map module via a BOUSS-2D coverage. In addition,
in most simulations the user will use the scatter module
to import surveys and digital maps to
define bathymetry for a grid.
a. BOUSS-2D menu: The BOUSS-2D menu (Figure 2)
commands are listed in Table 2 along with a description of each
command.
