Tutorial Description
Read the Tutorial Model Introduction before starting this tutorial. It outlines the required links to download SMS, which we will use for mesh generation.
In this tutorial we will a build mesh of a real world estuary; Cudgen Creek on the east coast of Australia using the Aquaveo SMS. This tutorial demonstrate the skills required to build a coastal model mesh. Specifically we will:
- Use the topographic pre-processor TOPAZ to assist in defining the mesh geometry.
- X
- Y
- Z
