RMAviewer provides a dynamic link between the results of RMA-2, RMA-10 and RMA-11 and GIS packages (eg MapInfo and ArcView). It was designed specifically to bridge the communication gap between modellers and non model orientated decision makers by greatly enhancing the visual appreciation and understanding of RMA model results. RMAviewer allows the temporal and spatial results of RMA models to be shown against realistic GIS data.
RMAviewer can display RMA model results embedded with dynamic data access (thematic surfaces, time and profile views, 3D vertical slices) together with GIS layers such as cadastre, topography, aerial photos and property data bases. It is very distinct from traditional GIS tools because of its ability to show time varying spatial data in a live GIS environment.
 | Quickly access information in preset views
Information can be accessed in different views established by the modeller and structured like a Table of Contents (TOC).
Simply click on an entry in
the TOC to bring up a predetermined view and access a combination of
layers. Zoom, pan around and interrogate the active surface at will
to uncover the story behind the data. |
Thematically display the data you want to see
Any of the data types present in the RMA file can be displayed as a thematic layer. Derived data, eg; velocity * depth, Froude No., hazard categories and bed shear can also be displayed. Roam over the map to see the coordinates and the surface value in the status bar.
Setting the active surface is as simple as selecting the parameter, the range and contour interval and selecting a colour palette.
Translucent thematic mapping
allows you to see through your model results to underlying layers.
- GIS layers (MapInfo, ESRI, AutoCAD, MicroStation, Google Earth KML) |  |
| Interactively Animate it - select peak values
Animation goes beyond just playing an AVI file. At any point during the animation you can interrogate the model results or GIS layers. Pause, zoom in, read the surface and continue animation.
Velocity Vectors
Velocity vectors can be displayed on the map overlaying any other data surface at the location of the nodes and mid-side nodes of the RMA network and also in a regular grid across the entire thematic surface. Animation and peaks also work with the vectors.
Display total velocity value on the vector. |
Slice the data into time and profile views
A time series of any data type at any number of locations can be displayed in graphical and tabulated form in a separate window. Derived values are automatically calculated such as flow, flow area, and mass flux.
This data can be saved as a comma separated value (*.csv) file for use in a spreadsheet.
Profiles along any selected
alignment can be displayed and animated. |
|
 | Sophisticated 3D
Visualisation/Interrogation Tools
A vertical 3D cross section (slice) can be taken through the active results set, enhancing visualisation and understanding of 3D model results. The slice can be even be animated!
Look at a plan view of specific 3D layers (surface, one layer below surface, or bed), or at a layer at any depth (eg 0.5m below the water surface) |
Time varying flow data across any user defined cross-section in the model network can also be displayed both graphically and in tabulated form in a separate window. |
|
| Link with GIS data
Georeferenced air photos can be displayed in RMAviewer. Results can be displayed as a thematic layer on top of the air photo
RMAviewer can also integrate with GIS datasets saved as MapInfo (MIF/MID) and ArcView (SHP). Clicking on a highlighted GIS element when the GIS layer is active brings up the associated record attributes.
A selected field in a GIS table
can also be displayed as a thematic layer coloured by custom palettes
in accordance with a range of values or a list of categories. |
Hydraulic Tracer
Use hydraulic results to track the path of a particle through your model.
Track the particle in its entirety or take control and track it through as your model results update.
Move the particle at any stage of tracking.
Export particle path to GIS. |  |
 | Interrogate All Result Items At Any Location With a single click, access all result items at any location in your model results. Statistical Analysis Tools Calculate mean, minimum, maximum, and percentiles at any location as a summary table.
Prepare a thematic surface across your entuire model domain of exceedance percentiles. |
| Pre-assigned GIS field values can be linked to external files (text, photos, graphics, charts, videos, PDF's, spreadsheets, etc) which are displayed in a window when the associated GIS element is clicked. |  |
RMAviewer is available in both standalone and network (LAN/WAN) licenses.
