The HyPAS was designed to perform all major functions after data collection to
report writing. The system supports hydraulic and hydrodynamic studies involving:
a. Velocity
(1) Plan view contours
(2) Plan view vector plots
(3) Cross-section plots
b. Sediment
(1) Grain-size distribution plots
(a)
Frequency weight histogram
(b)
Cumulative frequency weight percent
(2) Composite sample from multiple samples
(a)
Comparing composites with reference curves
(b)
Adjust fill factor (RA)
(c)
Renourishment factor (RJ)
Project management
c.
(1) Importing photographs
(2) Time series data analysis
d. New tools are constantly under development to meet sponsors' needs.
HyPAS' velocity analysis tools provide three basic applications: contouring an
area in plan view from a user -defined constituent and depth range, generating cross
sections from a transect, and plotting vector magnitude and direction in plan view
from a user -specified depth range. HyPAS' Sediment sample analysis tools allow the
user to generate frequency weight plots, calculate composite sample plots, and
perform varied analysis routines. HyPAS' project management tools allow the user
to import photographs for project enhancement and import time series data to
manage and plot.
System Specifications
HyPAS Version 4.0.1 is developed to run within ArcView GIS 3.0. All of the
ArcView GIS 3.1 minimum requirements must be met. Additionally, the following
requirements apply:
