Geometry Components

Grids are shared through geometry components as explained in the TUFLOW 2D tutorial. There should be existing Geometry Components used in previous modules. We will create a copy for this module.

1. Right click on 5m geo Culvert geometric component and select Duplicate.
2. Change the name of the new component to M03_5m_geo.
3. Drag and drop the Road_Crest_Survey and Creek_Centre_Line coverages into this geometry component
.

TUFLOW Simulation

We will use the TUFLOW simulation from Module02. Our new simulation will be very similar to our existing two simulations. Rather than create a new simulation and copy all of the shared information, we will make a copy of the simulation from Module02 and change only the things that will be different. To do this:

1. Right click on the TUFLOW simulation M02_5m_001 and select Duplicate in the menu that appears.
2. Change the name of the new simulation to M03_5m_001.
3. Under the new simulation M03_5m_001, find and delete (Right click | Delete) 5m_geo_Culvert component. Make sure that Culverts and Culvert_Connections coverages are still listed under this simulation.
4. Drag the component M03_5m_geo into this simulation.

Material Definitions

Material properties were defined previously. See this section from the Module 1 tutorial to review how to do this.

Simulation Setup and Model Parameters

Coverages already in the geometry component do not need to be added to the simulation. There are no new items that need to be added underneath the simulation in the project explorer.

The TUFLOW 1D and 2D model parameters were set up previously in the Module 1 tutorial.

After completing the steps above, continue on to Run the Simulation. Note that when you run TUFLOW, a prompt may ask which BC coverage to use with the coverage "Culvert_Connections". If this happens, select the "Culvert_BC" coverage and click OK.
