Installer Help
The TUFLOW Installer is a new addition to the 2016 TUFLOW release. For more information on how the installer is configured and how to manage your TUFLOW installations, have a look at the TUFLOW Installer page.
The TUFLOW Manual
Any experienced TUFLOW user will tell you of the importance of the TUFLOW Manual and it's likely you'll keep a copy open whist building and planning your projects.
Along with this Wiki, the TUFLOW Manual will become one of your key goto locations for information. The Manual provides comprehensive documentation and advice on setting up and running a TUFLOW model. It also provides guidance on the 1D and 2D modelling process that will be of interest no matter which modelling package you're using. The Manual is available in pdf and docx format and is extensively hyperlinked to assist you in navigating the document. In the appendices you'll find the many commands available which can be directly copied and pasted into your control files. We suggest you get familiar with the document by reading through Chapters 1 and 2 to get you started.
