SMS writes out all necessary files such as .tcf, .ecf, .tgc, .tbc, bc_dbase etc when ''Export TUFLOW files'' command is executed. For proper linkage of the files, a Geometric component and Simulation should be set up correctly. Follow these steps to configure the run.
==Geometric Components==
<ol>
<li>In the project explorer, find a folder named TUFLOW | Components. Under this folder, there should be a geometric component named ''5m geo Culvert'' already created from Module02.</li>
<li>Make sure it has the following items. If anything is missing, drag it from the list under ''Map Data''. If there is any extra item, remove it (Right click | Delete).
* 5m grid
* ''BC'' Coverage
* ''Materials'' Coverage
* ''1D_BC'' Coverage
</li>
</ol>
==Material Sets==
The Material set item in the project explorer is used to define Manning's roughness values for each land use type in the ''Materials'' coverage.
<ol>
<li>Under the ''Material Sets'' folder, right click ''Material Set'' and select ''Properties''. This will open the ''TUFLOW Material Properties'' dialog. Review Manning's n values for the various material types. Click OK when done.</li>
</ol>
==Simulation set up==
Several TUFLOW simulations can be created using various combinations of the same geometric components, coverages and material sets. Since we have set up necessary model geometry components and also defined the material properties, we will go ahead and create a simulation run.
<ol>
<li>In the project explorer, right click ''Simulations'' folder and select ''New Simulation''.</li>
<li>Rename the simulation (named ''Sim'' by default) to ''1D_2D Linkage''.</li>
<li>Drag ''5m geo Culvert'' geometric component under this simulation.</li>
<li>Similarly, drag the following coverages directly under the simulation:
* Culverts
* Cross_Sections
* 1DCreek
* 1D2D_Connections
</li>
<li>The project explorer should look something like this:</li>
[[File:M04_ProjExplorer.png|frame|none]]
</ol>
In the following steps we will define other model controls
===2D Model Control===
<ol>
<li>On the project explorer, right click simulation ''1D_2D_Linkage'' and select ''2D Model Control'' which will open ''TUFLOW 2D Model Control'' dialog.</li>
<li>On the left hand side of the dialog, there is a list of different categories of model control. Click on ''Time'' and define the following:
* Start time (hrs): 0
* End time (hrs): 3
* Timestep (s): 1.5
* Number of iterations: 2
</li>
<li>Click on ''Output Control'' and define the following:
* Start time: 0 hrs
* Interval: 300s
* Display interval: 6 timesteps
* Make sure ''Depth'', ''Water Level'' and ''Velocity Vectors'' datasets are turned on.
</li>
<li>Click on ''Water Level'' and define the following:
* Initial Water Level (m): 36.5
</li>
<li>Click on ''BC'' and make sure ''100 year'' has been selected under BC event name field.</li>
<li>Click OK.</li>
</ol>

===1D Model Control===
<ol>
<li>On the project explorer, right click simulation ''1D_2D_Linkage'' and select ''1D Control'' which will open the ''1D Control'' dialog.</li>
<li>On ''General'' tab, enter 0.75sec for ''Timestep (s)'' and 300 sec for ''Output Interval (s)''.</li>
<li> Click OK.</li>
</ol>
==Conclusion==
Now we have set up the simulation and defined all the Model Control Parameters, let's proceed to [[Tutorial_Module04_Archive#Run_the_Simulation|Run the Simulation.]]
