=Introduction=
In this page we compare the peak flood levels for the existing and developed case runs to calculate flood afflux. This requires the '''3D analyst toolbox'''. If you do not have this toolbox it will be necessary to calculate the results outside of ArcMap using the TUFLOW utilities. This process is outlined [[Tutorial_Module05_Archive#TUFLOW_Utilities | in the tutorial module]].
=Method=
<ol>
<li>Open ArcMap and ensure that you have a 3D analyst licence available (if you do not have a 3D analyst licence, the TUFLOW utilities can be used to create the difference raster see [[Tutorial_Module05_Archive#TUFLOW_Utilities | here]].</li>
<li>From the '''TUFLOW\Results\M05\2D\''' folder, open both the '''M05_5m_dev_001_hMax.asc''' and '''M05_5m_exg_001_hMax.asc''' grids. These can simply be dragged and dropped into the layer control or they can be imported using the ''Conversion >> To Raster >> ASCII to Raster'' toolbox item.</li>
<li>Once these grids have been opened they can be coloured or interrogated using the standard ArcGIS methods. In the image below they have been shaded.</li>
[[File:Tute M05 Arc Grids.JPG|600px]]
<li>To calculate the flood impacts we will subtract the existing case results from the developed case. To do the open the '''3D Analyst Tools>> Raster Math >> Minus''' item from the toolboxes:</li>
[[File:Tute M05 Arc RasterMath.JPG|400px]]
<li>At the dialogue, subtract the existing (exg) results from the developed (dev) results to (i.e. impact = dev - exg). This will create a new raster difference grid that can be styled or coloured as desired.
</ol>
=Conclusion=
ArcMap has been used to calculate the flood afflux. Please return to [[Tutorial_Module05_Archive#Compare_results |Module 5.]]
