Tutorial M10 001 Check Files QGIS

Introduction

QGIS is used to import the check files and review the dam break.

Method

This tutorial introduces:

• _DEM_Z.flt
• _zsh_zpt_check_P.shp
• _vzsh_zpt_check_P.shp
• _sh_obj_check_R.shp
• _grd_check_R.shp

Review the check files:

1. Open the following files from the Module_10\TUFLOW\check folder:

   • M10_5m_001_DEM_Z.flt
   • M10_5m_001_zsh_zpt_check_P.shp
   • M10_5m_001_vzsh_zpt_check_P.shp
   • M10_5m_001_sh_obj_check_R.shp
   • M10_5m_001_grd_check_R.shp

2. Use the 'Apply TUFLOW Styles to Open Layers'.
3. The DEM_Z grid shows the final elevations (at time 0) used for the model calculations. The elevation changes due to the dambreak are inspected in the Results section.
   
4. The zsh_zpt_check file contains the Zpts modified by the 2d_zsh layers with updated elevation, change in elevation and source layer. The Shape_Width attribute is specified the same as the cell size, a thick breakline is used with entire cells being modified. The TUFLOW style colour codes the symbols based on the amount raised, or lowered.
   
   
   
   
5. The vzsh_zpt_check file contains information on the elevation points that change over time, elevation change, final elevation and trigger conditions.
   
6. The sh_obj_check file displays the TIN triangles created by TUFLOW during the model initialisation and is useful to review for all merge polygons.
   
   
   
   
7. The grd_check is the 2D grid defined by the 2d_code layer and contains a region object for each cell with attributes, e.g. the IWL.
   
   
   

Conclusion

• The topographic modifications representing the dam wall, dam break and initial water level were inspected.
