Getting Started

Hi and welcome to the exciting world of TUFLOW modelling!
At TUFLOW we pride ourselves on the high performance of our software, the responsiveness of our support team and quality of our training and online materials. We hope that this page will get you set up with all the information you need to start learning and running TUFLOW. As you embark on your long and successful TUFLOW modelling career, we provide you with a number of key information sources including the:

  • TUFLOW Manual
  • TUFLOW Wiki
  • TUFLOW Support
    If you have any suggestions for further content, comments or ideas we'd love to hear from you.

    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.

    The TUFLOW Wiki

    The TUFLOW Wiki Main Page is the gateway to a range of information including:

  • User tips for all of the supporting software that you can use for TUFLOW modelling (Text Editors, GIS Packages, TUFLOW Software Interfaces).
  • TUFLOW Messages Database which includes tips of the likely model initialization issue and steps to resolve it.
  • Full user documentation for the TUFLOW tutorial models.
  • Guidance on how to run TUFLOW.
  • Usage of the TUFLOW Pre and Post Processing Utilities.
  • TUFLOW Software and Hardware Benchmarking.
  • We highly recommend that you jump on the Wiki and take a peak around. If you have any questions then please don't hesitate to send us an email at support@tuflow.com.

    TUFLOW Training

    If you're looking for help with your modelling or project setups we offer a range of options for TUFLOW Training including our training days and customised training.

    Customised Training

    The most effective form of training is customised, project based training. In most situations the training focuses on the trainee(s) developing a working model for a study or project with guidance by the trainer.

    TUFLOW Workshops and Training Days

    We have a series of TUFLOW Workshops and training sessions annually showcasing new features within our latest TUFLOW release. Take a look at information on our most recent Australian training, UK training or US training and Workshops. If you want to attend or want more information then you can register your interest using the 'Training Registration' form in the bottom left corner of our Training Page or alternatively, please send us an email at training@tuflow.com.

    Tutorial Models

    We have a great set of online TUFLOW tutorials that are aimed at new users. They provide you with a step-by-step instruction set to guide you through the process of of building and running a TUFLOW model. We try to keep this up to date with the latest features in TUFLOW and the tutorials don't require a TUFLOW licence in order to run. For more on the TUFLOW tutorial,download the input data from here and take a look at the Tutorial Model Wiki Page.
