TUFLOW SWMM Tutorial Introduction: Difference between revisions

TUFLOW uses QGIS as its Graphical User Interface (GUI), in combination with text editor and spreadsheet software, for its model creation and result viewing. The group of software creates an extremely workflow efficient and flexible modeling environment. Notably, QGIS does not experience the data load/visualisationvisualization lag and display issues some other hydraulic modeling software GUIsGUI's are limited by when working with larger datasets.<br>

This tutorial model does not require a TUFLOW licencelicense.<br>

To build the tutorial model, download the dataset below. This includes a digital elevation model (DEM), aerial photography, background model data for the tutorial model and a working version of the model. GeoPackage database has been used as the GIS format for the model build tasks. For tips on using GeopackageGeoPackage databases see <u>[https://wiki.tuflow.com/GeoPackage_Tips GeoPackage Tips]</u>.

The download dataset contains the input files and working version of the tutorial model for reference. Results and check files are not included to keep the size of the download file manageable,; they canwill be created bywhen running the model simulations. The folder should be placed in a location with write permissions.<br>

The tutorial model is presented in a number ofseveral modules. All modules can be completed independently, however new users are encouraged to undertake the modules in sequence:
