This page outlines some utilities that may be used to convert FLO2D model files into a format which is compatible with TUFLOW. The utilities are available for download from the the TUFLOW <u>[httphttps://www.tuflow.com/Tuflow%20Tutorial%20Models20Utilities.aspx TUFLOW website]</u>.<br>If you have any suggestions to be included in these pages, please emailcontact <font color="blue"><u>[mailto:support@tuflow.com support@tuflow.com]</u></font>.<br><br>

* Width reduction factors (flow constriction features)
* Inflow/outflow locations
* Boundary condition timeseriestime series data
 
These datasets are written to the standard TUFLOW model folder structure. TUFLOW control files are also output (tcf, tcg, tbc, boundary condition database).

<ol>
<li> Place a copy of the flo2d_to_GIS.exe utility in the same location as the FLO2D model files.
<li> Create a new text file in the same location as the FLO2D model files. The name is must have the extension ".tmc". For example the file name could be "run_model_Conversion.tmc".
<li> Enter the relevant command syntax (shown in italics below).
<li> The model conversion can be run either by dragging the TMC file onto the flo2d_to_GIS.exe utility, or from a batch file. Steps to create a batch file are:
<ol>
<li> Create a new text file in the same location as the TMC and FLO-2D files. The file name must have the extension ".bat". For example the file name could be, "run_FLO2D_to_GIS.bat".
<li> Reference the executable, specify the batchfile flag (-b) and the TMC file name within the text file. Additional conversion references can be specified in series to process multiple models in seriessequence, for example: <ol>''flo2d_to_GIS.exe -b conv1.tmc''</ol><ol>''flo2d_to_GIS.exe -b conv2.tmc''</ol><ol>''flo2d_to_GIS.exe -b conv3.tmc''</ol>
<li> Double click the batch file in windows exploreexplorer to execute the model conversion.<br>

== Utility Output ==
flo2d_to_gis.exe will convert the FLO-2D model into a working TUFLOW model titled: ''conv_001.tcf''
 
[[File: Flo2d_tcf.JPG]]<br>
 
The following items will be from the FLO-2D model towill be included within the TUFLOW model:
* Model origin, grid orientation, extent and resolution to the FLO-2D
* Topography (elevation) datasets
* Landuse delineation information (non-varying with depth)
* Storage adjustment features
* Width reduction factors (flow constriction features)

== Model Conversion Limitations ==
ItemsSome FLO-2D datasets will not automatically be translated across to the TUFLOW model. These items can be manually added to the model using the commands listed includebelow:
* Depth varying manning's n (shallow n): properties''Read Materials File == <file>''
* Distributed hydrology rainfall inflow data: ''Read GIS RF == <file>''
* Infiltration and evaporation data: ''Read Soils File == file.tsoilf''
* 1D channel data: ''ESTRY Control File == <.ecf_file>''
* Levee breakline features: ''Read GIS Z Shape == <file>''
* Dam and levee breach data
* Dam and levee breach data TUFLOW command: ''Read GIS Variable Z Shape == <file>''
