=Fequently Asked Questions (FAQ) =
== Do I require a TUFLOW licence to create TUFLOW inputs and view results from a TUFLOW simulation? ==
No, a TUFLOW licence is only needed to run simulations. All TUFLOW inputs and outputs use free open formats that are read and editable by third party software, for example QGIS and Notepad++:
* Download Notepad++ to create and review tabular data: <u>[[NotepadPlusPlus_Tips | Notepad++ installation and tips]]</u>.
* Download QGIS: <u>[[QGIS_Tips | QGIS installation and tips]]</u>.
* To review maximum ASC/FLT grids just drag and drop them into QGIS.
* Install the TUFLOW Plugin: <u>[[TUFLOW_QGIS_Plugin | TUFLOW QGIS plugin installation and tips]]</u>.
* Use TUFLOW Viewer to review XMDF results: <u>[[TUFLOW_Viewer |TUFLOW Viewer]]</u>. <br>
