<li>Save '''bc_dbase_TS04_001.csv'''.

<li> When TUFLOW runs a simulation, it reads all of the defined events in the TEF, though only uses the event variables specified in the batch file. We will create a compatible batch file shortly.

<li>Save the TCF.

<li>Update the batch file to reference the '''TS04_5m_~e1~_~e2~_001.tcf''' and include event switches (-e1, -e2) defining event magnitude and event duration:<br>

If the model simulation doesn't run, here is a link to some common <u>[[Tutorial_Troubleshooting_QGIS | Trouble Shooting]]</u> advice.

Looping batch files are a powerful tool to enable high volume simulation management with the least amount syntax, and subsequently manual effort. For example, the following looped batch file executed 1440 simulation using 15 lines of syntax!

<li>Add the following commands. Indentation is important in batch files, insert tabs to match the below spacing:<br>

<font color="blue"><tt>echo </tt></font> <font color="black"><tt>off</tt></font><br>

<font color="blue"><tt>set </tt></font> <font color="black"><tt>run</tt></font><font color="red"><tt>=</tt></font><font color="black"><tt>start "TUFLOW" /wait </tt></font><font color="orange"><tt>%exe%</tt></font><font color="black"><tt> -b</tt></font><br>

<li> In the QGIS Layers Panel, move the GIS vector (line and point) layers to the top of the list. This will ensure these layers are displayed above all mesh result layers in the project.

<li>Click through the results in the 'Open Results' list to observe the different max depth values.

<li>Click the 'Clear Current Plot' [[File: QGIS_Plugin_Icon_ClearPlot.png || 20px]] button to remove all data from the plot window if needed prior to making a new selection.

*Multiple event simulations were run in sequence from a batch file.

*Creation of looped batch file was demonstrated for the efficient execution of bulk simulations.
