This Wiki page outlines recommended steps for the conversion of an XPSWMM model to TUFLOW. <br>
 
XPSWMM is a flood and urban stormwater drainage modeling software developed by Autodesk (previously Innovyze and XP Solutions). The XPSWMM solution uses EPA SWMM for its 1D calculations, dynamically linked to TUFLOW for its 2D calculations. The software functions within a custom build Graphical User Interface (GUI). Unknown to many XPSWMM modelers, during simulation, XPSWMM processes its inputs into TUFLOW files and also calls TUFLOW for the 2D calculations. As XPSWMM uses TUFLOW for its 2D engine, like-for-like results can be achieved using this software. The modeling workflow in TUFLOW differs from XPSWMM, as TUFLOW modeling is integrated with QGIS (Geographical Information System) GIS software instead of embedded within a software specific Graphical User Interface.
 
The modeling workflow in TUFLOW differs from XPSWMM, as TUFLOW modeling is integrated with QGIS (Geographical Information System) GIS software. This is, however, a net positive. GIS integration is well-suited for working with larger datasets. Additionally, the structural design associated with TUFLOW modeling makes its general workflow extremely efficient, particularly for the automated management of multiple scenarios and events.
 
If you are building a TUFLOW SWMM model from scratch, not from XPSWMM, please refer to the <u>[[TUFLOW_SWMM_Tutorial_Introduction | TUFLOW SWMM Tutorials]]</u>. Tutorials are provided for the following topics:

Ensure you have QGIS and have the QGIS TUFLOW Plugin installed:
*Install QGIS 3.34 or later: <u>[https://www.qgis.org/endownload/site/forusers/download.html Latest 64-bit version of QGIS]</u>.
*Install the QGIS TUFLOW Plugin by following the instructions, <u>[[TUFLOW_QGIS_Plugin | QGIS TUFLOW Plugin Installation]]</u>.

<li>Save the batch file and double click it in Windows File Explorer to run the simulation. This will open the TUFLOW DOS Console Window and the simulation should be executed.
