The majority of users run single TUFLOW simulations from UltraEdit (and use a <u>[[Run TUFLOW From a Batch-file| Batch-file]]</u> for multiple simulations in succession). The benefits of running TUFLOW from UltraEdit is that it provides an environment where the .tcf and other control files can be edited, simulations started and text file output be viewed. There is also no need to close the .tcf file (or other control and output files) to run TUFLOW.<br>
 
The best way to set up TUFLOW to run from UltraEdit is described below. This will initiate TUFLOW in low priority, therefore the simulation does not dominate the computer’s CPU allowing other processes (ege.g. MapInfo, SMS, Word, etc) to perform as usual. Low priority will not slow down the TUFLOW simulation whilst no other CPU intensive processes are underway. For multiple core computers the "/low" priority switch can be omitted.<br>
 
To set up UltraEdit to run TUFLOW on low priority go to Advanced, Tool Configuration: <br>

The recommended command line argument is:
<pre>"C:\TUFLOW\Releases\2010-10\w32\TUFLOW_iSP_w32.exe" "%f"</pre>
 
Depending on the location of the executable the above command line will need to be modified.<br>
This starts TUFLOW on the default "Normal" priority, which is generally fine for multi-core machines. The priority can be changed in windows task manager (in the "Processes" tab). The priority can also be set in the Ultraedit command line using the following command line, which will start TUFLOW in "Low" priority.
<pre>start "TUFLOW" /low "C:\TUFLOW\Releases\2010-10\w32\TUFLOW_iSP_w32.exe" "%f"</pre>
This starts a new window (start) with the title "TUFLOW" ("TUFLOW") with low priority (/low) the next argument is path the the TUFLOW executable and the file argument "%f" uses the currently open file as the TUFLOW control file. Depending on the location of the executable the above command line will need to be modified. For multi-core machines the first three arguments can be omitted, this will start TUFLOW on normal priority.
<pre>"C:\TUFLOW\Releases\2010-10\w32\TUFLOW_iSP_w32.exe" "%f"</pre>
 
In the "Options" tab, set the check boxes as follows:

If you prefer running TUFLOW from batch files, you can also execute from Ultraedit using a similar method to that above. Please refer the figure below for the required tool configuration inputs:
