A modelling log is highly recommended and should be a requirement on all projects. It is a technical document that provides a history of all key modelling assumptions. The log may be in Excel, Word or other suitable software. Use of a modelling log has the following benefits:
- it provides a record of model development;
 - it facilitates traceability of input sources and modeller actions; and
 - aids in the transfer of models between different users.
 
The format of the modelling log is up to the individual or company. However, it is common to use a spreadsheet be developed for use as a modelling log. Typical details to be entered into the log are:
- names (or ID) of TUFLOW simulation control files;
 - date of simulation;
 - model user;
 - details of the event modelled (duration, recurrence interval, etc.); and
 - changes since last simulation.
 
A template modelling log is available for download: Modelling Log and Quality Assurance Reviewer Spreadsheet Download.
