=1D Timestep=
Selection of a 1D timestep that is too large can cause instability. The <u>[https://docs.tuflow.com/classic-hpc/manual/latest/ TUFLOW manualManual]</u> includes some discussion on 1D timestep selection and courant number criterion. Conceptually a 1D timestep should be chosen to ensure a volume of water does not travel a distance longer than the shortest 1D channel within a model. For example, if the flow velocity and celerity is 5m/s and the 1D channel length is 10 metres, the 1D timestep should be less than 2 seconds. To provide some tolerance for faster flows associated with different flood events, a timestep of 1 second may be appropriate.
 
During real world studies it is good practice to check the 1D timestep sensitivity: <br>

For a culvert, this is done by snapping a 1d_nwk point feature to the end of the 1d_nwk line feature and setting the 1d_nwk point attributes:
* Type = Node
* UCS = T
* CONN_1D_2D = SX
2D cells will be automatically selected as a 1D/2D SX links. The number of cells that are associated with the 1D/2D SX link will be defined by the nodal storage of the 1D channel. The figure below shows the 1D/2D linking cells in the 5m, 2m and 1m cell size models using this method.<br>
