Line 1: =Introduction= A number of free utilities are available onfrom ~~the~~download form the ~~TUFLOW website for~~ <u>[~~http~~https://www.tuflow.com/~~Tuflow%20Utilities.aspx~~downloads/ ~~Download~~TUFLOW website]</u>. Documentation ~~Many of~~for the various utilities ~~are~~is ~~DOS~~provided ~~executables~~below ~~and run without a graphical user interface, like~~via the ~~TUFLOW~~linked ~~engine itself~~pages. ~~There are also some excel macros and the GIS tools.~~ =~~GIS~~Console ~~Based~~Window Utilities=▼ ~~These utilities are described individually in the page linked below.~~ ~~=DOS Utilities=~~ ~~==List of DOS Utilities==~~ [[TUFLOW_to_GIS \| TUFLOW_to_GIS.exe]] [[RES_to_RES \|RES_to_RES.exe]] (replacing [[DAT_to_DAT \|DAT_to_DAT.exe]]) Line 13 ⟶ 10: [[xsGenerator \| xsGenerator.exe]] [[12da_to_from_GIS \| 12da_to_from_GIS.exe]] As with TUFLOW, there are multiple methods for running the ~~DOS~~ executables. The most common methods are from a batch file and using the right mouse button on the input file.▼ * From a Batch File (.bat): Where there is more than one input file then a batch (.bat) file needs to be created. Batch files are also powerful when you want to bulk process data. These are simply a text file containing one or more lines that execute a utility as per the examples given in the examples sections of each utility. To execute the .bat file, double click on the file in Windows Explorer. To force the .bat file to pause at the end (and not simply disappear off the screen), enter the text “pause” on the last line of the file.▼ * Using the Right Mouse Button in Windows: The right mouse button functionality is only suited to operations that only require one file as an input. For example these method can be TUFLOW_to_GIS to create a 3D surface of the results. However, it would not be suitable for using dat_to_dat to calculate the difference between files.▼ =Software Conversion Utilities and Instructions= Convert model files from other software to TUFLOW: [[FLO2D_to_TUFLOW \| FLO2D to TUFLOW]] [[HEC-RAS_to_TUFLOW \| HEC-RAS to TUFLOW]] [[InfoWorks_ICM_to_TUFLOW \| InfoWorks ICM to TUFLOW]] [[MIKE_Flood_to_TUFLOW \| MIKE Flood to TUFLOW]] [[Flood_Modeller_to_TUFLOW \| ~~Flood_Modeller~~Flood Modeller to TUFLOW]] ~~==Running DOS utilities==~~ ▲As with TUFLOW there are multiple methods for running the DOS executables.
