TUFLOW Check Files: Difference between revisions

Depending on the size of the model, the check files may contain a large amount of data, for example the _grd_check file may contain thousands or millions of cells. As a modeller you probably won't inspect each cell to ensure that the data is value, however you may want to view this for the entire model. Thematic mapping or styling the input layers can be used in your GIS software to do this.

Some tips are given below for a range of GIS platforms, however, the functionality is likely to be available in almost all GIS platforms:<br>

=Check File Types=

The check files are separated into 2D and 1D check files. The output location for these is controlled by commands in the .tcf and .ecf as described above. Not all check file types will be output for all models, if a model has no 2D Z Shape (2d_zsh) format topography modifiers then the _zsh_zpt check file type will not be output by TUFLOW. A list of the check file types is provided below. For more information on each of these please click on the page link.<br>

The DEM_M and DEM_Z check grids are written if the model start up is forced to only process the .tgc file. To do this, don’t specify or comment out, the <font color="blue"><tt> BC Control File </tt></font> command.

| [[Check_Files_1d_to_2d_bc | _1d_to_2d_check]]|| Displays the 2D cells connected to 1D nodes via 2D HX and 2D SX 2d_bc objects including SX boundaries from 1D features. Additional information is supplied through the attributes.<br>

In the _1d_to_2d_check layer, all SX cells connected to the same 1D node are grouped together as one object, and the Lowest_ZC_2D value is the lowest 2D cell ZC value of all the cells connected to the 1D node. For the _1d_to_2d_check_R layer, it’s not possible to group the cells as one object, each cell is separate, when clicking on the SX cells, note that the value is still the lowest ZC of all 2D cells, not of the individual cell. For 2D HX links, the value is the ZC value of the individual cell.
