<li> Start TUFLOW from a batch file using the TCF file we have created ('''M01_5m_001.tcf'''). Follow the steps outlined in, <u>[[Run TUFLOW From a Batch-file | Running TUFLOW from a Batch-file]]</u> to create the batch file.
<li> Double click the created batch file (.bat) from Windows Explorer to execute the simulation. A console (DOS) window should appear as shown below:<br>

=== TUFLOW Log file ===
The first place to look is at the final output in the DOSconsole window. If you missed this, for example if the model was run in batch mode this information is contained in the TUFLOW Log File (.tlf). Earlier on we add the following command to the TCF:<br>
<font color="blue"><tt>Log Folder </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font> <tt>Log</tt><br>

=== TUFLOW Messages Layers ===
TUFLOW writes a number of messages, in increasing order of severity these are: Check --> Warning --> Error. Each of the messages generated by TUFLOW has a four digit ID code. A description of each of these messages is given in the message database section of this wiki: <u>[[TUFLOW_Message_How_ToTUFLOW_Messages | (TUFLOW Messages Database)]]</u>.
When a numerical model such as TUFLOW struggles to converge to a solution, spurious results such as negative depths can be generated. When this occurs TUFLOW creates a warning and writes this to the _messages.csv file and also to a GIS file. This can be opened in excel, or your GIS package.

==Troubleshooting==
This section contains links to some common issues that may occur when progressing through the first module of the TUFLOW tutorial model. If you experience an issue that is not detailed on here please either send an email to [mailto:support@tuflow.com support@tuflow.com].<br>

== Advanced - HPC Solver (Optional) ==
This section will introduce how to run the model TUFLOW’s HPC (Heavily Parallelised Compute) solver, and how to fix some common issues that may occur when trying to run a simulation using Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) hardware. Please see [[HPC_Features_Archive | HPC Features Archive]] for more information on TUFLOW HPC features supported in the 2017 release.
 
TUFLOW HPC can run between 10 and 100 times faster than TUFLOW Classic using NVidia Graphics Processing Units (GPU)(depending on the model configuration and hardware performance). <br><br>

===Results===
Using the methods described above in the <u>[[Tutorial_Module01_Archive#Viewing_Results | Viewing Results]]</u> section.
* Check the simulation logs in the DOSconsole window, .tlf and .hpc.tlf log files.
* View the results in your preferred package.
Do the logs and results appear different? Did the simulation run faster using the GPU hardware? For more information about computer hardware and simulation speed, please refer to the <u>[[Hardware_Benchmarking | Hardware Benchmarking Page]]</u>.
