=Introduction=
The objective of thisthe Flood Modeller –- TUFLOW modelmodules is to demonstrate the ability ofhow TUFLOW to linklinks to anthe external Flood Modeller 1D scheme and the various methods available in which to create this link. ItThey isare designed to supplement existing documentation and assumes the user has someassume prior knowledge of both the Flood Modeller and TUFLOW software packages.

=Requirements and Downloads=
Both TUFLOW and Flood Modeller have relatively modest system requirements for small models such as thethose tutorialused modelin these modules. However, largerLarger and more complex models, however, may haverequire higher hardware requirements - inspecifications, particularparticularly memory (RAM). Both software are available in 32 and 64 bit versions. The tutorial modelmodels isare designed to beintentionally small, to allow forensure quick simulation and load times., The tutorial modeland should run on any modern PC or laptop that is capable of running Windows 710 or later.
 
TUFLOW models typically require access to a GIS package, a text editor, Microsoft Excel and a results viewer to build, review and visualise a model.

| '''TUFLOW''' || TUFLOW is a computer program for simulating depth-averaged, one and two-dimensional free-surface flows such as occurs from floods and tides, with the 2D solution occurring over a regular grid of square elements.<br>
 
It is commonly used in the UK and Ireland, Australia and the United States for the modelling of surface waters, river systems and pipe networks. <br>

|'''Flood Modeller'''|| Flood Modeller (previously known as ISIS) is a commercial flood modelling package developed by Jacobs for simulating depth-averaged one and two dimensional free surface flows. It is primarily used for the simulation of river channels and is widely used within the UK and Ireland. This tutorial model will only leverage Flood Modeller’s 1D Solver. <br>
TUFLOW 1D and 2D domains can be dynamically linked to the 1D domain of Flood Modeller Pro. Flood Modeller is not included within the TUFLOW executable and must be downloaded separately. <br>
 
Unlike TUFLOW Flood Modeller has a standalone Graphical User Interface which can be used to build networks, run models, and visualise results.
 
It is recommended that TUFLOW 20202023-1003-ADAA or later is used in conjunction with Flood Modeller Version 5 or later. [https://docs.tuflow.com/classic-hpc/manual/2025.2/OneD2DLinkingFM-2.html#fig:fig-FMTUFLOWVersionCompatability Figure 10.15] of the [https://docs.tuflow.com/classic-hpc/manual/2025.2/ 2025 TUFLOW manual] provides a list of compatibility between recent Flood Modeller and TUFLOW versions. <br>
 
For Flood Modeller Version 5 or later a Standard, Professional, or Unlimited Edition of Flood Modeller Pro is required to open and run the tutorial model.

The aim of this tutorial is to demonstrate the steps undertaken to build, review and visualise the results of a linked Flood Modeller – TUFLOW model. It assumes that the user has a good understanding of both the 1D component of Flood Modeller and the 1D and 2D components of TUFLOW. The following resources may be of use:
