<li> Save the bc_dbase.

A TUFLOW CATCH simulation is set up and executed by constructing a TUFLOW CATCH Control file (.tcc). TUFLOW Control file (.tcf) and TUFLOW FV Control file (.fvc) are not used. The .tcc has four command blocks:

<ol>

<li> Catchment Hydraulic Model (TUFLOW HPC) commands

<li> Catchment Pollutant Export Model

=Reviewing Model Performance=

There are a number of useful outputs from TUFLOW CATCH for reviewing the model performance.

 

Navigate to the '''Modelling\TUFLOWCATCH\runs\log''' folder and open the '''TC01_001.catchlog''' file in a text editor. It contains a summary of the TUFLOW CATCH simulation. The following are the key points to review: <br>

* '''Global Settings:''' The commands from the 'Global Settings' section of the .tcc are echoed here. Review these to confirm that the correct settings have been applied.<br>

* '''Simulation Configuration:''' The .catchlog outlines which models have been used and what simulation configuration has been run. In this tutorial, the catchment hydraulic and pollutant export models have been applied, indicating a pollutant export configuration. <br>

:[[File: TC1_catchlog_02a.png]]<br>

* '''Run Status:''' At the end of the file, a message will confirm the simulation outcome.

:* If successful, it will state 'Run Successful'<br>

:* If an issue occurred, the simulation will stop and an error message will be reported. An example error is shown in the image below.

::'''Note:''' Each TUFLOW CATCH error message has a corresponding wiki page that provides further details about the error, and suggestions for how to fix the issue. Refer to <u>[[5xxx_TUFLOW_Messages | 5xxx Messages]]</u> for a list of all TUFLOW CATCH related error messages.<br>

 

===Other Log Files===

* Check files were used to review the transfer from the Catchment Hydraulic model (TUFLOW HPC) into the receiving polygon.

* TUFLOW CATCH time series results and TUFLOW map outputs were assessed to observe the pollutant behaviours.
