In thisFMA challengeChallenge 1, a fully two-dimensional model with a nested one dimensional model has been developed to explore in and over-bank floodplain conditions. The model includes several hydraulic structures/bridges within the main stream system which impact flood elevations. Flooding of the urbanised over-bank floodplain is experinced. For interest, the requirements of the FMA challenge are provided [httphttps://www.tuflow.com/Download/TUFLOW/Demo_Models/2012_FMA_Challenge/All/FMA%20Challenge%201%20Documention.TUFLOW.pdf here]<br><br>▼

=Model Setup=
This section provides an overview and discussion of the model domain setup.<br> All files required to re-run the model can be found at '''FMA_Challenge_Models/FMA_Scenario1/'''. It is at your discretion which GIS package, text editor and method of model simulation to use (batch mode or within the text editor).
All files required to setup and run the models are available within the download package. You have the choice of running with shape file or mif for usage in ArcGIS/QGIS or Mapinfo respectively.
 
==Computational Domain Assembly==
TUFLOW directly reads GIS data layers to construct models. The layers used/created for Challenge 1 are:
<ol>
<li>A DEM TIN created from the provided terrain data (2ft contours) and exported to ESRI ASCII format as a 2ft DEM grid. When TUFLOW reads this DEM it interpolates the elevations onto the 2D computation grid.</li>

==Use of Scenarios to Modify 2d2D Grid Resolution==
To test the effect of different resolutions, simulations were made using grid resolutions of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 40 ft (Noted that only the 10 and 15ft are presented in this example).
 
To run the model with varying cell sizes from a single TCF, the use of scenarios waswere implemented with either '10ft' or '15ft' entered in the batch file using the -s commandswitch. Importantly, if the -s switch is not used, the model will assume a default model scenario of 10ft as specified by the line <font color="blue"><tt>Model Scenario </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font> <tt> 10ft </tt> within the TCF.
 
Within this example, the 2D timestep and log output frequency are variables dependent on the 2D Cell Size scenario. The variables are specified through an external read file (.trftrd). The .tfrtrd file is called from the TCF: <font color="blue"><tt>Read File </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font> <tt> FMA_T1_CellSize_Commands_001.trd </tt><br>
 
When the model is initialised, the scenario determines the 2D_CELL_SIZE, 2D_Timestep and LogInt variables. The variables are set using the 'Set Variable' command in the trftrd.
Each variable is then placed in the TCF and TGC using the << >> syntax. For example for the 10ft scenario:
