Line 1: =Introduction= This page contains information about the .ts1 file format used by TUFLOW for inputting boundary data. The <u>[[Convert_to_TS1 \| ~~Convert_to_st1~~Convert to TS1 Utility]]</u> can be used to convert a number of hydrologic model outputs to the .ts1 format. However, the format is relatively simple variant of a .csv file. It contains more information on the size and number of time-series and this makes it much faster to read into a TUFLOW model, particularly if there are a large number of input time-series. It could be readily scripted using a variety of tools such as Excel, Python or Matlab. =File Format= Line 1 !comment line<br> Line 10 ⟶ 11: Each data line is of the following format:<br> Time (in minutes). n time-series x data An example is below, it contains three time-series, with a maximum of 10 output times. The last time-seriesonly contains five data points, all start at the first timestep, although this is not necessary.<br>▼ ===Character Restrictions=== The TS1 file has the following character restrictions: <ul> <li> Total line length cannot exceed 100,000 characters <li> Boundary names cannot exceed 100 characters <li> Boundary names are comma delimited. Spaces, dashes, underscores (and most characters) are allowed <li> Boundary names should not contain commas e.g. putting a name inside quotes won’t stop any commas inside the quotes from being treated as a delimiter <li> Quotation marks are not stripped from boundary names <li> Tab characters are stripped from anywhere in the boundary name e.g. <tt>“example\tinflow”</tt> would become <tt>“exampleinflow”</tt> </ul> ===Example=== ▲An example is below, it contains three time-series, with a maximum of 10 output times. The last time-~~seriesonly~~series only contains five data points, all start at the first timestep, although this is not necessary.<br> '''Note: The time in the 1st column should be in minutes'''. Please check the _bc_tables_check.csv files to ensure that the file has been read in correctly.<br> In the example above the data has been written with a fixed column width for readability, however, this is not necessary in the .ts1 file.<br>
