:*100,000 total cells and 30,000 active (potentially flooded) cells
:*100 1D channels

<li> Over 60 example models demonstrating the most commonly used TUFLOW features are available from the <u>[[Example_Models_Home_page | Example Models]]</u> section of the Wiki. These models call the Demo mode mentioned above, and as such don't require a licence to run. Use these models to learn how to implement features not included in the TUFLOW Tutorials. Refer to the <u>[https://www.tuflow.com/Tuflow%20Documentation.aspx TUFLOW Manual]</u> for further supporting information.
<li> Other useful information is contained in the Wiki. In particular new users often find the <u>[[Main_Page | Tips and Tricks]]</u> section on the right-hand side of the home page and the <u>[[TUFLOW_Modelling_Guidance | Modelling Guidance]]</u> sections particularly useful.
