If you find any incorrect, misleading or offence material posted please contact [mailto:support@tuflow.com support@tuflow.com]. <br> <br> The TUFLOW Wiki is designed to be used in conjunction with the [https://www.tuflow.com/forum/index.php?act=idx\| TUFLOW Forum], the [https://tuflow.com/Default.aspx\| TUFLOW website], and the [https://tuflow.com/Tuflow%20Documentation.aspx\| TUFLOW Manual].<br> ==What is TUFLOW?== Line 21: '''TUFLOW GPU''' is our new 2D fixed grid software package. The software uses a computers graphic card for its computations, instead of the computer’s processing unit (CPU). This change has significant run time benefits, resulting in between 10 to 100 times reductions in simulation time compared to TUFLOW Classic. The runtime benefits of this software are however extremely powerful for broad-scale regional assessments which may have otherwise been too computationally intensive to model using a CPU type model.<br> <br> '''TUFLOW FV''' is our new 2D/3D flexible mesh, finite volume numerical model that simulates hydrodynamic, sediment transport and water quality processes in oceans, coastal waters, estuaries, rivers and floodplains. The flexible mesh model structure allows users to modify mesh resolution spatially, seamlessly increasing the model resolution in areas of interest. This modelling approach reduces the number of computation cells in a model and hence reduces simulation times. Additionally, TUFLOW FV has been parallelised. This means users can fully capitalise on the computing power of multiple processor/thread computers. TUFLOW FV has its own [https://fvwiki.tuflow.com/index.php?title=Main_Page\| Wiki site], [https://tuflow.com/fvforum/\| Forum], and [https://tuflow.com/FV%20Documentation.aspx\| Manual].<br> <br> For more information on the TUFLOW range of products including additional modules and modelling interfaces please visit the [~~http~~https://www.tuflow.com/~~Products.aspx\|~~products/ TUFLOW Products page] on the TUFLOW website. ==TUFLOW Licensing== Line 30: ===BMT WBM Licenses=== A comprehensive price list of all TUFLOW products is available on the [https://tuflow.com/Prices.aspx\| TUFLOW website]. Please email [mailto:sales@tuflow.com sales@tuflow.com] for any sales enquiries or to receive a formal quotation.<br> <br> Instructions for installing TUFLOW dongles are provided on the <u>[[ TUFLOW_Licensing \| TUFLOW Licensing]]</u> page of the Wiki. Line 37: ===Tutorial Model=== The <u>[[Tutorial_Introduction\|TUFLOW Tutorial Model]]</u> has been created for new users to provide them with the basic skills needed to develop a model and view the results. Each module of the tutorial demonstrates several commonly encountered real-life project examples. All the background model data is provided along with step-by-step instructions that take you through the process of setting up and running TUFLOW, troubleshooting and checking your model, and viewing and analysing results. The tutorials have been set up to support a number of different GIS software packages, text editors and results viewers to suit the user’s preference. The tutorial model is able to be simulated without a TUFLOW license. The files required to simulate the Tutorial model are available from the [https://tuflow.com/Tuflow%20Tutorial%20Models.aspx\| Downloads] page of the TUFLOW website. Full documentation is provided on the <u>[[Tutorial_Introduction\|TUFLOW Tutorial Model]]</u> Wiki page. ===Training by BMT WBM=== BMT WBM are able to provide a range of training services including generalised or bespoke training, as well as carrying out model reviews. We have staff located across Australia, in the UK and the USA. Please refer to the [https://www.tuflow.com/Training.aspx\| Training page] on the TUFLOW website or email [mailto:training@tuflow.com training@tuflow.com] to discuss your specific requirements and to obtain a quotation. ==TUFLOW Support== Line 51: Users are also strongly advised to refer to the <u>[[TUFLOW_Message_How_To\|TUFLOW Message Database]]</u> which provides guidance on the likely causes and suggested solutions for each message. ===TUFLOW Forum=== The [https://www.tuflow.com/forum/index.php?act=idx\| TUFLOW Forum] contains a range of topics sourced from Support queries and offers the opportunity for modellers to learn from the experience of others in the TUFLOW User community. Users are able to post their own questions and replies.
