This Wiki page outlines manual steps for the conversion of an XPSWMM model to TUFLOW. A more efficient, semi-automated approach is available using XPSWMM XPX files. It is recommended instead of this less workflow efficient method. For information on the semi-automated approach, see <u>[[XPSWMM_to_TUFLOW-SWMM | XPSWMM to TUFLOW SWMM: Automated (Recommended) Approach]]</u>. <br>
XPSWMM is a flood and urban stormwater drainage modeling software developed by Autodesk (previously Innovyze and XP Solutions). The XPSWMM solution uses EPA SWMM for its 1D calculations, dynamically linked to TUFLOW for its 2D calculations. The software functions within a custom build Graphical User Interface (GUI). Unknown to many XPSWMM modelers, during simulation, XPSWMM processes its inputs into TUFLOW files and also calls TUFLOW for the 2D calculations. As XPSWMM uses TUFLOW for its 2D engine, like-for-like results can be achieved using this software. The modeling workflow in TUFLOW differs from XPSWMM, as TUFLOW modeling is integrated with QGIS (Geographical Information System) GIS software instead of embedded within a software specific Graphical User Interface.
If you are building a TUFLOW SWMM model from scratch, not from XPSWMM, please refer to the <u>[[TUFLOW_SWMM_Tutorial_Introduction | TUFLOW SWMM Tutorials]]</u>. Tutorials are provided for the following topics:
