The TUFLOW folders can be set up manually, automatically running TUFLOW model with <font color="blue"><tt> Create Empty GIS Files </tt></font> command or automatically through GIS programs:

:*SMS - the folder structure listed above is automatically created before running the model using the 'Export TUFLOW files' command (see <u> [[Run TUFLOW from within SMS | Run TUFLOW from within SMS]])</u>.

:*ArcMap (10.1 and newer) - the ArcTUFLOW Toolbox can be used to automatically create the model folders, model projection, TUFLOW control files and run TUFLOW to create the template files.

= 2D Time Series Plot Output =

The 2D plot output (2d_po) objects allow for a wide range of hydraulic parameters to be output from the 2D domain as time-series data at pre-defined locations. <br>

While the model is running, review the added features are specified correctly: <br>

:*XMDF - Mesh based output format containing all map output data types in a single file.

When the model is finished, review the results: <br>
