* Flexibility, if the cell size, dimension or rotation of the TUFLOW model is changed, TUFLOW will update the elevations automatically.

 

 

<u>'''ArcGIS, Mapinfo, and QGIS Users'''</u><br>

The process of using a direct TIN or DEM read into TUFLOW is outlined below. It is recommended that you have the DEM open in your GIS package, if you do not have it open it can be found in the '''Module_Data\DEMs\''' folder under your GIS package name. Please select <u>one</u> of the following approaches, for users without 12D or SMS the DEM method is recommended.

Surface roughness or bed resistance values (eg. Manning’s n) are assigned to Materials values. The '''Module_Data\Module_01\''' folder already contains the materials table that we’ll use. We will review these in a GIS package, please select one of:

 

 

In order for TUFLOW to associate the Manning’s n to the Material ID, a TUFLOW Materials File is required. This is can be either a text file (.tmf) or an .csv file which can be edited in Excel. In this tutorial model we will utilise the second (.csv) option.

If your simulation has been successful, the console window should look like the image below.<br><br>

With the <font color="blue"><tt>Write Check Files </tt></font> command specified in the TCF, TUFLOW will write a series of check files prior to the simulation starting. The check files are useful for reviewing the inputs have been correctly specified. This is particularly the case of long simulations, for example if you have a large model that runs for 12 hours and you are running a model with additional breakline (see Module 3), it is good to check that these features are correctly represented. This can be done using the check files whilst the 12 hour simulation is running, rather than waiting until the simulation finishes! We will introduce the check files as we progress with the tutorial modules.

In the first module we will use the _zpt_check file, which contains all the final Zpt elevations, for the active model area. Please select your GIS package.

 

For information on other TUFLOW check files please refer to the <u>[[TUFLOW_Check_Files|Check Files]]</u> page of the TUFLOW Wiki.
