|-
| [[Check_Files_2d_DEM_M | _DEM_M.flt<br>_DEM_M.asc]]|| A DEM of the final material ID values, similar to the DEM_Z check grid described below. The .tcf command Grid Format can be used output this check file in ASCII format rather than the default FLT format.
|-
| [[Check_Files_2d_DEM_Z | _DEM_Z.flt<br>_DEM_Z.asc]]|| A DEM of the final ground/bathymetry elevations, including those from any 1D WLL mesh. The file is given a DEM_Z extension, and can be readily opened by most GIS and other GUIs. The default size of the grid cells is half the smallest 2D cell size. This can be changed using the <font color="blue"><tt>Grid Output Cell Size </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font> command. To exclude writing this file, include “DEM_Z” in the Write Check Files EXCLUDE list. The <font color="blue"><tt>Grid Format </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font> command can be used to control the format of the file. <br>
The DEM_M and DEM_Z check grids are written if the model start up is forced to only process the .tgc file. To do this, don’t specify or comment out, the BC Control File command.
