TUFLOW Run Interface Manager (TRIM) is a product developed by [httphttps://www.csse.com.au Catchment Simulation Solutions] to help manage your TUFLOW model runs more efficiently. It allows you to manage a large queue of simulations with any designated number of simulations running simultaneously. This ensures the fastest job completion and maximum license utilisation.

Detailed documentation can be found at: [httphttps://www.csse.com.au/trim_online_help httphttps://www.csse.com.au/trim_online_help]

TRIM is free for a one simultaneous simulation version. For more information on commercial license options, please vist [httphttps://www.csse.com.au/trim this page].

TRIM can automatically stop your simulation once it has safely passed the peak. This can save loads of time. For more information refer [httphttps://www.csse.com.au/trim_online_help/index.php?trim_autostop.htmhtml here]. Note, if your modelling PC is unattended, you may need to apply the fix at the bottom of the [httphttps://www.csse.com.au/trim_online_help/index.php?trim_autostop.htmhtml page] to get Auto Stop to work properly.

Fiddling around with batch files to post process your simulations is virtually a thing of the past with TRIM's automation of post processing. TRIM can automatically group your simulations (based on common ARIs), run dat_t_dat to extract peak results and run TUFLOW_to_GIS to convert to common formats. It can also automatically create other formats such as TAB / SHP / TIF and others. Detailed documentation can be found [httphttps://www.csse.com.au/trim_online_help/index.php?automation_of_post_processing.htmhtml here] but there are a couple tricks to using this tool.

The power of automated post processing is at its best when used with Events and Scenarios models. These can be configured using the [httphttps://www.csse.com.au/trim_online_help/index.php?events_and_scenarios.htmhtml Events and Scenarios GUI]. The table icon button allows you to automatically add all combinations of ARIs and durations and automatically group them into suitable groupings for dat_to_dat processing. There are options available via right click to duplicate entire groups with a different scenario further streamlining your modelling.
