There are 3 options for loading in results:

1. Load Results --> This is done via a TCF or FVC file and will load in all results (Map Outputs and Time Series)
2. Load Results - Map Outputs --> Select map output mesh results file (*.xmdf, *.dat, *.2dm, *.xmdf.sup, *.dat.sup)
3. Load Results - Time Series --> Select time series output results (*.tpc)

Changing Result Type

As simple as selecting a different result type in Result Type panel. You can only display one Scalar results and one Vector result at any given time.

Saving Default Style

Saving a default style for a result type will mean that every time a result type of that name e.g 'Depth' is loaded, TUFLOW Viewer will automatically apply that style.

There are 2 options:

1. Save Colour Ramp --> This will save the particular colour ramp as default. This means the actual min / max values will be adjusted based on the results. This is useful for results such as Bed Elevation or Water Level where the ranges are usually different depending on the model's location
2. Save Colour Map --> This will save the exact values and associated colours used in the styling. This might be useful for results such as Depth or Velocity where a template can be applicable across different models

Right Click the result type >> Save Style As Default >> Colour Ramp

Cross Section

You can plot one or multiple map output results as a cross section for the current time step.

1. Choose which map outputs to plot --> click on the cross-section graph down arrow under Map Output Plotting >> Check on desired result types
2. Click off the menu
3. Click the cross-section graph again (not the down arrow)
4. Left click somewhere on your results to start the cross-section
5. Left click to add vertices to your cross-section polyline
6. Right click to finish

Plotting Flow

You can post calculate flow from the map output results. Note that this approach should be used for approximation only. The preferred method is to use a PO line in TUFLOW.

1. Click on the Plot Flux button down arrow under Map Output Plotting
2. Left click somewhere on your results to start the flux line
3. Left click to add vertices to your flux line
4. Right click to finish
