QGIS Result Viewing

  1. Open TUFLOW Viewer from the TUFLOW Plugin toolbar.

  2. Open the simulation results. There are two options available:
    • Open 1D and 2D results: Select File > 'Load Results'. Navigate to the TUFLOW\runs folder and select TS01_5m_001.tcf.
    • Open 1D (no 2D results): Select File > 'Load Results - Time Series'. Navigate to the TUFLOW\results folder and select TS01_5m_001_swmm_ts.gpkg.
  3. The video example below opens the 1D and 2D results, using the first of the above options. When asked "Do you want to open result GIS layer?", select Yes. Five new files will load to the Layers Panel:
    • TS01_5m_001_swmm_ts_P: 1D SWMM Node and outlet water level results
    • TS01_5m_001_swmm_ts_L: 1D SWMM conduit flow results
    • TS01_5m_001_PLOT_P: 1D ESTRY and 2D plot output water level and velocity results (Note: There are no ESTRY results from this simulation)
    • TS01_5m_001_PLOT_L: 1D ESTRY and 2D plot output flow results (Note: There are no ESTRY results from this simulation)
    • TS01_5m_001: 2D TUFLOW Results


  4. Set the simulation result plot objects:
    • In the QGIS Layers Panel, select (left click) TS01_5m_001 to establish it as the active dataset, then choose Depth as the Result Type in the 'TUFLOW Viewer Map Outputs' list.
    • In the QGIS Layers Panel, select (left click) TS01_5m_001_swmm_ts_L, then select Flow as the Result Type in the 'TUFLOW Viewer Time Series' list.
    • Tick on 'Show Current Time'.
  5. Move the time slider to observe how the results vary at different times during the simulation.



SWMM.rpt Output

The SWMM simulation report can be opened using a text editor to review the 1D SWMM model result summary and simulation health.

  1. Open TUFLOW\results\TS01_5m_001_swmm.rpt in Notepad++
  2. Review the result summary for information such as:
    • Continuity Error (%) .....: the target value for this metric is less than +-1%
    • Various Node Result Summary Reports
    • Various Link / Conduit Result Summary Reports
