=Check File Types=
 +
The check files are separated into 2D and 1D check files.  The output location for these is controlled by commands in the .tcf and .ecf as described above.  Not all check file types will be output for all models, if a model has no 2D Z Shape (2d_zsh) format topography modifiers then the _zsh_zpt check file type will not be output by TUFLOW.  A list of the check file types is provided below.  For more information on each of these please click on the page link.<br>
 +
It is also worth noting that the attributes of the check file may also change depending on the features in the model.  If a model has soils specified (for infiltration) then the _grd_check file will contain the soil type for each grid cell.  If no soils are specified this attribute is not output.<br>

Introduction

If the Write Check Files == command is included in the .tcf (2D check files) and/or .ecf (1D check files) will be output from TUFLOW. These are a series of output files in both GIS (MapInfo or Shapefile format) and tabular data in .csv format. These check files contain information on the data processed by TUFLOW, for example the _zpt_check file contains the final elevation at each zpt in the model.

Managing Check Files

The 2D and 1D check files can be controlled separately by having the Write Check Files == in both the .tcf and .ecf files. However, Write Check Files == in the .tcf file will automatically also write the 1D check files. There is no need to specify Write Check Files == in the .ecf file unless a different folder path for the files is desired.
The check files for big models can get very large and consume quite a lot of hard drive space. It is possible to exclude or include certain check file types. This is done by specifying either "Include" or "Exclude" to the left of the equals sign:
Write Check Files Exclude == <file list>
Write Check Files Include == <file list>
The file list is a space separated list of files. To exclude the large grd, uvpt and zpt files specify:
Write Check Files Exclude == zpt uvpt grd
To output only the gridded elevations (DEM_Z) the command would be :
Write Check Files Include == DEM_Z

Tips for Visualising Check Files

Depending on the size of the model, the check files may contain a large amount of data, for example the _grd_check file may contain thousands or millions of cells. As a modeller you probably won't inspect each cell to ensure that the data is value, however you may want to view this for the entire model. Thematic mapping or styling the input layers can be used in your GIS software to do this. Some tips are given below for a range of GIS platforms, however, the functionality is likely to be available in almost all GIS platforms:

Check File Types

The check files are separated into 2D and 1D check files. The output location for these is controlled by commands in the .tcf and .ecf as described above. Not all check file types will be output for all models, if a model has no 2D Z Shape (2d_zsh) format topography modifiers then the _zsh_zpt check file type will not be output by TUFLOW. A list of the check file types is provided below. For more information on each of these please click on the page link.
It is also worth noting that the attributes of the check file may also change depending on the features in the model. If a model has soils specified (for infiltration) then the _grd_check file will contain the soil type for each grid cell. If no soils are specified this attribute is not output.

2D Check Files

The table below contains a complete list of the 2D check files. Note that for linked 2D/1D or 2D/2D models these check files are outlined in the sections below.

Filename prefix / suffix Brief Description
_2d_bc_tables_check.csv Tabular data as read from the boundary condition database via any 2d_bc layers and after any adjustments (eg. time shift). Provides traceability to original data source. Note: the boundary values do not include the effects of any 2d_bc attributes such as f.
_bcc_check.mif
_bcc_check_R.shp
GIS files providing trace back information and uses cells, rather than point/line objects to show 2D BCs.
_DEM_M.flt
_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.
_DEM_Z.flt
_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 Grid Output Cell Size == command. To exclude writing this file, include “DEM_Z” in the Write Check Files EXCLUDE list. The Grid Format == command can be used to control the format of the file.

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.

_dom_check.mif
_dom_check_R.shp
Contains a rectangle for each 2D domain showing the location, orientation and size of the domain. Within this domain, cells can be turned on or off, outside this domain no 2D calculations can be performed.
_fc_check.mif
_fc_check_R.shp
GIS layer of the final arrangement of flow constrictions (FC). The flow constrictions are written as individual square cells of the same shape as the grid cells, even if the FC was specified using points or lines/polylines.
_fcsh_uvpt_check.mif
_fcsh_uvpt_check_P.shp
Contains information on adjustments to the ZU/ZV cell sides as modified by Read GIS FC Shape == commands.
_glo_check.mif
_glo_check_P.shp
GIS layer of any gauge level output (GLO) locations.
_grd_check.mif
_grd_check_R.shp
GIS layer of the final 2D grid. Represents the final grid including modifications from the .tgc file, boundary specifications and flow constrictions. Note that the Material and bed resistance (eg. Mannings_n) attributes do not include any modifications due to flow constrictions as these are applied directly to the cell mid-sides (rather than the cell centre). To view these use the _uvpt_check.mif/.shp file.

Can also be written at different stages within a .tgc file (see Write GIS Grid == command). The file contains all modifications to the 2D grid at the point in the .tgc file that it is written.
Note that a number of additional attributes are appended to the_grd_check layer when some features of TUFLOW have been used.

_input_layers.mif GIS layer contain full filepaths to all input layers used to compile the model.
_lfcsh_uvpt_check.mif
_lfcsh_uvpt_check_P.shp
Contains information on adjustments to the ZU/ZV cell sides as modified by Read GIS Layered FC Shape == commands.
_lp_check.mif
_lp_check_L.shp
GIS layer of any 2D longitudinal profile(s).
_po_check.mif
_PO_check_P.shp
_PO_check_L.shp
GIS layer of any 2D plot output location(s). The layer shows points and lines occurring from the cell centres, rather than their exact locations in the original file(s). For the shapefile the points and lines are output in separate files, see also FAQ Shapefiles.
_sac_check.mif
_sac_check_R.shp
GIS layer of the lowest cell selected for Read GIS SA inputs, and cells selected if using Read GIS SA PITS .
_sh_obj_check.mif
_sh_obj_check_R.shp
Contains objects such as buffer polygons used for wide lines, triangles generated for TINs within polygons, and regions and polylines for thick and thin lines to illustrate areas that have been modified by Create TIN Zpts (if the WRITE TIN option is specified), Read GIS Z Shape, Read GIS Variable Z Shape, Read GIS FC Shape and Read GIS Layered FC Shape commands.
_uvpt_check.mif
_uvpt_check_P.shp
GIS layer containing the initial velocities, roughness value, FLC, WrF, FC lid depth and FC BD factor at the U and V points. For materials that vary Manning’s n with depth, the Manning_n attribute contains the Manning’s n value at the higher depth.
_vzsh_check.mif
_vzsh_check_P.shp
_vzsh_check_L.shp
Contains information on Zpts that have been modified by Read GIS Variable Z Shape == commands.
_zln_zpt_check.mif
_zln_zpt_check_P.shp
GIS layer containing Zpts that have been modified by Read GIS Z Line == commands, the type of Z Line and the Z Line filename. This feature is very useful for checking which Zpts that the Z Lines have modified. Note: It does not include any GULLY lines.

When written in .mif/.mid format, the points are given different symbology according to whether they have been raised or lowered (up or down triangles) or remain unchanged (a cross).

_zpt_check.mif

Contains the inverts of the 1D nodes and at the ends of the 1D channels. Very useful for checking for smooth transitions from one channel to another and with the nodes.
_iwl_check.mif
_iwl_check_P.shp
GIS .mif/.mid or .shp files of the initial water levels at the 1D model nodes.
_mhc_check.mif
_mhc_check_P.shp
GIS layer of manholes including any automatically created manholes.
_nwk_C_check.mif
_nwk_C_check_L.shp
GIS .mif/.mid or .shp files of the final 1D model network. This check layer contains the channels of the 1D domain only. The _nwk_N_check layer contains the nodes.

The layers lines are coloured based on the channel type (available for the .mid/.mif format only).
Any generated pit channels are shown as a small channel flowing from north to south into the pit node. The upstream pit channel node that is generated is also shown. The length of the pit channel is controlled by Pit Channel Offset == command.

_nwk_N_check.mif
_nwk_N_check_P.shp
GIS .mif/.mid or .shp files of the final 1D model network. This check layer contains the nodes of the 1D domain only. The _nwk_C_check layer contains the channels.

The node symbology is displayed as a red circle for nodes connected to two or more channels, a larger magenta circle for nodes connected to one channel and a large yellow square for nodes not connected to a channel (available for the .mid/.mif format only). This is very useful for checking for channel ends or nodes that are not snapped.
The top and bottom elevations of the NA table at nodes is now shown using the Upstream_Invert and Downstream_Invert attributes.

_WLLo_check.mif
_WLLo_check_L.shp
_xWLLo_check.mif
_xWLLo_check_L.shp
GIS layer of all the WLL objects read. The attributes provide information on which nodes that area associated with, etc.

The _WLLo_check layers are written for ESTRY 1D domains, whereas the _xWLLo_check layers are written for external 1D domains, such as Flood Modeller or XP-SWMM.

_WLLp_check.mif
_WLLp_check_P.shp
_xWLLp_check.mif
_xWLLp_check_P.shp
GIS layer of where the points were generated along the WLLs. These points can then be used for Read GIS WLL Points == command.

The _WLLp_check layers are written for ESTRY 1D domains, whereas the _xWLLp_check layers are written for external 1D domains, such as Flood Modeller or XP-SWMM.

_xsl_check.mif
_xsl_check_L.shp
GIS layer containing tabular data as read from 1d_xs input layers. Contains the XS ID and other useful information on the cross-section properties, etc. Refer also to _ta_tables_check.csv.
_x1d_chans_check.mif
_x1d_chans_check_L.shp
GIS layer containing the location of 1D channels from an external 1D domain.
_x1d_nodes_check.mif
_x1d_nodes_check_P.shp
GIS layer containing the location of 1D nodes from an external 1D domain.

2D / 1D Check Files

The following check files will only be produced if a linked 1D / 2D model is created.

Filename prefix / suffix Brief Description
_1d_to_2d_check.mif
_1d_to_2d_check_R.shp
Displays the 2D cells connected to 1D nodes via 2D HX and 2D SX 2d_bc objects. For the .mif/.mid format cells connected to the same node are given the same colour to allow for easy visualisation of whether the right connections have been made. Additional information is supplied through the attributes.

In the .mif layer, all SX cells connected to the same 1D node are grouped together as one object, and the Lowest_ZC_2D value is the lowest 2D cell ZC value of all the cells connected to the 1D node. For the .shp layer, it’s not possible to group the cells as one object, so each cell is separate, and therefore, when clicking on the SX cells, note that the value is still the lowest ZC of all 2D cells, not of the individual cell. For 2D HX links, the value is the ZC value of the individual cell.

2D / 2D Check Files

The following check files will only be produced if a multiple 2D Domain (linked 2D / 2D model) is created.

Filename prefix / suffix Brief Description
_2d_to_2d_check.mif
_2d_to_2d_check_R.shp
Displays the 2D cells used to link two 2D domains together via a 2d_bc type “2D” boundary. Similar to the _1d_to_2d_check layer, the cells connected to the same hidden 1D node are given the same colour when using the .mif/.mid format. Use the command Reveal 1D Nodes == ON command in the .tcf to view the locations of the hidden 1D nodes.
