Another good check is to import the messages layer, and view the TUFLOW log file (.tlf) for any checks or warnings. It is often useful to search the .tlf for an input file name, for example, if breakline changes are not seen, search the .tlf to ensure the input file e.g. "2d_zsh_M03_thalweg" is being read in.

Description

When running TUFLOW with a batch file and setting the TUFLOW executable path or other commands as variable, the command prompt produces an error message and no simulations are executed (as shown below).

Suggestions

Check the path to the TUFLOW executable have been entered correctly. If it has, the error is most likely caused by using a " "(space) before and/or after the "=" in the batch file after the set variable command
For example (incorrect format): 

set TUFLOWEXE = C:\TUFLOW\Releases\2017-09-AC\w64\TUFLOW_iSP_w64.exe

To solve this issue, please remove the " "(space) next to the "=".
For example (correct format): 

set TUFLOWEXE=C:\TUFLOW\Releases\2017-09-AC\w64\TUFLOW_iSP_w64.exe
