    Introduction

    In this section we will define the bank elevations of the watercourse. These are the elevations of the 1D/2D boundary cells that link the 1D Flood Modeller watercourse to the 2D TUFLOW floodplain.
    Note that it is these cell elevations that determine whether water spills from the 1D Flood Modeller domain into the 2D TUFLOW domain. The bank elevations of the Flood Modeller 1D cross-sections do not control the spill.

    Method

  1. Import in an empty 2d_bc_empty_p.shp layer from within the TUFLOW\model\gis\empty folder and save as 2d_bc_hxi_FMT_001_P.shp.
  2. Open the 1D_2D_Points_P.shp GIS layer from Module_Data\Module_01\gis folder. Select all objects from within this layer, copy and paste into 2d_bc_hxi_FMT_001_P.shp.
  3. Interrogate one of the digitised points and inspect the attributes. The ‘type’ attribute is ‘ZP’ to denote that it is a z-point which will define the elevation on the banks. The ‘f’ attribute is the elevation of the bank link in mAOD.
  4. Save the file.
