Introduction

The native non-Graphical User Interface (GUI) form of TUFLOW uses Geographic Information System (GIS) files for its spatial inputs. TUFLOW requires specific GIS file formats associated with specific TUFLOW commands. For example, the 1d_zsh_empty file associated with the Read GIS Z Shape == command requires the following data fields:
TUFLOW Empty File ZShape Format.PNG

Because of the file format requirement, the first task in any modelling project is to write template (empty) GIS files (as demonstrated in Tutorial Module 1). This page of the TUFLOW Wiki provides a reference list of the template (empty) GIS files, the associated TUFLOW command and a basic description of their function.

TUFLOW Control file (*.tcf)

Template (empty) GIS File Compatible TUFLOW Commands File / Command Function
2d_fc_empty Read GIS FC ==
2d_glo_empty Read GIS GLO ==
2d_iwl_empty Read GIS IWL ==
2d_lp_empty Read GIS LP ==
2d_oz_empty Read GIS Output Zone ==
2d_po_empty Read GIS PO ==
0d_rl_empty Read GIS Reporting Location ==
Note: Template shapefiles will also include a suffix describing the object type:

_L = Lines features
_P = Point features
_R = Region features
