TUFLOW File References

  • TUFLOW is always uppercase (i.e. TUFLOW, not tuflow)
  • TUFLOW GIS input and simulation file names should be bold: model\gis\2d_code_M01_001.mif and M01_5m_002.tcf
  • Define acronyms before using them in each page: TUFLOW Geometry Control File (TGC), TUFLOW Boundary Control File (TBC).
Note: This also applies to section headings.
  • Control file acronyms are upper case: TCF, TGC, TBC
  • Use colour formats for syntax text:
! Comment bla bla
Command == <something>

User Advice (Comments)

Advice is written in italics.

Note: Running a multiple domain model without a valid multiple domain licence (i.e. in Tutorial Mode) can only be achieved using TUFLOW Build 2016-03-AD or newer.
Tip 1: Bla bla bla.

Language

Use succinct language for action steps: For example:

  • Firstly, lets begin by opening M01_5m_002.tgc in your preferred text editor. Please save the file as M09_2D2D_5m_001.tgc.

becomes.

  • Open M01_5m_002.tgc in your text editor. Save the file as M09_2D2D_5m_001.tgc

More verbose language can be used for discussion paragraphs.

Section Headings

  • Every word within a section heading MUST start with a capital letter.
  • Make the section headings as succinct as possible.
  • Do NOT use acronyms as a Section Heading (For example, use "TUFLOW Geometry Control File (TGC)" instead of "TCG")

Section Links

  • Link to succinct Section Headings (i.e. not including words preceding the target link).
(For example, "As discussed in Module 1" is incorrect and should be amended to "As discussed in Module 1")
