The steps below describe the process for setting up a new TUFLOW 2D/1D model. These steps should be followed in conjunction with elementary TUFLOW training and as a reminder for later use. They cover the basic elements of setting up a TUFLOW 2D/1D model, with further training and tuition required to use more advanced features.
The steps below assume a sufficient level of GIS skills and use of a text editor. Training in these areas is provided as part of the TUFLOW training. GIS base layers such as a DTM and aerial photos are beneficial to act as a backdrop to the GIS work environment. 3D surface modelling software operating within the GIS is also needed (eg. Vertical Mapper operating within MapInfo).
