Tuflow and estry manual Version 3

2.3Performing Simulations

TUFLOW or ESTRY simulations are started by:

• 
  using Microsoft Explorer (a file association between .tcf files and TUFLOW.exe or a .ecf file and ESTRY.exe is required – see Section 4.3);
  
• 
  directly from UltraEdit (see Section 4.4);
  
• 
  running a batch file (see Section 4.5); or
  
• 
  from a DOS Command Window (see Section 4.6).
  

2.4Data Output

TUFLOW produces a range of output as presented below (see Section 6). In addition, several post-processing programs are used for transferring data to GIS and other software.

Output is structured into two categories:

• 
  Check Files for checking and quality control of models.
  
• 
  Result Files containing the 1D and 2D results.
