A simulation includes the domain, boundary conditions, model parameters, event definition, and material set used for a single TUFLOW run. Multiple simulations can exist within the same project in order to compare alternatives such as before/after a levee or to look at multiple events such as 10 year, 20 year, and 50 year.
Working with Simulations
A Simulation can be created by right-clicking on a blank portion of the project explorer and choosing "New → TUFLOW Simulation." Once a simulation exists future simulations are often similar to one already created. Often it is easier to make a copy of the simulation and make changes where appropriate. A simulation can be copied by right-clicking on the simulation and choosing "Duplicate."
The right-click menu for a simulation includes commands to change model parameters or 1D model parameters as well as launching TUFLOW to run the simulation.
Simulation Components
Much of the data for a simulation is contained in Geometry components and TUFLOW coverages. These items are included in a TUFLOW simulation using project explorer links. The model parameters are stored with the simulation item and can be accessed from the simulation's right-click menu.
