SMS:TUFLOW Coverages

TUFLOW models use several types of Feature coverages. Feature coverages are used in SMS to represent geometry and associated attributes as points, arcs, and polygons. Unlike most models used in SMS, TUFLOW uses coverage data as model inputs.

TUFLOW coverages can be associated with 2D Geometry Components and TUFLOW Simulations by creating links to the coverage in the component or simulation. The use of links allows multiple simulations or geometry components to share coverage data. Sharing data between simulations reduces required disk space for the simulation and makes it easier to update several simulations with the same changes.

In addition to the coverages listed below, TUFLOW models can use Area Property Coverages to define where to use specific material properties using polygons.
