General Steps to Build a TUFLOW Model

• Define the domain or domains
• Setup boundary conditions
• Create the simulation
• Define Material Properties
• Set Model Parameters
• Run TUFLOW

• Find problems and verify model setup using check files
• View and analyze the results
• Repeat above steps to generate new simulations

Optional Steps

• Define flow constrictions
• Define geometry modifications such as levees

TUFLOW Coverages

Much of the data used in TUFLOW is specified on a coverage level into one of the TUFLOW Coverages.
