The following menu commands are available in the TUFLOW Menu:

  • Cell Attributes
    This command is enabled when one or more cells on a TUFLOW grid are selected. The attributes that can be set using this command are the cell code and the option to override the global initial water level (set in the 2D Model Control). The cell code (water cell, inactive cell – in mesh, inactive cell – not in mesh) for the selected cells will only be used if Specify cell by cell is selected in Cell codes section of the TUFLOW Grid Options dialog.
  • Assign Material Type
    This command is enabled when one or more cells on a TUFLOW grid are selected. The command will open the Materials Data dialog. The Materials Data dialog will allow the user to select a material to assign to a cell. The material set for the cell will only be used if Specify cell by cell is selected in the Materials section of the TUFLOW Grid Options dialog.

The following menu commands are available in the TUFLOW Simulation Menu:

  • Delete
    This command will delete the TUFLOW simulation.
  • Duplicate
    This command will create another copy of the simulation.
  • Rename
    This command will allow you to rename the simulation.
  • Export TUFLOW files
    SMS will save the TUFLOW input files in the TUFLOW directory for that simulation. If one does not already exist, the user will be prompted to select a location.
  • Launch TUFLOW
    SMS will launch TUFLOW using input files that have previously been exported.
  • Save Project, Export and Launch TUFLOW
    SMS will save the project, write out the TUFLOW input files, and launch TUFLOW.
  • 2D Model Control
    This command will bring up the 2D Model Control dialog where various model parameters are set. See TUFLOW 2D Model Control page.
  • 1D Control
    This command will bring up the Control 1D dialog where various model parameters are set. See Model Parameters page.
  • Model Check
    This command will cause SMS to perform a check for invalid settings that could prevent TUFLOW from running properly. If errors are found, they will be reported in the Model Check dialog with information on how to correct them.
