A TUFLOW simulation is comprised of a grid, feature coverages, and model parameters. SMS allows for the creation of multiple simulations and each includes “links” to these items. Links are like shortcuts in windows and they call for the geometry component as well as each coverage used that is not part of the geometry component.

By using links the data is not duplicated; it just knows where to go to get the data that has to be used for each simulation. The use of links allows these items to be shared between multiple simulations. Multiple simulations can be created if some components need to be changed to create different scenarios and links would call for the same components used in previous simulations. Simulations also store the model parameters used by TUFLOW.

Links are located in the Project Explorer under TUFLOW Simulation once a simulation has been created.
