SMS:TUFLOW Viewing Results

TUFLOW results are written in SMS mesh format in the \TUFLOW\results folder. The mesh module tools and menus are used to visualize the solution.

The solution files all start with the name of the simulation. The extension identifies the type of data in the result file.

• .2dm - two-dimensional output mesh in SMS format.
• .dat - The dataset files associated with the mesh solution (d for depth, h for water surface, etc.)
• .mat - The output materials from TUFLOW. Most of the element materials come from the tmf file. TUFLOW also uses the materials to identify boundary cells.
• .ALL.sup - A file that opens the .2dm file, all the .dat files, and the .mat file.
• .hV.sup - A file that opens the .2dm file, the water surface and velocity datasets, and the .mat file.
