Section 4 Control Files and Input Layers

This chapter discusses TUFLOW model inputs, which include the TUFLOW Control Files (text-based, easy to script, input files) and GIS layers (.shp, .gpkg or .mif formatted files). The different control files will be discussed along with how different objects within the GIS layers are treated by TUFLOW.
