Section 15 Viewing Outputs

This chapter provides guidance on viewing and processing TUFLOW output. For guidance on customising outputs, see Chapter 11. The fundamental software necessary for viewing results is discussed in Section 2.2. The recommended software for viewing TUFLOW results, due to the TUFLOW Viewer contained within the QGIS TUFLOW Plugin, is QGIS. This chapter is based on using QGIS as the viewing platform. It describes the following:

• Output folder structure (Section 15.1);
• 1D outputs (Section 15.2);
• 2D outputs (Section 15.3);
• Post processing and scripting (Section 15.4);
• Impact mapping (Section 15.5); and
• Animation generation (Section 15.6).
