TUFLOW Suite 2026 Release Workshops

Join us for a walkthrough of the latest developments across the TUFLOW 2026 release suite, including TUFLOW Classic/HPC, TUFLOW FV, TUFLOW CATCH and supporting resources such as the QGIS Plugin and pyTUFLOW Python library.

From a technical perspective this year’s workshop will showcase major enhancements introduced throughout the 2026 releases, including Linux support, expanded GDAL raster capabilities, new GeoPackage-based workflows, improvements to TUFLOW-SWMM and ESTRY modelling, enhanced groundwater and infiltration functionality, and new SGS water level outputs in TUFLOW HPC. The workshop will also highlight recent TUFLOW FV developments focused on streamlining model setup, improving diagnostics and troubleshooting, and providing greater control over simulation management.

Following last year’s launch of TUFLOW CATCH, which links both TUFLOW HPC and FV, we are finding more users are expanding their licence pool to cover the full TUFLOW product suite. In recognition of that common upgrade, from the 2026 release onwards we introduced new engine bundle discounts that make it easier and more affordable to access both TUFLOW Classic/HPC and TUFLOW FV, along with module sharing arrangements between both. We will walk you through these price and licensing changes so you can consider them during future licence changes. 

Through practical demonstrations and real-world examples, attendees of the 2026 New Release Workshop will learn how recent software enhancements can help reduce model development time, improve simulation performance, simplify data management, accelerate model review and troubleshooting, and increase confidence in modelling results. We will also discuss important backwards compatibility considerations, recommended upgrade practices, and recent licensing changes that can help organisations expand their modelling capabilities more efficiently.

Key topics will include:

• New Linux support for TUFLOW Classic/HPC (Both TUFLOW FV and Classic/HPC now support Linux and Windows)
• GDAL integration and Cloud Optimised GeoTIFF (COG) workflows
• Faster and more memory-efficient raster processing
• New GeoPackage time-series outputs
• TUFLOW-SWMM inlet and surcharge modelling enhancements
• Improvements to infiltration, groundwater modelling
• New Sub Grid Sample (SGS) water level output options for direct rainfall applications
• Enhanced TUFLOW FV diagnostics, including GIS-based error and warning reporting
• Improved project setup workflows using the TUFLOW FV Toolbox
• New restart file controls for improved simulation and scenario management
• New TUFLOW engine bundle discounts for organisations using both Classic/HPC and FV
• Module sharing between TUFLOW Classic/HPC, FV and CATCH for selected modules, including GPU and environmental modelling workflows
• Updated user manuals, documentation and workflow resources across the whole TUFLOW Suite
• Important bug fixes, compatibility considerations and upgrade guidance
• A first look at the next-generation QGIS TUFLOW Viewer interface and workflow improvements.
• Enhancements to the PyTUFLOW Python library to support automation and model development.

Whether you work in flood modelling, urban drainage, coastal and estuarine processes, catchment water quality, sediment transport or environmental assessment, this workshop will provide practical insights into how the latest TUFLOW developments can improve productivity, expand modelling capabilities and deliver better project outcomes.

The workshop provides a unique opportunity to hear directly from the development team, ask questions, and connect with industry peers during an informal networking session.
