Learn how to build a simple 2D TUFLOW flood model
This course guides users through the setting up and simulation of a simple 2D TUFLOW flood model. The online content in this course is expected to take approximately four hours to complete.
This hybrid eLearning course typically takes 4 hours to cover all online content. The course is hosted online 24/7. It includes step by step lessons comprising of a combination of written notes, background content videos, demonstration videos and hands-on exercises.
This eLearning course is free and can be carried out on and off when the user chooses within the allocated 6 week registered access period. You will access the training via the TUFLOW eLearning portal.
This course teaches how to create a simple 2D TUFLOW flood model. Prior completion of the following free eLearning courses is required:
QGIS version v3.10 or later must be used for this workshop. If you already have a version of QGIS installed, though it is older than 3.10, please install the latest version. This information is outlined in the prerequisite instructions included in TT000, though is fundamental to the successful running of this course, and as such is worthwhile reiterating.
