Flood Platform: The Ultimate TUFLOW Upgrade
Flood Platform transforms the way you work with TUFLOW. It’s not just an add-on...it’s a game-changer.
From native file support and intuitive browser-based visualization to structured data management, advanced scenario comparison, scalable high-performance computing, and effortless sharing, it transforms every stage of your modeling process.
No more manual file searches, static reports, or hardware limitations - just faster simulations, clearer insights, and seamless collaboration. Ready to see the difference?
Effortless TUFLOW File Handling
Flood Platform is built to work seamlessly with TUFLOW’s file formats, including command files (tcf, ecf, tgc), spatial files (shp, geopackage, MapInfo) and results formats (xmdf and .dat/sup), so you can upload and manage models without conversion headaches. This ensures full compatibility with your existing workflows and eliminates time-consuming data preparation.
Plus, Flood Platform applies syntax highlighting to all control files, making it easier to understand file structure, identify key parameters, and quickly spot errors before running simulations. The result? Faster debugging, improved accuracy, and confidence in every run.
In-Browser Visualization of TUFLOW Results
Forget GIS installations and complex rendering setups. Flood Platform lets you instantly visualize TUFLOW 1D and 2D inputs and outputs, including water levels, depth grids, velocity vectors, hazard maps, and time-series animations - directly in your browser.
It’s intuitive and quick to learn, so you can start exploring results in minutes without training. No GIS expertise, no hydraulic modeling knowledge - just a clean, user-friendly interface that makes complex data accessible to everyone. This means faster QA checks, clearer communication, and zero reliance on specialist tools.
Automated Model Checks
Flood Platform doesn’t just store your files - it actively checks them. When you upload a model, it automatically runs a series of integrity checks to ensure all required files are present, links are intact (and corrected if necessary), and nothing is missing. If there’s an issue, you’re notified immediately - not weeks later when you go to run a simulation.
Whether you upload individual tcfs, linear batch scripts, or logical batches, Flood Platform parses each simulation, extracts key parameters, and verifies that every file is in place - saving you significant time and effort.
This proactive approach means fewer surprises, faster troubleshooting, and greater confidence in your models from day one.
Centralized Data Management & Version Control
Flood Platform acts as a structured repository for all your TUFLOW inputs, including boundary conditions, configuration files, simulation data, and much more - so everything sits side-by-side and is easy to find. No more trawling through folders.
Flood Platform automatically checks that all required files are present and organises them in a clear, logical structure. Built-in version control ensures you always know which files were used for each run, reducing errors and improving collaboration. Less time wasted searching, more confidence in your data management.

Unlock new possibilities and transform your business with a common modelling platform that works for you.
Advanced Scenario Comparison Tools
Stop flipping through static PDF reports. Flood Platform lets you compare multiple TUFLOW runs side-by-side in a dynamic, browser-based environment.
Visualize differences in flood extents, depths, velocities, and hazard ratings instantly, and toggle between scenarios with ease. This interactive approach saves time, improves clarity, and enables faster decision-making - perfect for option appraisal and stakeholder presentations.
Free Viewer Licences
Flood Platform makes sharing TUFLOW results effortless. Allocate viewer licences to clients and stakeholders at no additional cost, giving them instant access to maps, animations, and the ability to add comments - all in their browser. No TUFLOW installation, no GIS software, no technical setup required.
Viewer licences also enable secure model file downloads for project handover, eliminating the need for file shares or external hard drives. Faster collaboration, simplified reporting, and a seamless experience for everyone involved.
Scalable High-Performance Compute
Running large TUFLOW models or ensemble flood scenarios can be extremely resource-intensive, often pushing the limits of local hardware and extending simulation times.
Flood Platform solves this challenge by providing on-demand access to scalable, cloud-based High-Performance Computing clusters. Users can select from a range of specifications with different performance levels and associated costs, giving full control over how quickly simulations run and how budgets are managed.
Bring Your Own TUFLOW Licences
Flood Platform makes it simple to connect your existing TUFLOW licences, so you can run cloud-based simulations without incurring any additional licensing costs. You choose the version you need and share licences seamlessly across both Flood Platform and your on-premise environment, enabling parallel workflows without disruption.
Need to scale up quickly? No problem! Additional TUFLOW licences can be rented directly from Jacobs on a flexible monthly basis, giving you the freedom to handle peak workloads without long-term commitments.

Do I need TUFLOW to use Flood Platform?
No! Many of our users have no TUFLOW modelling experience at all. If your goal is to store, manage, and review data whenever you need, all you need is a Flood Platform subscription.
You only need a TUFLOW licence if you plan to run simulations on the platform - everything else, including visualisation and collaboration, works without it.

How do I connect my existing TUFLOW licence?
It’s easy! Go to Settings, select Licences, and upload your TUFLOW .wbc file.
Your TUFLOW licence must be deployed using a cloud container. If you currently use a traditional network container, you can migrate at no additional cost - contact support@tuflow.com to start the process.
If you have a standalone licence, you’ll need to upgrade your licence first before connecting it to Flood Platform.
