Introduction to 2D modelling
Learning objectives
Attend our introductory CIWEM-accredited training course to gain an overview of the 2D modelling techniques available within Flood Modeller. It is aimed at users who want to learn about 2D modelling, including overland flows, breach and culvert modelling.
By the end of this course, you will appreciate the pros and cons of 2D modelling and the data required in order to undertake it. You will have a good understanding of the 2D functionality within the software and know when it is applicable to apply each solver. You will be able to use the software for a variety of modelling applications where full 2D or 1D-2D linked models are required.
The course will allow you to familiarise yourself with the various tools and features within the software, allowing you to build your own 2D model, run simulations, troubleshoot common modelling issues and interpret results.

Additional information
The in-person version of this course is delivered in one day. The course starts at 09:30 and finishes at 17:00.
The online version of this course is delivered across two-days. It consists of four sessions, with each session being delivered across a two-hour period. Two sessions are delivered each day with the first session in the morning followed by a second session in the afternoon.
Prior to the training, you will receive a detailed document which provides all the information you need to undertake the course, including the agenda, links to the various resources, and details on how to access Flood Modeller.
Each attendee must provide their own laptop to undertake the training. However, a one-month Flood Modeller Standard edition training license (worth £600) is provided to each attendee.
This course is approved by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management and attendance will contribute toward your continuing professional development (CPD).
