# 2D Results

On completion of a 2D simulation, you can [Load 2D results](/v1/docs/how-to-load-2d-results) to visualise directly in the **Map** view of the interface. From here, you can also [Animate 2D results](/v1/docs/how-to-animate-2d-results). Flood Modeller also provides functionality to [Load 2D diagnostics](/v1/docs/how-to-load-2d-diagnostics) and the [2D flood extent](/v1/docs/how-to-load-the-2d-flood-extent) into the interface.

The [2D flood map](/v1/docs/how-to-create-a-2d-flood-map) tool can be used to create the flood extent outline (for example, in Google Earth format), or flood depth grids.

It is also possible to produce a variety of plots to visualise your 2D data. These include [2D time series](/v1/docs/how-to-produce-a-plot-of-2d-time-series-results) plots, [cross-sectional data](/v1/docs/how-to-produce-a-plot-of-cross-sectional-data) plots, [2D flow line](/v1/docs/how-to-produce-a-flow-line) plots, and [2D plots using 1D embedded structures](/v1/docs/how-to-produce-a-plot-with-1d-embedded-structures).

[The 2D Flood Calculator tool](/v1/docs/the-2d-flood-calculator-tool) can be used to convert 2D results into flood depth grids and flood extent shapefiles. A clear way to display event duration data is as a grid where the vertical scale, i.e. colour scale, represents total time when a threshold water level was exceeded.

Flood Modeller provides [The flood event duration tool](/v1/docs/the-flood-event-durationtool) to produce these data from any 2D model result (including TUFLOW results). You may also find it helpful to [View the grid elevation of each cell](/v1/docs/how-to-view-the-grid-elevation-of-each-cell) within your 2D simulation results, or to [Create a new colour ramp](/v1/docs/how-to-create-a-new-colour-ramp-for-a-layer) for the result layers.
