# Select 2D simulation outputs

A variety of outputs are calculated by default when you run a 2D simulation. You can customise each simulation to ensure all the parameters you require are included.

### Steps

1. Open the simulation and navigate to the **Domains** tab, then click on the **Outputs** sub-tab. The displays all available simulation outputs in a list on the right of this sub-tab.
2. The outputs apply to the domain highlighted. Each domain present in the **2D Domains** field is considered twice; output-Domain 1 and output_max-Domain 1 contain the timeseries results for Domain 1, and the maximum values for Domain 1, respectively. Click a row within the **Domain outputs** field to select it and adjust the outputs for that domain.
3. 15 parameters are available as outputs from your simulation. By default, five of these outputs are calculated; depth, elevation, flow, velocity, and relative mass error. You can check the boxes of other parameters you are interested in, and uncheck any you do not require to ensure maximum efficiency.

Tip:

Double-click in a row in the **Domain outputs** field to adjust the output name, the frequency of the output (not relevant for any maximum values outputs), and the output format.
