Technical Reference

This is the technical reference section of the manual. For information about using Flood Modeller, we recommend browsing to the How to section instead.

The default layout of the Flood Modeller Graphical User Interface (GUI) is shown above. Each component of the GUI can be moved to a different location (Dockable Work Canvas) and even onto a different screen if you use several monitors (Multi Monitor Support).

Please navigate this section via the contents on the left or the links below.
