Delft Dashboard is open source package and is part of the OpenEarth suite. It is all written in Matlab and provides and model interface for several numerical models (eg. Delft3D-FLOW, XBeach, ed.), however the main functionality of Dashboard is written for Delft3D-FLOW. It uses online available data (bathymetry: GEBCO '08, tide: TPXO). When one would like to set-up a model within minutes the Model maker toolbox can be used. For more advanced Delft3D-FLOW functionality (tropical cyclones, tsunami's ed.) also toolboxes are developed. On this page the different Matlab routines applied within Dashboard are elaborated.

The toolbox Model Maker has two functions which can be used for all models supported by Dashboard (Delft3D-FLOW, Delft3D-WAVE, D-FLOW FM and XBeach) which makes it easy to set-up a rectangular grid and a matching the bathymetry to it. For FLOW also functionality related to boundary conditions and roughness is implemented.
