This is one of the coolest workaround ideas for HEC-RAS that I’ve seen in a long time. One of my joys in teaching HEC-RAS to professionals and students around the world is seeing the clever ways that people use and apply HEC-RAS. Whether in a training class, giving technical support, or just simply over discussions […]
If you are in the neighborhood, how about joining me for a course in HEC-RAS 2D modeling at the Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción (Catholic University of Concepcion), Chile November 8-10, 2016. Please visit the University’s website for more information and to register. http://www.ucsc.cl/postgrado/curso-two-dimensional-modeling-using-hec-ras-5-0/ Space will be limited, so don’t delay signing up. Hope to see […]
Now that 2D modeling is becoming widespread in the HEC-RAS community, a lot of HEC-RAS users are wanting to know what kind of computer to build to maximize computation speed when running those large 2D datasets. I had an opportunity to interview Gary Brunner about this and he had some valuable insight I’d like to […]
Dam breach course in New Zealand and Round 2 of HEC-RAS 5.0 2D courses across Australia! We had a great turnout for our first HEC-RAS 2D course in Melbourne back in April, and I’m excited to be returning to the southern hemisphere in November to teach a 3-day HEC-RAS Dam Breach course to be […]
HEC-RAS 2D Modelling training in London! Less than one month away so we’re making the final call. This is your last opportunity to register for this class. This will be a fantastic opportunity to learn how to set up and run 2D and 1D/2D HEC-RAS models using the newly released HEC-RAS 5.0. I will be […]
Para los compañeros usuarios de HEC-RAS viviendo dentro o cerca de España, mi colega Marty Teal estará dictando dos cursos de modelación bidimensional con HEC-RAS5.0 allá en Octubre: en Barcelona el 19-21 y en Sevilla el 24-26. Me gustaría estar allá pero Marty habla español mucho mejor que yo 🙂 Vaya aquí para más información. […]
***Update: I received a few very important comments about this post that I want to share. First, and this is very important: These methods are not meant to be used to do any kind of detailed bridge design or bridge scour analysis (contraction, abutment, or pier scour). The methods I present in this post are […]
Back in September 2015, I wrote an article on how to extractflow data from a transect in a 2D area. This was a round-about way of getting flow flux data out of RAS Mapper. Back then the beta version of HEC-RAS 5.0 was somewhat limited in the ways data could be extracted from a 2D […]
Now that the official release of HEC-RAS 5.0 is out with 2D capabilities, I’m getting a lot of questions about whether 1D or 2D (or 1D/2D combined) is the best way to set up a specific model. The answer is very simple. Like everything else…It depends! Fortunately, there are some guidelines. 1. The general […]

I’ll be teaching our very popular 2D HEC-RAS course in my home town of Portland Oregon, just in time to feature the official release of HEC-RAS 5.0. If you live in the area, or you’ve always wanted to figure out why everyone is talking about Portland (and HEC-RAS 5.0!), read on for more information […]
The wait is over! Finally the official release of HEC-RAS Version 5.0 is here. You can download it from the HEC website at http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/ If the download from the HEC website is slow, you can also download it from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0bpiyLiUeRXTy1pdUNralMzZ1U/view?usp=sharing (207 MB, Installation package without example problems) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0bpiyLiUeRXNGllMlE5V1dmQmM/view?usp=sharing (538 MB, Installation package with example problems) This new […]
