HEC-RAS Model with 2D Mesh Only.

There have been many questions lately about whether HEC-RAS 5.0 can perform a simulation with ONLY a 2D mesh (i.e. no cross sections). The answer is yes. In fact, in many ways it’s a lot easier. In this example, the standard Muncie project offered by the Hydrologic Engineering Center has been converted first to SI […]

Creating your mesh in RAS 2D

Your computational mesh is what will allow you to do 2D modeling in HEC-RAS. Think of a mesh as a net that you drape over your terrain. The continuous properties of the “infinite” terrain are then discretized onto the mesh so that computations can be made over a finite domain. Here in the geometry editor, […]
