Many readers have been asking how to create shapefiles and other static maps in RAS Mapper. One of the main differences between RAS Mapper in RAS 4.1 and RAS 5.0 is the existence of Dynamic Maps. What makes these maps dynamic is that when you have that Results Layer selected in RAS Mapper, you can […]
Version 5.0.3 is now available from the HEC website. Besides bug fixes, there are a few new or improved features of note: Culvert Inlet/Outlet Control Using 2D Flow Equations at Lateral Structures Flow and Volume Time Series Output on Profile Lines in RAS Mapper Profile Line Point and Tick Marks Legend for RAS Mapper Improvements […]
Para los compañeros usuarios de HEC-RAS hispanohablantes, mi colega Marty Teal estará dictando nuestro curso de modelación bidimensional con HEC-RAS 5 en español en Barcelona el 19-21 de octubre, solo queda esta semana para inscribirse. Vaya aquí para más información. For my fellow Spanish speaking HEC-RAS Users, my colleague Marty Teal will be teaching our HEC-RAS 5 2D Course in Spanish October 19-21 […]
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 […]
Limited-time early-bird discounts available Registrations are now available for our dam breach course in Auckland, New Zealand to be held from 29 November to 1 December 2016. I will be teaching this course with help from Mr. Krey Price of Surface Water Solutions. Please come and join us! Register here: www.surfacewater.biz/auckland/ We have fewer than […]
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 […]
*Update: Please note that HEC has removed HEC-RAS Version 5.0.2 from their website due to the discovery of a significant bug. A newer version (5.0.3) will be posted soon. Stay tuned… HEC-RAS Version 5.0.2 is now available to download from http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/downloads.aspx In addition to a number of bug fixes there are some new features. Here are […]
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 […]
An interesting and informative paper by Mr. Bruno Neves of Brazil on HEC-RAS dam breach modeling and determining the self rescue zone, as well as the timing for alerting residents of the self-rescue zone. The concept is tested using HEC-RAS with hypothetical 2D breach scenarios of the Santa Branca Dam in the Paraíba do Sul […]
HEC-RAS has the ability to simulate flow at hydraulic controls in a variety of ways. Bridges, culverts, inline structures, lateral structures, and SA/2D area connections can all act as hydraulic controls. Effectively, they break up the conservation equations used between cross sections in a 1D reach and/or cells in a 2D area with empirically derived […]
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 […]
