Additional Length in General Profile Plot for Bridges

[NFischer]

Hello,

as I could not find a solution for this problem anywhere, I hope someone is able to help.

When modelling a Bridge in a 1D simulation, the distance of the Bridge in the Standard Profile Plot (e.g. when showing the velocity distribution) does not comply with the Distance it should have (it is shwon correcltly in the “view profile” plot. The distance that is added (but should not be) seems to decrease, the closer I position the Bridge to the downstream cross section (i.e. increase the distance to the upstream XS). The width of the Bridge does not seem to have an influence.
Also: As soon as I modell the same bridge as a culvert (fill the settings for “culvert”), this problem does not occur anymore, however this is of course not practical.

I am using Hec-Ras 5.0.6 on Win10. I also added the settings for my Bridge:

And the Standard Profile view with its added Distance at the bridge.

Thanks for your help,
Niklas
