I was wondering if with the hec-ras controller we could pause a simulation at each time step to modify some values. I know we can make it stop when we create a hot start in the unsteady but will it take to much time to create a hot start every time step?
For now, the hot start method of pausing is the only way. There is a “pause” button in the computation window that you can use while the program is running, but there is no HECRASController procedure at this time to access that.
However, using the hotstart method for pausing does not take considerable time. Once it is set up, you’ll see it goes pretty fast. I’ve done it many times.
