Running HEC-RAS on HPC cluster

[Anonymous]

Hi Chris,

We plan to perform Monte Carlo simulations with HEC-RAS to generate probabilistic floodplain maps. Due to the high computational demands, we think the simulations should be done on cluster. However, we realized HEC-RAS is only compatible with windows which limits its application for running on linux. I was wondering if you have any suggestion for running HEC-RAS and applying your automating codes in cluster (Linux).

Thanks,

Dear Chris,

I am currently running some HEC-RAS simulations on our cluster (linux-based). I noted that despite setting the number of cores within the computational options, HEC-RAS always uses all cores available (i.e., 64). This did not happen when running HEC-RAS on a normal computer. Have you noticed this before? Can you advise on how to set the number of cores when running HEC-RAS on a HPC?

Many thanks and kind regards,
Stephanie

Hi Chris,

I wonder if there is any tutorial or manual to install hec ras GUI on linux/ubuntu, I have tried with the document on the official site but it is not very clear and it does not work for me.
I will be attentive to any help.

Greetings, Matías

Hello,

Is anyone familiar with running HEC RAs on a Linux platform?
I’m encountering errors in my attempts.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help.
