+STOP! Error in the time window – HDF5-DIAG

[thomas34]

Hello everybody !

I’m trying to do an unsteady flow simulation analysis in HEC-RAS 5.0.3 (version downloaded in November 2017) and I don’t understand why I’ve got this error. I read a same topic about this same problem but it didn’t help me

Performing Unsteady Flow Simulation HEC-RAS 5.0.3 September 2016

+STOP! Error in the time window.
HDF_ERROR trying to close HDF output file:
HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.11) thread 0:
#000: ..\..\src\H5F.c line 2044 in H5Fclose(): invalid file identifier
major: Invalid arguments to routine
minor: Inappropriate type
HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.11) thread 0:
#000: ..\..\src\H5T.c line 1761 in H5Tclose(): not a datatype
major: Invalid arguments to routine
minor: Inappropriate type

Actually when I change my language setting from french to English (US) or when I change my region from France to United State or finally if I change my date format from french to american format HEC-RAS is unable to run even the geometric preprocessor.

It says : “Ending simulation date/time was not recognized, check the date and its format”

I’m using a model previously built by someone else and for his hydrographs as boundary conditions the time window was from the 30NOV2003 0000 to the 12DEC2003 0000

In my case the time window of my hydrographs are from 30NOV2003 0000 to the 09DEC2003 0000

So I changed it in the unsteady flow analysis with the right format but it doesn’t work

I feel that the DSS file could have an impact on it
Also what is the impact of the HEC – RAS Set Output Control Options on HDF5 parameters ?

Have you got any ideas to help me ?

Thanks

Hi thomas34,

If i were you, i’d create a new plan and try again.
You also should to try delete the hdf files and run your model.
Pre-run the 2D Flow Areas Hydraulic Tables would also help.

Sometimes these kind of error message is just a joke but you have to fool it.

are you using decimals or commas as separators?

I have the same problem and I can not solve it ….

I had the same Error and managed to solve it. The HDF file is your terrain file, so something is wrong with your Geometry. In my case one of my external boundary conditions which had a normal depth was inside my perimeter. As soon as I moved it out, the error disappeared. Not sure if we had the same problem, but hope it helps.
