Now this is the kind of post that gets you on The RAS Solution! Cutting edge creative solutions to complex problems. This is great stuff. Thanks Michael for all the effort you put in to this. In today’s post we’ll cover two methodologies that leverage HEC RAS results to create impressionable and multi-dimensional flood visualizations. […]
HEC-RAS Modelers! Don’t miss this opportunity for 2D HEC-RAS training in beautiful Boise Idaho. I’ll be teaching this class and hope to see you there! There are limited seats for this class so don’t delay in signing up. This will be a three-day course with a mix of lectures and workshop exercises. You will learn […]
Fellow HEC-RAS modelers. Today is National Dam Safety Day. Dam Breach modeling is a key component to a well-rounded and robust dam safety program. If you’re doing dam breach modeling, you need to check out McBreach. Probabilistic hydraulic modeling is where we’re heading with dam breach analysis. Why not get a head start with McBreach. […]
For those of you who will be in the Portland Oregon area on June 27th, I invite you to join me for this special event Kleinschmidt is hosting at the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne. I’ll be joined by two dynamic and entertaining presenters: Krey Price of Surface Water Solutions and Sean Welch of BPA. We […]
If you’ve been doing some 2D modeling, you most likely have run into what I call nuisance cell errors. You see them while your model is running and they can really slow down your simulation as the RAS chugs through iterations to try to come to a solution. The errors here are in the […]
RAS Modelers- This class is filling up fast! Don’t wait to register! Please come join me in Atlanta for a 3-day informative, workshop-oriented course in Atlanta Georgia this May 7-9. This will be a great opportunity to learn everything you need to know to get started with combined 1D-2D HEC-RAS Modeling. Please visit here for […]
Fellow RAS Users: Please take note that a new version of HEC-RAS, Version 5.0.7, is now available to download. This is purely a bug fix release, so there are no new (advertised) features. You may download the new version here: http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/ Please read the following announcement from Gary Brunner and the list of bug fixes […]
Using RAS Mapper as a GIS tool Part 2: Shifting Web Imagery with World Files Have you ever tried pulling web imagery into RAS Mapper only to find that it doesn’t line up with your existing shape files, terrain surfaces, or other geospatial data? In this second of a three-part series on using RAS Mapper […]
RAS Users: Please give this “Known Issues” report a read if you’re using Version 5.0.6. If you’ve been doing a lot of 2D modeling, it’s likely you have been affected by some of these. This link includes a document of “Known Issues” found in version 5.0.6 of HEC-RAS to date. The document outlines all of […]
One of the most anticipated new features soon to come in the next major version of HEC-RAS (Version 5.1) is the option of running unsteady 1D reaches with a finite volume solution scheme. This will be a fantastic addition to HEC-RAS. Gary Brunner recently gave me a brief overview of the new finite volume feature […]
