    Finally … These last days I was beginning to despair

    Hello Stephane and Chris 😉 I will test it with my current embankment breach project

    I have noticed that I am unable to run any HEC-RAS version beyond 4.1 (all of the beta versions as well as this version 5.0) when I have FLO-2D installed on the same computer. When running HEC-RAS, this error occurs, "HEC-RAS cannot start because there are hdf5 libraries in your Windows system folder(s). It is poor practice to copy application libraries into the system folder because of the order that Windows loads libraries used by programs. Delete hdf5*.dll files from:

    C:Windowssystem32
    C:WindowsSysWOW64
    And then start HEC-RAS again.

    HEC-RAS will now exit."

    If I follow these instructions, RAS will work but FLO-2D will not.
    Currently our solution is to run one software on the main computer and run the other on a virtual machine.

    Hi all. I used the last beta in my last job

    Nice!

    Nice stuff! Thank you for the post.
    I have a quick question – We should have depth-vs-time graphs everywhere within a rain-on-grid 2D domain area, even few millimetres, but why there are many points we just have ZERO depth graphs?

    Nice. Do you plan to publish EA benchmark test?

    Were there changes from the Aug 2015 beta to the final release?

    Yes. A few new items, but mostly bug fixes and an improvement to the full momentum solver for 2D.

    No, but HEC might.

    Not sure. I haven't tested that yet.

    Just found the answer. Go to RAS Mapper/Tools/Render Mode Options, then select Horizontal (As computed), set Plot Tolerance to zero, we can see the water everywhere in the 2D domain!

    When I open up the geometric data editor it now has a grid of numbers completely covering the model extents, and I can't figure out how to turn the numbers off. I turned everything off in View Options and that didn't do it. Any thoughts; what am I missing?

  15. Chris Goodell

    Could it be a map layer in the background images? Other than that and the view options, not sure why that is happening. Do you know what the numbers represent?

    It appears to be associated with the terrain, but I have been working with this same terrain and project for months with no similar problem.

    Hello Chris, can I install this 5.0 final along with the previous beta or 4.1 in the same drive C?
    Thanks for answering and have a good day!

  18. Chris Goodell

    on March 16, 2016

    Yes. I have 4.1 and 5.0 on my computer. Both work. I think you can even have the beta version on there with 5.0.

    Are there issues with installing on Windows 10 Pro? Thanks!

    Hi Chris, are there any issues with Windows 10? Thanks!

    I don't know of anything specific. But what I do know is that HEC did not test RAS 5.0 with Windows 10. So there are likely to be some quirks, at the least.

    HECRAS 5 work fine on my Windows 10 Home

    I've installed it onto my Windows 10 Pro machine, and haven't found any issues so far.

    Hi Chris, Just installed 5.0.4, all works fine but unable to open RAS Mapper although 5.0.3 version is working fine. I have Win 7, is anyone here facing same issue?

    That’s not good! You may want to let HEC know if you can’t resolve the issue.
