Multiple Opening Analysis
Did you know that if you have a bridge opening and one or more culverts at a single river crossing a Multiple Opening Analysis is required?

So Riley and I recently gave this a thorough run through. After a few bugs were fixed up, it works quite nicely. The key here is you have to have a terrain model that is spatially and vertically consistent with your RAS geometry. Once you’ve successfully run your model, and you have a terrain model in the form of a floating point grid format (*.flt), you are ready to map within HEC-RAS (i.e. no ArcGIS required).
On the main HEC-RAS window, go to GIS Tools…Floodplain Mapping. I know, there is no “GIS Tools” menu item on the main HEC-RAS window. In the next release (4.0.1) there will be. This will bring up the RAS Mapper. It looks like a very basic version of ArcGIS. By default you’ll see your river and cross sections plotted in plan view. One of the tools allows you to define a projection, but if everything is consistent, you can bypass this and go right to mapping. Here, you’ll be able to bring in your terrain model.
This is seriously way too easy. Next you simply click on the profiles you want to map and click “Generate Layers.” There you’ll see all of the floodplains and associated depth layers that you requested. The only thing missing…animation of the RAS Mapper. Maybe if I ask real nice they’ll put that in.

on July 29, 2009Great inside scoop, Chris! I hope they'll fix some of the other buggies in it 🙂
Chris G.
on July 29, 2009Yeah…me too! But this RAS Mapper looks very cool.
Kurt
on July 30, 2009I'm guessing you's still need ArcGIS to edit your floodplains?
Chris Hauser
on July 30, 2009Hey, Chris G. et. al.-
Just came across your blog. I was thinking to myself, "I wonder if anyone has started a blog devoted to HEC-RAS?", and one Google search later, bingo. I'll be checking out the forum, also.
Nice post on 4.0.1. I am looking forward to the increasing ability to work with GIS info directly in RAS.
Chris G.
on July 30, 2009Kurt-
Yes…you're right about that. Any smoothing of the floodplains or other advanced GIS editing techniques will still have to be done in GIS software. Although I think the idea is that HEC will, over time, add more and more GIS editing capability to the RAS Mapper. The nice thing for AutoCAD users (or other GIS software users) is that you are not forced to use ArcGIS now. You can simply open the shapefile(s) created in the RAS Mapper and "edit away" in your favorite GIS software application. In previous versions of RAS, you had to use HEC-GeoRAS, which is an extension to ArcGIS to create your floodplain maps (or other expensive 3rd party software apps like RiverCAD).
Chris G.

Glad you found the blog. Check back often.

on June 22, 2010The HEC-RAS website demonstrated a animation of "Flood inunation", show dynamically showing the inundation area, and the text said it is made by using HEC-RAS. But I cannot find this function in RAS. Anynoe can help?
Chris G.
on June 24, 2010I believe what you saw was made with GeoRAS within ArcGIS (or ArcView). To do this, you need to have ArcGIS, spatial analysist, and 3d analyst, as well as GeoRAS. Alternatively, the RASMapper can do a lot of this completely within HEC-RAS.

on November 8, 2010Hi, Chris G.
Sorry but, how can I generate the .flp archive? I use Hec-GeoRas to introduce geometry into the models, but I don't be able to export the bynari file requested by RAS Mapper.
Chris G.
on November 8, 2010The .flt file is a floating point grid. It can be generated in ArcGIS or other GIS applications. It cannot be generated in the RAS Mapper (yet).
Rodolfo Dornelas
on February 15, 2011Hi there
How the .flt terrain file looks like?
ENZ separate with spaces?
Anonymous
on May 13, 2011Being that I am limited/stuck with using Microstation Inroads and no GIS software is there any way to convert the info in a .dtm file to a .flt file. Thanks
Chris G.
on May 13, 2011Not sure how to do it with Inroads. Do you know anyone with ArcGIS that can convert it for you?

on May 28, 2012Regarding RAS Mapper crashes – here are a few troubleshooting strategies.
1) After doing a model run, don't change your geometry before using RAS Mapper — this can cause a crash.
2) Check that you can generate the interpolation surface. Errors can happen here if you have some cross-sections which don't intersect the river centreline (e.g. as a result of interpolating cross-sections over a coarsely resolved channel).
In this case, RAS Mapper should report which cross-sections are producing the errors in the lower left panel. You'll need to fix them and run the model again.
3) Make sure you have saved your project after running the model that you want to map. Do this before using RAS mapper — otherwise it seems to crash.
Chris G.
on May 28, 2012Thanks Anonymous (May 28th, 2012). Very good strategies for RAS Mapper!
Anonymous
on May 28, 2012RAS Mapper also seems to crash if the model contains storage areas which are not connected to anything.

on March 4, 2013how can v generate a geometry in HEC RAS
Chris G.
on March 4, 2013By manually drawing in your stream line components and adding cross sections one at a time, or by setting up layers in ArcGIS and importing them to HEC-RAS via the HEC-GeoRAS extension to ArcGIS.
James Pearson
on March 19, 2013Hi, im having a major issue whereby when I import my .flt DEM, the geometry data is not appearing on top of it, they are in mapper as two different layers :/ Have you encountered this? It is driving me mad!
Chris G.
on March 19, 2013I have not encountered that before. Sorry. Anyone else out there have this happen?
Chris G.
on March 19, 2013This from one of our GIS Analysts: "I’m assuming it is the result of differing projections. Did the RAS geometry undergo any transformation when imported into RAS, i.e., units converted from meters to feet? If the same transformation is not made on the DEM prior to it being converted to FLT and added to RAS Mapper, there will be alignment issues."
Charles Davis
on March 19, 2013.FLT is a binary float format, not comma-delimited or space-delimited ENZ or XYZ.

on May 9, 2013Hi,
I am trying to export encroached cross sections to map the flood fringe, but when I generate the layer it delineates the top of bank instead. Do you know how to fix this?
Thanks!
Chris G.
on May 9, 2013Could it be that your encroachment is set (or computed) to top of bank everywhere? Maybe that is why it is delineating the top of bank as the floodway boundary.
Julio Hydraulics
on January 31, 2014Please I need the way to transform Raster or Tin surface to float, because Arcmap don't export correctly (I`m not sure) when RAS Mapper upload the file, there is an error frequently. Problably there is an application or a specified secuence. Thanks a lot for your attention.
Chris G.
on February 11, 2014The arcmap tool should work fine. If it’s not showing up in RAS mapper it could be because it’s in the wrong projection (or not projected) or it could be too large. Also, this is a long shot, but you may want to check your Windows International Settings and make sure they are set to English (U.S.).

on July 11, 2014Hi everyone. Can any one advice me what to do when the RAS mapper doesn't show any result. HEC-RAS runs fine but when I used the RAS mapper, there is no image being shown
Chris G.
on July 11, 2014Are you using 4.1 or 5.0 beta? Either way, please read the steps carefully and make sure you are precisely following the procedure for remapping. 9 times out of 10, when this happens, it's because a step in the process was skipped and done incorrectly. Also, make sure your terrain isn't too large. Over 4 Gb and you will have issues.
Jao Banados
on August 19, 2014How come when i generate layers using ras mapper, the terrain layer is not visible in the map area? i hav set its symbology and still not visible. only the transition lines, cross-sections and the river is visible in the map area.
Chris G.
on August 20, 2014In the windows tree on the side, make sure that both the "Terrains" box and your specific terrain within the "Terrains" are checked. Also, make sure there is not another layer on top of the terrain (i.e. an aerial photo). Other than that, I'm not sure.

on September 9, 2014For some reason when I press generate layers, it creates nothing. I have followed everything exactly to the tutorial. but it shows no water surface. I see it doesnt even create the shape file. Some advise would be appreciated.

on September 10, 2014Hi, I have the same issue with Ras Mapper in HecRas v 4.1.0, did you find a solution?
Chris G.
on September 10, 2014Is your projection correctly defined? that could be the issue. Also, if the terrain is too big, RAS 4.1 has issues. You should give it a go in version 5.0 beta. You can download here. Although still a beta version, RASMapper is much better and easier to use. Make sure to follow the document "Combined 1D and 2D Modeling with HEC-RAS"

on February 26, 2016Ah. That must be why this isn't working for me. My *.flt is over 4 Gb. I guess I need to use a coarser grid??
Chris Goodell
on February 26, 2016The newer beta versions of 5.0 can handle flt files over 4 Gb. It will still take some time to process, but you should be able to do it. Grab the Sept 2015 beta version from main page of The RAS Solution in the Links section, if you don't already have it.
Ricardo Güete Calderon
on March 5, 2016Hi my name is Ricardo, i´m working with the Ras Mapper in a river of my country (Panamá), the layers are georeferenced because I exported from arcgis, i convert the terrain to use in ras mapper and i find the projection on internet to use a background image. But when i want to run the model on steady flow the following message appear: "Maps not computed: Unsteady simulation did not complete".
It's quite confuse because I´m working with steady flow and this message warning me abou the use of unsteady flow. I try to follow the chapter 9 in the manual but it wasn´t very clear the explanation in that part.
Additional i want to ask you if you give presencial courses using this models out of your country.
Thanks
Chris Goodell
on March 7, 2016Ricardo- That sounds like a bug. Have you tried the official and final release of HEC-RAS 5.0? http://hecrasmodel.blogspot.com/2016/03/hec-ras-50-official-release-is-available.html

Ricardo Güete Calderon
on March 8, 2016Thanks for you reply Chris, already download the 5.0 and following the chapter 9 no problems with the results, except with the velocity layer, it doesn't shows up. I runnning the model in steady flow mixed flow, I was viewing an example in Baxter river and i can see te results (subcritical flow). So, it can be something with flow condition?
Thanks
Ricardo
Chris Goodell
on March 11, 2016It should be there. Make sure you have everything "checked" and nothing is covering the velocity layer.
Unknown
on March 22, 2016On my own project using RAS Mapper in HEC-RAS 5.0.0, I've got good results for Depth and WSE but not velocity. The velocity layer is astericked and it says "One or more errors occurred".
Chris Goodell
on March 28, 2016Try removing the velocity layer, closing RAS Mapper, then reopening. If that doesn't work, try removing the velocity layer than rerunning RAS.
Angana Borah
on May 4, 2016If DEM does not give correct bed level of the river bottom , why do you you suggest using it for geometric datat extraction in HEC-geoRAS?
Chris Goodell
on May 4, 2016I use it for the "above water" terrain. Then I merge in the river channel, which is typically surveyed using traditional site and rod or with more sophisticated acoustic devices.
Angana Borah
on May 6, 2016So, that means that HEC-geoRAS alone does not suffice to generate all the required geometric data required to be input to HEC-RAS. If that is the case, then why is there no mention of it in the HEC-geoRAS tutorial because it was misleading for me as a novice in the field of spatial data analysis tools?
Also, if you have bathymetric data from other techniques, and HEC-RAS does not take into account the shape of the channel, so why bother working in HEc-geo RAS at all. Thank you for your patience.
Chris Goodell
on May 6, 2016HEC-GeoRAS is a tool that preprocesses GIS data in a form that can be read into HEC-RAS. HEC-GeoRAS does not create the DEM for you. HEC-GeoRAS is developed for users of GIS that have some experience. If you are having trouble understanding the GeoRAS process and what it can be used for, I suggest taking a course in GIS and becoming a little more experienced. Then it will make a lot more sense to you, and the benefits of using HEC-GeoRAS to speed up input data preprocessing for HEC-RAS will become clear to you. But, if HEC-GeoRAS is not your cup of tea, there's no requirement that you have to use it.
Angana Borah
on May 6, 2016I know GIS does not create DEM but I do not know a lot of other things. Thank you. I need to get my basics right with GIS before staring anything new. But the bottom line is that in order to create an accurate model, other methods of measuring river bed profile has to be adopted too, isn't it? Pardon my obtuseness.
Chris Goodell
on May 6, 2016That's correct, unless your stream depth is very low at the time of the topographic survey, in which case you might be able to ignore the underwater topo. Some people will approximate, and then even calibrate the river bed below water, rather than going to the effort to do a hydrosurvey. Others will be lucky and will find older cross sections from a previous study that they can blend in with their newer terrain.

on May 28, 2016I have developed 5 profiles of 5, 10,25, 50 and 100 years in HEC-RAS; however, all of these profiles give a similar extent. I don't understand where i am making a mistake.

on March 2, 2018Hello Chris,
I've been trying to create and export an inundation map in RAS Mapper for use with arcmap. WSE map is easily created with the model, but for some reason I cannot create an inundation map and export it in shp format. I'm missing a step or two…please help. I did notice the terrain source file does not show when viewing the the layer properties. Frustrating…
Chris Goodell
on March 2, 2018Yes there are a few more steps. You have to go to Add New Results Map. Then select the map you want to make but make sure you select a single profile and one of the options on the right to make a static map. Once that static map is computed, you’ll have access to it as a grid or shape file, whichever one you selected.
Anonymous
on March 5, 2018So under the Results Layer, I right clicked on CE plan and selected Add New Results Map Layer, then selected Inundation Boundary (map type), 100yr Fut (steady profile), and automatically the Stored (saved to disk) map output mode selects the Polygon Boundary at Value: 0, and I select Add Map. The inundation map layer shows up as a geom layer, and I right click on this layer and select compute/update stored map. The layer changes to italics and a red * with the disk symbol states "stored map files not found." Gone thru these steps several times with the same results. For some reason it's not computing the inundation map. What else can I do?

on July 19, 2019Solved!
I was having the exact same issues. I could display depth, flow, WSE, etc. maps but if I tried to make an Inundation Map of 0 ft depth, I received the same error. Here's what worked for me:
My RAS-MAPPER terrain was a .tif file exported from ArcGIS but the original terrain was LiDAR I downloaded from TNRIS. LiDAR has been known to have lapses (holes) in the surface files. I re-opened the terrain file in ArcGIS and ran the FILL command. The FILL command goes through and fills in imperfections in the terrain (sinks and peaks). I suspect there were imperfections that kept HEC-RAS from properly computing depth in certain spots. I also trimmed the terrain to a smaller boundary to reduce the file size though I don't think this is what fixed it.
After running this command, you should be able to bring this updated terrain into RAS-MAPPER. You'll probably need to spend some time updating your geometries because the terrain will be altered slightly.

on November 26, 2020Hi Chris,
It is a little off topic here. After successfully running HEC-RAS, in RAS Mapper, we have different outputs under results e.g. depth, velocity, etc. It is unclear to me what floodplain map means. Is it, for example, the shapefile of depth max ? or maybe velocity? Or a combination? Who and how defines a floodplain map?
Thanks for the time you take to answer us.

Inundation is showing in RAAS Mapper (Depth, WSE, velocity etc.) Water is showing up on the cross sections. But RAS Mapper wont create the inundation boundary map. I try to compute it but it doesn’t work. Saying the shape file doesnt exist. I would go with what this guy did to fix it, but I dont have access to ArcGIS.

I am currently working in HEC-RAS V6.0 the 3rd Beta,
Is there a way of copying geometry files from one HEC-RAS model to another? that is copy and paste model elements between projects in ras mapper or one has to create a new project and relink these?
In the case where one wants to create two separate projects for post and pre development?
