RASter Calculator scripting for RAS Mapper
This article explains how to perform RASter Calculator scripting in RAS Mapper. Scripting in RAS Mapper is useful for analyzing RAS raster results.
Creating Static Results Maps (Shapefiles or Rasters) using RAS Mapper
Many readers have been asking how to create shapefiles and other static maps in RAS Mapper. One of the main differences between RAS Mapper in RAS 4.1 and RAS 5.0 is the existence of Dynamic Maps. What makes these maps dynamic is that when you have that Results Layer selected in RAS Mapper, you can […]
“Using HEC-RAS for Dam Break Studies”
HEC recently published a new training document called “Using HEC-RAS for Dam Break Studies”. Written by Gary Brunner, P.E., D.WRE, it is an easy to follow guide for performing Dam Break simulations in HEC-RAS. It covers topics like: Which routing technique to use to route flows through your reservoir (Dynamic or Level Pool-although I wish […]
