HEC-RAS 6.0 Project Example Opening Errors – Solved!
This article addresses a common error that occurs when trying to open the 2D Unsteady Flow Hydraulics example projects in HEC-RAS 6.0.
PowerPoint Screen Record
Screen recordings are a powerful tool to help display and share animations from your RAS model. You can create screen recordings of the RAS Mapper animations that can be used to show changes in velocity, WSE, Depth, or any other mapping variables over time, instead of as a still image. There is software out there […]
Tuesday Tip of the Week–Shift to Pan
As most HEC-RAS users quickly find out, there are some convenient tools for managing your view in an HEC-RAS graphic. Zoom In, Zoom Previous, Zoom Out, Full Plot, and Pan. These generally work how you think they should and are available on all of the HEC-RAS graphics including the geometry schematic, profile plots, cross section […]
Deleting Portions of HEC-RAS Cross Sections Quickly
Ahead of the wide-scale implementation of the 2-dimensional (2-D) modeling module in HEC-RAS, I wanted to share a quick tip that will be useful for editing your 1-dimensional (1-D) HEC-RAS model to prepare to couple your 1-D channel with a 2-D overbank area. It’s common to have a cross section with a well-defined channel and […]
Tuesday Tip of the Week–HTAB Headwater Maximum for Bridges
Have you ever looked at your profile plot from an unsteady flow model and found “walls of water” on top of your bridge? Or just unexplained unrealistically large amounts of energy loss over a bridge? Take this for example: Notice the three large “steps” in energy grade line (and water surface elevation). It’s hard to […]
