HEC-RAS 2D has become a common tool for analyzing urban, flat terrain, confluences and other complex flooding scenarios. Learn HEC-RAS 2D in this hands-on two-and-a-half-day training class. You will leave with an understanding of:
- 2D Hydrodynamic Fundamentals
- Terrain Preparation and Editing
- Preparing Critical Model Layers (Manning’s ‘n’, etc.)
- 2D Boundary Conditions
- 2D Structures (Culverts, Bridges, and Inline)
- Pipe Networks
- Rain-on-Mesh Modeling
- Visualizing and Reviewing Results
- Numeric Tolerances and Computation Settings
- Model Review and Auditing
About the Training
Important: This training is reserved for public agencies only. Participants should have a basic understanding of HEC-RAS 1D, steady-state modeling. Unsteady HEC-RAS modeling experience would also be helpful, but is not necessary.
For more information or questions regarding this training, please contact RASTraining@Halff.com.
Note: Participants should bring their own laptop with HEC-RAS 7.0 installed. Halff will provide the workshop data for download and by flash drive. Click here to download the software for free.
