Online Course: 2D Water Modelling with HEC-RAS – May 2019

A live and interactive 2D modelling course with added individual support

Master the powerful features of HEC-RAS to build 2D models through the new versions additional features and tools, with improved modelling capabilities and faster run times. Includes up to one hour of optional one-on-one screen-sharing time with the instructor to assist with troubleshooting or to set up or optimise your own project model.

These interactive, mentoring sessions provide a unique opportunity to ask questions as you build a model with your presenter, Krey Price, a highly experienced HEC-RAS user with extensive software development and lecturing experience. His career includes 15 years of developing hydraulic models for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Format:

The course is delivered through 10 units via the learning platform
2 live and interactive sessions of 2 hours over two weeks
- Thursday, 23 May, 10:30am (Sydney Time)
- Thursday, 30 May, 10.30am (Sydney Time)
- Sessions are recorded & uploaded to the learning platform if you cannot attend live.
Up to one hour optional one-on-one screen-sharing time with the instructor to assist with troubleshooting or to set up or optimise your own project model.
Pre-and-post-course materials to go through via the learning platform.
Exercises using a 50 page training manual between the 2 week live sessions.

Preparation: Pre-course reading and video watching is encouraged. There is also an opportunity to tailor the sessions to your direct questions via the initial survey. After the first week you will be given some exercises to complete, prior to the next session.

Requirements: A good internet connection and the latest version of HEC-RAS 5.0.6.
Download here. Please note: HEC-RAS Version 5.0.4 and newer will only run on 64-bit Windows operating Systems (including 64-bit versions of Window 7, 8.0, 8.1 and 10). Make sure your operating system is up-to-date with all Microsoft patches for your version, before trying to install HEC-RAS.

Content: This course consists of interactive, training and mentoring sessions. Krey will step you through the building of a flood model using RAS Mapper. You will then run, animate, interpret and troubleshoot your model.

Topics covered include:

Adding 2D mesh refinement areas
Adding individual culvert coordinates
Adding variable time steps
Adding internal boundary conditions
Generating rating curves
New options for exporting results

Outcome: On completion of the course attendees will be issued with a Certificate of Participation.
