GeoHEC-RAS adds significant functionality over the base HEC-RAS software. Generally I can complete tasks with fewer clicks and the menus are more easier to navigate than HEC-RAS. Rather than switching between RAS Mapper and the HEC-RAS geometry window in HEC-RAS, I am able to define and edit geometry in the same window which improves efficiency. I do a lot of 2D modelling and the ability to select from a variety of mesh types including hexagonal has helped to reduce the number of mesh errors compared to using HEC-RAS. We also consistently export the GeoHEC-RAS models to HEC-RAS to facilitate review by others without a license and have not had any issues. The GIS tools in the software have also been useful, such as the stamp geometry tool that allows me to define a cross-section shape, channel path, and inverts and the software creates a new terrain file where the cross-section is burned in along the path to ensure the low-flow channel is represented, rather than having to manually adjust each cross-section in HEC-RAS. Overall the software is intuitive, greatly improves productivity in hydraulic modelling and has been a good investment for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Working in Canada I have found that a lot of the integrated data, such as stream layers, land use, and stream gauges are only available in the US. Ideally I would like to see more Canadian data added to the software. I would also like to use the models more collaboratively with coworkers in the future by saving and accessing the models via OneDrive, but have run into issues where the OneDrive path is different on others PCs so the file references do not work on other PCs. Being able to use relative path names may be able to address this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Automated tools for basin delineation, determining land cover, time of concentration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
LiDAR import requires the assignment of project coordinate system one-by-one. The global assignment would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GeoHECHMS is able to delineate watersheds and longest flow paths in a fast efficient process that is not available in other watershed processing softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing that I dislike, their team quickly resolves any issues that may pop up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is easy to navigate and use with helpful pulldown menus. Additionally, the customer support team was knowledgeable and accessiable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have not come across anything as of yet that I have not liked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Arm yourself with all the tools to manipulate your catchment as you please, and complete H&H studies in bulk while creating automatic but truthful and credible reports. WOW, your clients with catchment profiles. Automate your tedious time of concentration computations. Export and Import from HEC-1, HMS, Hydrocad, LandXML, Civil3D, and Shapefiles. GEOHECHms is HMS on top of ArcGIS and AutoCAD. I submitted 60 small H&H studies in one month. That amount of work I previously performed in at least three months and a half. It is deceptively simple but extremely powerful and convenient. It is also very well-priced for all it does. JUMP IN! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I cannot think of anything that they can do to make your experience better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease and efficiency of modeling bridges is what I like best about GeoHECRAS. The support staff is also very friendly and helpful if you ever encounter issues while using the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program does get updated often and if you do not have the most up to date version, there can be errors in your model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to start and understand procees once provided example with engineer. Customer support was great. Very talented engineers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A little less inuative than I had hoped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GeoHECRAS is easy to use, and the customer support is always helpful if there is something challenging that arises. The terrain integration and ease of geometry edits make the software the best I have utilized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to have the ability to map the encroachment boundaries with more detail such as having a smooth line boundary between cross sections, generally reflecting curvilinear nature of the river reach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to overlay aerials and other maps, as well as importing topographic data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Many exisitng HECRAS models need to be geolocated prior to working on them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
