geometric file

[ulrike]

Hi,

is it somehow possible to import an EXCEL-file with geometric data into HEC-RAS without always COPY-PASTE?
I also try to find how the geometric files in UNET,USACE,... are look like, perhabs it is easier to convert them and then import into HEC-RAS?

Thanks in advance

The UNET cross section file (*.cs) looks pretty much like a HEC-2 input
file. It is oriented as a forewater model with additional lines for the
additional features/options needed for UNET. Every line begins with a
two character header (X1, GR, T1, NC, etc.). The ten input fields per
line are formatted just like HEC-2. The UNET users manuals are
available for download off the BOSS web-site.

You could save the Excel file as an ASCII or csv file if you have set it
up to match the Import formats (GIS, USACE Survey, HEC-2, etc.). I have
not tried this to see if it works.

I have successfully exported geometric data from excel as a "Formatted Text (Space Delimited) *.prn" file and then changed the file name for HEC-RAS to import file. I am currently working on some macros to automatically create these files for HEC-RAS. I may post a notice that an interface is available when completed.
