sediment spatial plots/calibration in HECRAS 4.0

[arienstag]

Hello everybody!
I m using hecras 4.0 for a river reach for predicting longitudinal bed profile !some encountered problems are..

(1 )sediment outputs are always in US customary though model has been run in SI Units.

(2)profile plot is not available in sediment spatial plot option.

(3)What parameters within the outputs should be chosen for calibration of sediment transport module in Hecras.
If anybody has answers ,please help ! !

1) yes, I think this is a bug

2) WSE is the water profile, XSED Bottom is the bed profile

3) Calibration is a funtion of what data you have to calibrate to. If you have bed change over a period of time (elevation or preferably volume) use XSED Bottom Delta or XSED MASS BED DELTA CUM TOT (convert to volume using porosity). If you just have measured capacities then I'd use the time series output and the XSED Mass out.
