HEC-RAS output file format - Free Online Discussion Forum For Hydrology and Hydraulics Software

Dear Chris,

I use HEC-RAS for my study with many different alternatives. I want to write a small program in Pascal or Fortran to extract results automatically from the output files .O01 or .O02 of HEC-RAS. Is it possible? Would you tell me where I can find the document about the format/structrure of these files?

Thank you in advance,
T.L. Nghiem

Um... Take a lot of programmer time and mix with a lots of hard work and eventually you will reverse engineer it :).

This is what we have done with the RMS and RiverCAD products. There really is no documentation for it, especially since the HEC-RAS engine source code was (and is) not released to the public domain.

If you want to contact our management, perhaps there is some interest in commercializing your product (or idea) within RMS / RiverCAD product. We have done this quite a bit with our user's suggestions. This is how we can make RMS / RiverCAD a cutting edge product.

Well, I cannot tell how to open the .Oxx files but please let me know if you find a way.
