Subject: InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM Import and Export of HEC-RAS Geometry Data


InfoSWMM v11 and H2OMAP SWMM v10 have new import and export features for HEC-RAS interaction.   The echange commands are in the exchange menu (Table 1) and you can import HEC-RAS geometry files (Figure 1), edit imported Transect Data (Figure 2 and 3) and export the data back to a HEC-RAS geometry file (Figure 4 and 5 and Table 2).

Figure 2.   The imported Transects can be viewed and edited in the Operations Tab  of the InfoSWMM Browser.

 

 

Figure 3.   The imported Transects can be used as a SWMM 5 Irregular Channel Transect.

 

 

 

Figure 4.   Export HEC-RAS command exports a geometry file containing the active Transects in InfoSWMM.

 

 

Figure 5.   Export HEC-RAS allows you to choose a directory and a name for the exported geometry file.
