Meeting/Event Information

NORFMA is hosting a virtual HEC-RAS 2D workshop April 14-16! WEST Consultants, Inc. will be teaching this course on the use of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center’s (HEC) River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). WEST’s hands-on workshop provides practical training in two-dimensional modeling. Participants gain intensive experience constructing two-dimensional models and understanding the modeling framework. This hands-on experience also highlights methods in which the one-dimensional components of HEC-RAS can be connected to two-dimensional meshes. Lectures on 2D flow theory, an introduction to the new capabilities and features of HEC-RAS, and procedures for creating a stable and calibrated 2D model will be covered in addition to 2D “no-rise” analyses and floodway modeling. The workshop will focus on giving students experience with building and pre-processing the computational mesh, performing offline and inline 2D projects, and using the built-in feature RAS Mapper to spatially analyze results. The course also provides a solid foundation and key considerations for students who review 2D models. 

Please be aware that this workshop is limited to 25 students and that students will need to have HEC-RAS Version 6.6 software already loaded on their computers.  At least two screens are highly recommended to accommodate the virtual course and learning activities.  

*A minimum of 15 students is needed to hold the class.  Please sign up at your earliest convenience!

Registration deadline: March 20th. 

$650 for NORFMA members; $700 for non-members. 

Digital course materials and virtual login details will be provided the week before class begins.
