Lates to import/export HEC-RAS file, CAD drawings, Visualize the HEC-RAS modeling, analysis, and see results. moreover, they have very supportive technical staffs who have rendered their technical support when ever I contacted them. > > **Cons**: No, I don't remember for the time being. I like most of the features. > > I use the software almost daily in my current work experience to manage floodplain analysis projects. The software result is accepted by our clients, city, and regulatory bodies (like TRCA, LSRCA, CLOCA, etc). The floodplain analysis results were used to generate a regulatory floodplain map, cut/fill balance volume calculations, and report writings. ----- ### "CivilGeo's GeoHECRAS Program Review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 December 2022* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing I like most is the ease of building a HEC-RAS model from scratch. Shapefiles, terrain DEMs and LandXMLs, World Imagery, CAD files, and Federal data layers can all be brought in and shown in one software to give you every detail of the project area to consider while building the model. Being able to assign points and polylines from different data sources to create stream centerlines, cross sections cutlines, reach lengths, ineffective flow areas, n-values, bank stations, road crossings, etc. Modelling an existing culvert crossing is easy to pick locations off of plan view with survey CAD files right where it needs to be in the model, and a proposed land plan encroachment into the floodplain is easy to incorporate into cross sections through extracting geometry points from a LandXML. Mapping floodplains is also the programs best feature as it can map multiple storm events for multiple reaches using a defined terrain or the top widths from the cross sections. Both floodplain types help us make sure the model outputs are reflected correctly for LOMRs. For someone with a GIS background, not CAD, terrain functions are added tools including generating terrains from the HEC-RAS model, stamping proposed encroachments or cuts into an existing terrain, and also a tool that lets you see the elevation profile of any polyline for any type of terrain data on the fly. Floodplain encroachments for Floodway mapping is a breeze using the tolerance options \& the dynamic output summary. > > **Cons**: Editing shapefile polylines/gons is still much easier to do in GIS with access to more tool options. Running HEC-RAS within the software is not my favorite as multiple windows pop up and steal your mouse. The flow file table is transposed from normal HEC-RAS, which takes time to enter flow data for every reach when flows are updated. > > I know for me, (and probably most of the people on my team) would be much less productive if we were doing what we are doing without GeoHECRAS. The user friendliness of the program makes it easy to train new hires not only to know how the program works, but understand the concepts and methods of the work we do. CivilGeo has the best customer service of any company i have ever had to deal with even outside of work. ----- ### "Good software with great customer service" — 4.0/5 > **Cole** | *8 April 2022* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of importing and exporting data from CAD to GEO HECRAS. > > **Cons**: The lack of publishing and printing options available. > > Overall experience has been really good with the software and the customer support is fantastic. ----- ### "GeoHECRAS is the BEST" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *24 May 2019* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the ease of use and fast productivity. I can set up a model from scratch and determine flood elevations in 4 hours. That requires selecting the orthophoto and importing a CAD file to use as a background, importing contours (or LIDAR), turning them into a DTM (which it does very fast), drawing the reach centerline, cutting cross sections, inserting a crossing (if needed), turning on FEMA flood data (FIRM info), determine base flows using USGS Stream Stats inside the software (faster than using a web browser), and I have base flood elevations and floodplain mapping in 4 hours\! Technical Support is the best ever\! They are always quick to reply to questions with a call. They call periodically to make sure all is well with the software. They provide updated software regularly that makes its use easier. > > **Cons**: I have no complaints. If I ever have a need, they take care of it quickly. They are a pleasure to work with to solve any issues. > > I do quick studies, where FEMA mapping does not exist, to determine how much of a property is developable for potential developers. I size stream crossings for FEMA “No-Rise” situations. I analyze FEMA floodways where they would be impacted by crossings I size using the software. Mapping is updated by the click of a button for any changes. ----- ### "Easy, Smart and more interactive" — 4.0/5 > **Keyur** | *9 September 2022* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: GeoHECRAS is more user friendly and enable users to add in more base layers including CAD files, Terrain files etc. Moreover, there are online data library available to setup the model. The interactive interface is very much useful in every step from model generation to preparing the final results. There are different analysis methods built-in with the software and helps to generate more accurate simulation and design analysis. > > **Cons**: Since, it is more interactive with AutoCAD and other data files. It takes more time to load and to run the simulation but still performance well. > > Overall, the software performs well to generate flood extents and other 1D 2D hydraulic simulation for the projects I have worked on. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/179208/geohecras?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/179208/geohecras) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pl | | ----- ## Structured Data
