cHECk-RAS allows users to examine a variety of parameters from HEC-RAS data files, as well as generate, view, and print reports. These reports include tables and warning messages about possible inconsistencies in the HEC-RAS input and output.
cHECk-RAS checking programs cover the following five areas:
- The NT Check evaluates roughness (Manning's "n") and transition loss coefficients.
- The XS (Cross-Sections) Check evaluates distances, ineffective flow areas, levees, divided flow, extended cross sections, known water-surface elevation, location of cross sections, placement of discharges, boundary conditions and flow regimes.
- The Floodway Check evaluates the Encroachment method, starting water-surface elevation, floodway widths, surcharge values, floodway discharge, and the floodway at hydraulic structures.
- The Structure Check evaluates distances, type of flow, culvert coefficients, culvert solution criteria, ineffective flow, deck/roadway and ground data, and floodway at the structure.
- The Profiles Check evaluates the starting water-surface elevation methods, compares water-surface elevations between the selected profiles, and top widths for two to six profiles.
