Congratulations on completing the cHECk-RAS 2.0.1 Tutorial Overview section! Here is a summary of what we have learned thus far:
- cHECk-RAS 2.0.1 is a program that was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to allow users to check the validity of input and output data in HEC-RAS.
- cHECk-RAS only flags areas of potential error or concern, and the user must determine if modifications to the HEC-RAS model are warranted.
- cHECk-RAS checking programs cover the following five areas:
- The NT Check: evaluates Manning's n and Transition loss coefficent values.
- The XS Check: evaluates cross section placing, flow regimes, as well as ineffective flow area modeling.
- The Floodway Check: evaluates floodway method, and flow regimes within floodway for open channel and bridge sections and surcharge.
- The Structure Check: evaluates type of flow, structure coefficients, approach section, roadway/weir, and expansion section data and placement, and ineffective flow.
- The Profiles Check: evaluates the starting water-surface elevation methods, and compares water-surface elevations and top widths for selected profiles.
- The major updates included with the cHECk-RAS Version 2.0.1 release.
