There are three different types of profiles that cHECk-RAS will analyze:
- Single Profile
- Floodway Profile
- Multiple Profile
cHECk-RAS performs different checks depending upon the selected profile.
For specific information on each of these checks, refer to Section 3 "Program Description" of the User Guide:
- After extracting the data from the latest plan of the HEC-RAS project (.prj) file, the 'Profiles' section of the interface window will display the list of profiles available.
- In order to assign the frequency to the profiles, name the profiles "1%" or "100-yr," "0.2%" or "500-yr," and "FW" for the floodway profile, instead of "prof1", "prof2", etc. when creating the HEC-RAS flow file.
To rename profiles in HEC-RAS, navigate to 'Edit > Steady Flow Data > File > Rename Flow Title.'
- The screenshot illustrates the best practice of naming your profiles with its associated flood frequency.
- Re-run the project plan in HEC-RAS.
