Introduction

This page contains a brief introduction to the methods of converting HEC-RAS model inputs into a format which compatible with TUFLOW. If you have any suggestions to be included in these pages, please email support@tuflow.com.

Model Geometry Conversion (SDF_to_GIS.exe)

The SDF_to_GIS.exe utility converts HEC-RAS geometric data data into TUFLOW compatible GIS and csv input format. The utility outputs include:

  1. Centerline location data in GIS format
  2. Cross-section locations in GIS format
  3. Cross-section data in csv format

The GIS format type can be either *mif or *shp. Options are also available to automatically trim the processed cross-section GIS and csv data to the main channel region between defined levee markers. The HEC-RAS model inputs need to be in SDF format (HEC-RAS export format), and must be geo-referenced using a real world projection.

Input Processing (HEC-RAS)

Example Utility Syntax (SDF_to_GIS.exe)

The utility requires GIS projection information to correctly translate the spatial dataset from SDF format to *mif or *.shp format. This is done by including either a projection or header file in the same folder directory as the SDF file. The utility will use the projection information from this file for the data conversion.

  1. mif output: Projection.mif or Header.mif
  2. shp output: Projection.prf or Header.prj


  • TUFLOW_to_GIS.exe -asc -b -max M01_5m_003_h.dat

    • Description: Convert to a 3D grid ("-asc"), using batch mode ("-b"), converting the maximums ("-max") for the water level results M01_5m_003_h.dat.

    • Convert to a 3D grid at a specific time:
  • TUFLOW_to_GIS.exe -asc -b -t3 M01_5m_003_h.dat

    • Description: As per example 1, except conversion at time 3 hours (-t3) instead of the maximums.

    • Convert HEC-RAS sdf data to mif format, trimming cross-section at levee markers :
  • sdf_to_gis.exe -mif hecras_example.sdf
    • Convert HEC-RAS sdf data to shp format, trimming cross-section at levee markers :
  • sdf_to_gis.exe -shp hecras_example.sdf
    • Convert HEC-RAS sdf data to mif format, not trimming cross-section at levee markers :
  • sdf_to_gis.exe -mif -notrim hecras_example.sdf
    • Convert HEC-RAS sdf data to shp format, not trimming cross-section at levee markers :
  • sdf_to_gis.exe -shp -notrim hecras_example.sdf

    • Utility Output (TUFLOW)
