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.

Geometric 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. Creek centerline location data in GIS format
  2. Cross section locations in GIS format
  3. Cross-section data in csv format

The GIS format typye 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, and must be geo-referenced using a real world projection. SDF format is an HEC-RAS export format.
