This link includes a document of "Known Issues" found in version 5.0.6 of HEC-RAS to
date. The
Please
look closely at this document, as there as a few issues that are potential
computational problems. Specifically
issues 1, 2, 5, and 7. Please review
these issues closely. If you have any of
these situations use the suggested work around, or solution to get past the
issue. Everyone should look at issue 1
and 2, as they are possible in many models.
Sorry
for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Keep letting us know if you find other problems with the software.

Are these bugs in 5.0.6 only, or would they affect 5.0.5 models as well?
ReplyDeleteAre these bugs in 5.0.6 only, or would they affect 5.0.5 models as well?
ReplyDeleteI think most are in both, but #7 especially is a bug in 5.0.6 but not 5.0.5. I would try in both if you're not sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your response!
DeleteA possible work around for the uniform lateral inflow is to determine what percentage of the reach is between bounding XS of structures and use that to determin a multiplier to apply to the hydrograph. You should probably have that noted in obvious locations in the model so the next user knows to remove those when model is ran in a version that has the bug fix.

I'm cautiously optimistic for a 5.0.7 bug fix version since many of these have the "This issue was fixed for the next HEC-RAS release" disclaimer.
ReplyDeleteOne new feature in 5.0.6 that a coworker showed me was the "Clip Weir Profile to 2D Cells" button for a 2D connection in order to ensure that your weir profile is always higher than the adjacent cells' minimum elevations. That'll save a lot of time and tedious effort.
I am glad they finally added the Clip Weir Profile to 2D Cells. It always drove me crazy having to do fix that.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both Cameron!
DeleteIt seems there has been another bug when copy the project and open it in another PC, all defined levees, ineffective flow areas and block obstructions are gone, and disappeared in XS Editor. Although they are still stored in Table in Geometric Editor, RAS simply ignores all these settings in its calculations
