SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual work of navigating complex HDF files to extract hydraulic simulation results, saving hours of data wrangling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Data Extraction: Pull water surface elevations, depths, velocities, and flows from both steady and unsteady simulations.
  • Use Case: Imagine you need to analyze flood depths across 500 cross sections. Use this Skill to automatically extract maximum water surface elevations for your entire model domain.

Quick Start

Extract the maximum water surface elevation from plan "01" for the "Water Surface" variable.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract water surface elevation and velocity data from HEC-RAS HDF result files?

Extract water surface elevation and velocity data from HEC-RAS HDF files by using this Skill to automatically pull hydraulic variables from steady and unsteady simulations. It retrieves depths, flows, and time-series results across cross sections and 2D mesh domains without manual HDF navigation.

Can I extract maximum envelope results and dam breach data from HEC-RAS outputs?

Yes. This Skill extracts maximum envelopes and dam breach results alongside standard cross-section and 2D mesh data from HEC-RAS HDF outputs, supporting both steady and unsteady simulation types for complete hydraulic analysis.

What hydraulic variables can I pull from HEC-RAS steady and unsteady simulations?

Extract water surface elevations, depths, velocities, and flows from HEC-RAS steady and unsteady simulations. The Skill handles 1D cross-section time series, 2D mesh results, maximum envelopes, and dam breach outputs for post-processing and analysis.

How do I automate the extraction of flood depth data across multiple HEC-RAS cross sections?

Automate extraction of flood depths across cross sections by specifying the plan name and variable type, then retrieving maximum water surface elevations for your entire model domain. This eliminates manual data wrangling from complex HDF files.

Does this approach work with both 1D and 2D HEC-RAS model results?

Yes. This Skill extracts results from both 1D cross-section data and 2D mesh outputs, supporting time-series and maximum envelope calculations across steady and unsteady HEC-RAS simulations.

What do I need before using HEC-RAS result extraction for hydraulic analysis?

You need completed HEC-RAS simulation output files in HDF format. The Skill processes these directly to extract hydraulic variables, enabling analysis and post-processing without requiring manual HDF file navigation or specialized parsing tools.
