GeoHECRAS Reviews & Product Details

As a graduate student working on flood modeling, I like GeoHECRAS because it makes hydraulic modeling more efficient and practical. Its integration of GIS data, terrain information, and HEC-RAS modeling tools helps streamline the workflow and makes it easier to set up and analyze flood scenarios. I also appreciate its user-friendly interface and visualization capabilities, which are very helpful for research and understanding flood behavior under different conditions.

Overall, I had a positive experience with GeoHECRAS. Some modeling tasks can still require extra time to adjust terrain data, check model inputs, and troubleshoot results. Improving the flexibility of these workflows and providing more guidance for new users would make the software even better, especially for students and researchers working on complex flood modeling projects.

In GeoHECRAS, there are many features that make it easy to obtain the information required for most standards. When you have a question or trying to understand the features that are implemented, the program have a question mark that will direct you to their Knowledge website that will give you a brief description on what the function is used for. If you still have questions about the program or any issues, the engineering team is always responsive in reasonable amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only thing recently is when any updates are applied, we need to delete the product and then apply the new version by redownloading it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Create river systems, cut sections, flood line mappings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When cutting sections, the first section number is set at 1000. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the integration of GIS and hydraulic modeling, which makes it much easier to build, edit, visualize, and review HEC-RAS models. The ability to work directly with spatial data, terrain, cross-sections, structures, and flood mapping in one environment significantly improves workflow efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main limitations are the learning curve for some advanced features, occasional issues with model stability or synchronization between GeoHECRAS and HEC-RAS, and limited flexibility for highly customized workflows. Some editing and processing tasks can also be slower than working directly in HEC-RAS, particularly for large or complex models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to georeference older models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much of anything. Just need more experience with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have enjoyed utilizing the 2D modeling capabilities of GeoHECRAS to determine shearing velocities of auxiliary spillways among other uses. I have also used the 2D modeling for stream restoration and scour analyses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a way to plot directly from the software to create quick figures highlighting the excellent modeling in crystal clear resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In continuing to work on projects in GeoHECRAS, the benefits that have come from using this software are apparent. Our clients continue to be impressed with what we're able to accomplish in this software and the way we're able to present results. This software has been a great addition to our office and has expanded our abilities to help our clients with various projects in the most effective way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GeoHECRAS has been a very reliable software for me, and I currently have no recommendations to improve it. I have found that CivilGEO has spent significant time making sure this software as good as possible and it definitely shows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to import CAD files into the Geo-Hec-Ras model is a huge benefit. It allows me to better understand the impacts of water surfaces on my proposed sites. Additionally, being able to create and flood maps and then export them back into CAD has been a great benefit as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really don't have any complaints. The software works great and whenever issues have occurred, the technical support team has been able to help me solve them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CivilGEO provides outstanding customer support as well, with a knowledgeable and responsive team that is readily available whenever users need assistance. Based on my experience, I highly recommend GeoHECRAS to engineers, consultants, and other professionals involved in hydraulic and floodplain modeling. Its ease of use, efficient workflow, and dependable technical support make it an excellent option for producing accurate and efficient floodplain analyses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main problem I've encountered is that after working on a model for several hours, the software becomes noticeably slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you get the hang of the software, it is very intuitive and easy to use. Customer support is readily available, and you always speak with a real person typically over the phone where they look at the problem and walk you through the solution. Updates are easy to move through as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program can be slow for a time especially when working on a large project area and when you have certain boxes open, you are not able to access the map view which can be frustrating but otherwise I have no issues with GeoHECRAS. Any time I have a suggestion, they are quick to evaluate it and respond with a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
