GeoHECRAS Reviews & Product Details

GeoHECRAS is great for modelling drainage areaws and complex floodplains, and the integration of GIS and mapping features make it far more user friendly than HEC-RAS on its own. Being able to import files from Google Earth and CAD also make it super simple to take areas and survey data you already have available and keep them in one place. The program is also super intuitive, with features being located exactly where you'd expect. Our team uses it nearly everyday. When there are crashes or bugs, it is really easy to get help from CivilGeo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a bit of a learning curve to GeoHECRAS, and it does have a tendency to crash from time to time and can have an extremely long boot up time if you make the file too large. Some features are only available to the USA, with no Canadian option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been useful in quickly determining an area of interest for an existing model and making edits to the model. It also greatly reduces the time it takes to create a new model if one does not currently exist. The technical support team has also been helpful when an issue or question regarding the software has come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue I have ever had with the product is that there is with licensing. I use a network license and have had to call techincal support to have them reset the license to allow me to use the program again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GeoHECRAS is easier and quicker to use than HEC-RAS. It does use the HEC-RAS engine which makes it very useful when submitting project to clients who use HEC-RAS. GeoHECRAS also has a neat UI that makes it very easy to navigate though. I use GecHECRAS for all my small projects all the time. Moreover, I can use GeoHECRAS to export and import project and other file from different sources. GeoHECRAS has a 24-hour support technical team that will help you with your projects and any technical issues you are facing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new GeoHECRAS has a few bugs here and there. However, when I spoke to technical support they were able to solve the issue and release an update for the software the very next week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to bring surface from AutoCAD and create terrain, which I can directly use to cut cross sections. Integration with other programs are the big help. Also, it calculates the Bank station distances automatically. That helped me tremendously in creating existing models for fast pace projects. GeoHECRAS can create Water Surface Elevation and Velocity in just one click and the visual effect of that helps explain the client the problem area easier. Great user-friendly software to create HECRAS models in a short amount of time with precise cross sections.

Excellent customer support. Outstanding modeling creation techniques and user-friendly Ribbons to create models.

I can not think of doing any future projects without GeoHECRAS. GeoHECRAS tries to incorporate any additional features that you may think you need for your project, and tries to add them to the future version of GeoHECRAS. Great experience of using GeoHECRAS.

Recently I am using GeoHECRAS on very regular basis as more projects are for creek restoration or a site in or near floodway/floodplain.

Tutorials are helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have a user manual, so I am not looking all over in tutorials to find out where I will find stuff. Offer training like HECRAS offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1- Improved GIS interface and the capability to access online data catalogues like elevation models, soil types and land cover. HEC-RAS engine works as intended and stably in 2D models too.

2- On-demand engineering support and trouble-shooting

3- The fact that its tools work with fewer bugs and gliches comparet to HEC-RAS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1- It is resource-intensive: You need a high-end CPU/GPU to run it smoothly

2- It misses Hydrology! It should be a part of the package and just seems like a void that we try to patch with other tools and software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GeoHECRAS is a great software tool for modeling simple or advanced hydraulic models. I'm a satisfied customer and have used the product for many years. I'm always able to get the job done faster than I could before. The support is top-notch. The support people are especially helpful in helping you resolve any issues in the model or with the software itself.

Now after using the software for several years, I am even more pleased. The continued support is amazing. The support team at Civilgeo has really gone above and beyond the norm. You certainly are not alone when completing simple or complicated modeling projects.

The list of features continues to grow each year. Features and tools that cannot be found anywhere else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software works slightly slower on PC's than HECRAS itself, but the difference is negligible. It offers so many other powerful and useful features which make up for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GeoHECRAS continues to be a great tool for floodplain management. Its ease of creating, designing, and analyzing floodplains is unmatched. The software is very user-friendly and offers numerous extra/additional functions and features. GeoHECRAS is very stable and powerful, and it rarely crashes (if ever). Technical and customer support is top notch when/if needed, with fast, professional, accurate responses and screen sharing to help. The software is import/export compatible with multiple versions of HEC-RAS, CAD, and GIS software. It can display aerial base maps on several different coordinate system options, which simplifies parameter inputs. Mapping large or small floodplains and floodways is simple with the automated tools for generating cross-sections, extracting geometry, assigning parameters, and visually mapping the results. GeoHECRAS saves a lot of time, which of course means it saves a lot of money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly have nothing negative to say about GeoHECRAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
