Tasks like merging DEMs, generating elevation profiles, or building HEC-RAS floodplain surfaces are completed in half the time. The software integrates LiDAR surveying data, NLCD Land Cover data, and FEMA Flood maps directly into AutoCAD, MicroStation, or ArcGIS workflows. GeoHECRAS is used for river modeling, 1D and 2D hydraulic modeling, dam breach analysis, and HEC-RAS bridge modeling, along with complex floodplain encroachment studies—all with built-in reporting and reduced external GIS dependency. * * * Product Website GeoHECRAS Seller [CivilGEO, Inc.](https://www.g2.com/sellers/civilgeo-inc) Discussions [GeoHECRAS Community](https://www.g2.com/products/geohecras/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Chris Maeder (Engineering Director at CivilGEO Engineering Software) Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Perceived Cost $$$$$ [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/geohecras/pricing) ## GeoHECRAS Integrations (7) What do users say about integrations?

For me, GeoHECRAS mainly makes HEC-RAS more user-friendly. This is chiefly done by making data entry more intuitive with the "Assign Entities" tool series. Basically, the workflow is you build a georeferenced model (DEM, cross-sections, structures, etc.), take a picture of it (distances, slopes, etc. are calculated automatically), and feed that into HEC-RAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GeoHECRAS? The HEC-RAS engine runs more slowly on GeoHECRAS. This isn't a problem with relatively simple 1D models. For more complex, unsteady flow models, run times can increase dramatically compared to standard HEC-RAS. Also, we will have to see with the release of HEC-RAS 2025, if GeoHECRAS can remain sufficiently relevant to warrant the license costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GeoHECRAS solving and how is that benefiting you? Helps with the workflow of building and analyzing a hydraulic model. Flattens the learning curve for young Engineers compared to standard HECRAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bridge Hydraulic Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/12/2024 "GeoHECRAS Software Review" 5/5 What do you like best about GeoHECRAS? 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. What do you dislike about GeoHECRAS? 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.

GeoHECRAS has a few key features that make a stream modeling workflow more efficient. To start, they have round-the-clock support for designers using the software. This is guaranteed in the deal. Tasks like georeferencing, adding cross sections, and adjusting geometry becomes easier with the click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GeoHECRAS? The only problem I've had with GeoHECRAS is the processing power it takes to load a model. Some of our projects are so large that the takes almost 10 minutes to display and allow the designer to work in the file. This is not a huge issue, but it is notable when I want to simply make a quick change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GeoHECRAS solving and how is that benefiting you? GeoHECRAS solves the issue of improting geometry to a river model. As many civil water resources engineers understand, the only other option for river modeling is the standard HEC-RAS software developed by the Army Corps of Engineers. HEC-RAS standard doesn't have support, and the user interface is confusing and takes a long time to learn. Now, with GeoHECRAS, we can have a new designer learn river modeling in a more comprehensive and understandable way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
