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?

Civil Engineer E.I. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/25/2026 "Powerful Flood Analysis Tools and Responsive Support" 4/5 What do you like best about GeoHECRAS? GeoHECRAS is user-friendly and comes with solid resources. I’ve reached out to their customer support multiple times, and they’ve been very responsive and helpful. They also scheduled an hour-long session to walk me through how to get started the first time I used it. Some highlight features include “Download DEM Data” as the downloaded surfaces maintain good quality, "Scenario Manager" which allows for easy comparison of different scenarios in the same project, and automated features such as assigning reaches and cross-sections are fast and accurate. Lastly, it's very convenient to import/export data between Civil3D and GeoHECRAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GeoHECRAS? The main downside with GeoHECRAS is that it can get glitchy toward the end of a project, especially once it’s holding a lot of data. I also find it hard to adjust linework, such as cross-sections, after the analysis has been run, because they end up with multiple points that don’t move together smoothly. Overall, the software is automated and quick to set up, but if revisions are needed, they can be time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GeoHECRAS solving and how is that benefiting you? I mainly use GeoHECRAS for flood analysis on creeks to determine the water-surface elevation. The software is especially helpful during design phases, because I can easily import a couple of surfaces and compare the resulting impacts. So far, I’ve completed one large flood analysis along with a few smaller water-elevation checks. I also appreciate that it provides multiple options for exporting results and reports, depending on what information I need to share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
