HEC-GeoRAS Beta for ArcGIS 10.2

AmitSinha — Mon, 27 Jan 2014 18:41:33 GMT

A new HEC-GeoRAS build for ArcGIS 10.2 is available at
https://mft.esri.com/incoming/HECGeoRAS/Setup10.2_Beta/10.2.0.2/

I tested this out using a dataset near Sacramento (Baxter), and all tools checked out fine. I was able to export GeoRAS data, import to RAS, and then import RAS results into HEC-GeoRAS. A few things you should consider:

�?� If you are using a personal geodatabase, make sure that you upgrade it to the current version of ArcGIS 10.2, otherwise you may get a failure while exporting GeoRAS data.
�?� The geodatabase should not contain raster datasets within it even though it is permitted. I have heard of export failure associated with it.
�?� File geodatabase format is recommended, but personal geodatabase should work fine as well.

You can log using the following credential:

password: ADSRiver.2013b

Let me know if have problems installing and running the application.

Hi Amit,

Is this link still running? I am unable to successfully log into the FTP. I am using the username and password provided, however, I get a critical error saying 'Authentication Failed' and then 'Could not connect to server'....Please advise if this download is still available.

Thanks.

Mike,

Try again, just verified site is up an functional with the new credentials (wef. 11 March 2014) as found here: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/104391-New-password-for-Arc-Hydro-ftp-site-March-11-2014?p=372117&viewfull=1#post372117

Note though that incomming folder has been renamed camp. So the /incoming/HECGeoRAS/Setup10.2_Beta/10.2.0.2/ has become /camp/HECGeoRAS/Setup10.2_Beta/10.2.0.2

Sara Rastgou‌

The MFT site has current build -- HECGeoRAS 10.2.0.10 beta. Instructions for access are in this post -- https://community.esri.com/message/402547#402547 and then navigate to /camp/HECGeoRAS/Setup10.2_Beta directory.

An alternative http based download is here downloads /archydro/HecGeoRAS/10.2/

but this site is not kept as current (at present the HECGeoRAS builds posted are the same).

Hi.

Thanks for posting the download link. I have downloaded and installed the HEC GeoRAS.

I was able to convert the sdf to xml and do the layer set up. The import RAS data keep giving error as shown below. Please what am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I had almost the same error (I downloaded the software from http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-georas/downloads.aspx, not beta anymore).

@Mikko,

Not sure it is root of your issue, but it is still a better bet to use the Esri Water Resources Group MFT (sftp) community repository for the current installers rather than the HEC downloads which tend to be un-patched.

The USACE HEC -- project site is currently posting an older HEC GeoRAS build, 10.2.0.2 with ApFramework 10.2.0.7, built 2013-12-20

The Esri MFT site currently posts HEC GeoRAS build 10.2.0.10 with ApFramework 10.2.0.16, built 2014-06-05

Review the readme.doc file posted to the MFT is usually will describe issues addressed with patches and dates released--although it looks a little out of date at the moment ( Christine Dartiguenave ?). Anyhow, you'll need to pay attention to the ApFramework if you have other Water Resource Group projects like ArcHydro installed.

Hi Stuart

Currently I am using ArcGIS 10.1 and HecGeoRAS 10.1 and want to upgrade to ArcGIS 10.2.2 . Just wondering if HEC GEORAS 10.2.0.10 works with ArcGIS 10.2.2.

Bshihwa,

I had no issues moving systems to Desktop 10.2.2 and current HEC GeoRAS builds,

But, you would have fewer issues if you completely remove HEC GeoRAS, along with any other extensions to ArcGIS for Desktop, followed by a full uninstall of ArcGIS for Desktop, and finally clear your per-user profile and the Windows registry. E.g. get to a point where there is no Esri product on your system. And only then start with a clean ArcGIS for Desktop installation.

Hi Stuart

Thanks a lot for your prompt response and advice. If I understood correctly, I need to uninstall previous Hec Georas, archydro, hec hms etc first and then after uninstalling arcgis 10.1 I should install fresh arcgis 10.2.2. After that Hec Georas 10.2.0.10 to get rid of issues.

Regards

Bishwa

Bishwa,

Your HEC RAS, or HEC HMS if installed, can remain. But the HEC GeoRAS preprocessor (and other Esri ApFramework based utilities, like ArcHydro Tools) will need to be uninstalled prior to the ArcGIS for Desktop install. It will then be replaced with a current build.

Doing it this way (removal of everything ArcGIS related) prevents issues during installation and setup.

Hi,

I was wondering if you had tried this for 10.3 version. I am trying to get started working with HEC, but am not able to download the software with the new version of Arc.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Best,
Jessie

Hi,

I was wondering if you had any advice for using HEC with 10.3? I am just getting familiar with the software and wanted to incorporate it into my analysis but don't think the installer recognizes my version of 10.3.

Any advice is appreciated!

Best,
Jessie
