ArcHydro in ArcGIS 10

[LaurenLaPort]

Hi
Has anyone upgraded to ArcGIS 10 and installed/used ArcHydro with it?

Hi Alvan

Firstly are you using the latest version of ArcHydro 2.0.1.133 You can download it from ESRI's ftp server ftp.esri.com UserName: RiverHydraulics Password: river.1114. Second suggestion is that you download Service Pack 3. I've been using ArcGIS 10 SP3 with ArcHydro 2.0.1.133 and no hassels.

Regards

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has replied to this thread.

I also want to confirm that I was able to install ArcHydro for my ArcGIS 10, having first installed the ArcGIS Service Pack 3. I'm using Windows 7 and it installed smoothly, however, instead of getting ArcHydro from the ESRI ftp, I used this link:http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/hec-georas_downloads.html

@souris_boo,

Covered in this open thread, sticky at the top of the forum...

Tom, 

Simply put it is not ESRI's decision. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineering, Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) is not a commercial entity and their development work on all HEC related H&H software is not bound by business considerations--rather operational and configuration management tied to the needs to the Corps of Engineers.  

ArcHydro and the Water Resources Application Framework development, including HEC-GeoRAS/GeoHMS is a collaborative effort on the part of U.S. Governmental, Educational and ESRI Professional services. It continues apace with the needs and requirements of each participant. ESRI has proceeded with development of an ArcGIS 10 ArcHydro extension because it does make business sense. The HEC on the other hand does not yet require an ArcGIS 10 capability at this stage of the HEC-RAS and HEC-HMS projects. The ArcGIS 9.2/9.3 compliant GeoRAS 4.3/GeoHMS 4.2 and GeoHMS 5.0 developmental versions of the software are being maintained by this effort. 

ESRI is not the purveyor of HEC-GeoRAS/HEC-GeoHMS, simply a collaborative partner in its development. ESRI hosts, as a public service, access the "  developmental" versions of the software. The HEC retains distribution and management of the "  official" versions and provides configuration management and technical support for their internal USACE offices. 

I'd note that in reality, in an academic, corporate or governmental setting it is a simple matter to maintain ArcGIS 9.x and desired HEC GeoRAS or GeoHMS functionality by retaining seats of ArcGIS 9. ESRI's licensing structure facilitates this and their track record suggests they will continue to support prior versions indefinitely. 

There are other commercial purveyors of preprocessors for the HEC RAS/HMS modeling systems, Aquaveo for example, that have implemented ArcGIS 10 capable versions of their software. A route the HEC has no operational need to pursue--yet.

I like the links and complete details. I'll follow the article strategy and will share this to friends.

I am also waiting for the reviews to come to upgrade to upgraded to ArcGIS 10 as this caused many issues to my system last time. When I contacted the technical team none offered me proper help, then I had to format the whole system. I just don't want such issues to happen again.
