<title>Predict flow through pump before switching on</title>
<description><![CDATA[First of all, is this possible?
I think it HAS to be possible.
My problem is the following:
When I turn on a pump, I want to know what flow will go through it shortly after switching it on.

What I do is:
I look at the head at the pump's discharge junction. In the pump curve with this head value I can see and predict the flow through the pump.
This works VERY accurate for small networks (~10 junctions, pipe length ~1000 ft)

In bigger networks (in particular Net3.net) this is not working. With my method I get a predicted value of ~12000, where I measure a flow of ~14100 after switching on the pump. This is not acceptable for my application.

Can anybody tell me what I am missing in my method ("What I do is:") that I causing the flow prediction of bigger networks not to work out properly?

ps: I use variable speed pumps and transform their pump curves like in the epanet manual, BUT my mentioned Net3-example is for switching the pump from speed level 0 to speel level 1. So as if I just switch on a fixed speed pump.

Thanks for ANY ideas. Really would appreciate the help!

edit: I am using EPANET via the toolkit through a C++ program and I simulate the hydraulics in steps of 1 minute. So "shortly after switching on" is maximum of one minute after switching on.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[my first guess would be to check the downstream length in each cross section.

maybe there is a problem with the auto-adjustment of dowstream lengths?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Now my network work fine !
I did some modifications to the regional settings in my windows seven system.
I'm not sure but i think it's the solution for all french HECRAS users.
Yannb : you have to install both french and english regional settings and setup your regional settings (specifically the date format MM/dd/yyyy).
Tell me if it work and if not you can contact me directly at [email]sgaiji@yahoo.fr[/email].
We will find together the "bug" ... A ton service quand tu veux !  ;)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have the same problem.. i was trying to model the upstream condition as a storage area and the same error arises.

when i try to run stephane's file i get the same error he does during the post process.

note: i also use a french operating system. 

i guess i'll model my reservoirs as sections rather than storage area for dambreaks!

edit: i just tried to run the example for dambreak provided with hec-ras and it yields the same error]]></description>

<title>HEC-Georas for ArcGIS 9.3</title>
<description><![CDATA[Hi,
Ever since I upgraded to Hec-Georas 4.2.92 for ArcGIS 9.3 i have the following errors while trying to export data:
1) When running the Elevation tool in Stream Centerline Attribute Tools or XS Cutline Attribute : Error 91 "object variable or with block variable not set".
2) When trying to export RAS data:
- classic export works but once import in HEC-RAS 4.1, when trying to view the cross sections, it says no data plot
- new export method does not work at all: C 
:\Program Files\HEC\HEC-GeoRAS\bin\NewRasControl.xml does not exist!
I would appreciate some help.]]></description>

<title>Cross Section Alignment and transient modelling</title>
<description><![CDATA[1: 
I created a model in Hec Ras 3 which aligned with the picture I had loaded in. I recently switched to HECRAS 4 which has now skewed all my cross sections so they aren't perpendicular to the alignment any more. I haven't changed my skew or downstream reach lengths. Does anyone know what might have caused this or what I can do to fix it? 

2: 
My model involves ramping rates of an upstream boundary condition (Power station). When I do my transient analysis, the calculation runs fine. But the data doesn't show up anywhere, all I can see is the results of the various profiles I ran for steady state analysis. When I go to the animations, The program shows all the diferent steady state profiles instead of the transient case.

Any help would be a god send!]]></description>

You can not have special characters is directory pathnames or file names (you have a special character in your pathnanme - "...Documents/joão/GIS/...").  This is an issue on the HEC-HMS known problems page.  Try saving the project to a directory that has no special characters in the pathname.

<title>Cross Section Interpolation problem</title>
<description><![CDATA[Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me with this interpolation problem I have discovered in hec-ras.

After I interpolate the corss sections, they appear in the geometry data page just how I want them.

However, after I go into the channel design/modification page and insert new templates into the template column and click the "Create a Geometry File with these Modifications," and click ok, and I go back to the geometry data page, the interpolations seem to have moved down the river and get pushed closer together too.  The 3-D image verifies that that corss sections have moved.  Also, it is only the interpolated cross sections that have moved, not the original ones.  I am attaching a picture that show what the cross sections look like after I hit the "Create a Geometry File with these Modifications" button.  You can see how the cross sections are bunched together when they should be spread out evenly.

So, I am just wondering if I am doing something wrong, and if I am, how can I fix this problem?

Thanks so much]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello,

I am trying to develop a ResSim model to determine reservoir sizing. When trying to run a simulation, the maximum time step model allows me to use is 1 DAY. Can we run the model at 1 MONTH time step?

I know that we could run the model with monthly time step in HEC-5 but I can not seem to find it in ResSim. 

In the reservoir editor ->Operations Decision -> there is an allowance for 1 month time setp. But I believe this is only for operations decision.

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
