This course offers a hands-on introduction to pipe network modelling in HEC-RAS. Participants will work with a pre-built 2D overland flow model as the foundation for their workshop exercise. During the sessions, participants will construct a subsurface pipe network, assigning geometric and geospatial attributes to nodes and conduits.


The course covers essential techniques for importing data and selecting appropriate modelling parameters for pipe networks. Upon completing the exercise, participants will learn how to interpret and troubleshoot model results effectively.

Additionally, the course includes resources for those interested in exploring the new meshing options available in HEC-RAS 2025.

Ideal for engineers, water modellers, and professionals with a working knowledge of HEC-RAS seeking to enhance their expertise in HEC-RAS, this course delivers practical skills and insights to elevate your modelling capabilities.
