Import GIS Files

WMS communicates the processed geometric data to HEC-RAS through the same GIS file that is used by the ArcView® Geo-RAS program. This file does not contain a complete model definition for a HEC-RAS project, but it does contain the river reach, cross section, and other important geometric components.

When importing the GIS file (this could be a file created by the Geo-RAS extension for ArcView®) a 1D-Hydraulic Centerline coverage, and 1D Cross Section Coverage will be created along with a new database where the cross section geometry is stored. As part of the Import GIS File command, you will be asked for a file name to save the cross section database to.
