The version of HEC-1 distributed with WMS can be run directly from WMS by using the Run HEC-1 command in the HEC-1 menu. Before running an HEC-1 simulation, users should run the model checker which will help identify serious and potential problems that should be corrected before a successful run of HEC-1 can be made.

The Run HEC-1 command will bring up a dialog allowing usersto specify three files which are necessary to run HEC-1. The first file is the HEC-1 input file. The second is an ASCII output file generated by HEC-1 and can be used to extract specific results values. It also contains important information which can be used to correct problems encountered when running HEC-1. The third file is a new name for the TAPE22 file, and will contain hydrograph results for basins and outlets. A user can view these results by reading this file with the Open command from the Hydrographs menu.

Once these files have been defined and selecting OK, HEC-1 will be executed. A separate window will appear and information about the HEC-1 simulation will be reported.

If HEC-1 is not executed successively when issuing this command then for PC computers be sure that the path to the HEC1.EXE file is included in AUTOEXEC.BAT.

If HEC-1 does not run to a successful completion, users can view the ASCII output file using the View File command in the File menu.
