Requirements
Please bring a laptop pre-loaded with HEC-RAS Version 6.3. The free software can be downloaded here. Please test the program before arriving, and contact us with any installation issues. We recommend having a mouse with a middle wheel button. You are welcome to bring an external monitor if your laptop screen is small.
No prior experience with HEC-RAS or other modelling software is required – we will be building models from scratch. The course content is designed to be challenging to those with prior experience who are just looking to master the new features but not overwhelming for those brand new to HEC-RAS.
