The location listed in the Model Linking Editor for HEC-RAS inputs will be the river station and node name of the boundary condition location. Typically, your HEC-RAS model will not have node names configured and the location will display the river station. To configure node names, complete the following:

  1. Open HEC-RAS from the CAVI toolbar.
  2. Open the geometry editor (Edit > Geometric Data) from the HECRAS toolbar.
  3. Open the Node Name Table (Figure 1) using the Tables > Names > Node Names menu item in the Geometric Data editor.

  4. Specify name for each river station with a boundary condition in the Node Name column. Hint: it may be useful to open the boundary condition editor to correlate river stations, node names, and boundary condition locations.
