HEC-RAS provides the option of viewing results in sediment rating curves and profile plots. The rating curve plot presents the sediment transport capacity vs. the river discharge and can be plotted for one or more cross sections. The profile plot presents the sediment transport capacity along the stream length for one or more sediment reaches.

Both types of plots allow have a number of dropdown boxes that allow the user to specify what is required for plotting. For example, by default, the total sediment transport rate is given for each cross section when a plot is opened. However, the user can view just the sediment transport of a single grain size or can compare sediment transport capacities of two or more grain sizes. Additionally, the user has the ability to view the overbanks and main channel separately as well as each transport function.
