Import an HEC-RAS Model

Next, import the HEC-RAS Russian River model.

Important: The HEC-RAS import does not include copying external files, such as terrain files and HEC-DSS files containing boundary conditions, to the "ras" folder within the HEC-WAT study directory. The user will need to determine how to manage these files, including whether to make them local to the HEC-WAT study directory in order to easily copy the study from one computer to another.

1. From the HEC-WAT main window, from the File menu, point to Import, and click RAS.
