RiverCAD and HEC-RAS
RiverCAD and HEC-RAS
(OP)
I am considering using RiverCAD to provide a CAD interface with HEC-RAS. Has anyone out there had experience with this software and have any general comments or opinions on it? Or suggestions for other tools that do the same sort of thing?

For the price you can't beat it especially since you get lifetime support on the product.
Geo-RAS is better only if you are using GIS software. If you are in a AutoCAD environment RiverCAD is great!
Hope that helps.

It is not extremely easy to use, because of some few minor bugs, however it is powerful.
We have just tested RIVER CAD last week.
I confirm Colin's opinion :
- if you already use ARC GIS please go for HEC GEO-RAS ( it's free ) in one-two days you'll learn how to use it
- if you should buy ARC-GIS ( and learn to use it .... ) please go for RIVER CAD in the AUTOCAD environment. One engineer of ours, who never used ARC-GIS before, spent ten days just to learn how to use both software before starting working.
