Advanced 2D HEC-RAS (Spring 2026- Online)
Each Wednesday from 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM (PST), March 4 to April 8, 2026.
Our Advanced 2D HEC-RAS is the second of our two-part HEC-RAS 2D learning series. The Advanced 2D HEC-RAS class is designed for already competent HEC-RAS 2D users that want to take their modeling skills to the next level and/or those who have completed our Fundamentals of HEC-RAS course. This course builds off of our Fundamentals of HEC-RAS 2D course which students can register for separately or as part of a discounted two class package.
Join us for six 4-hour lecture sessions with hands on workshops completed during the week. Learn more about the content of this class under Additional Info or in the “Course Coverage” table below. Classes are recorded for those who miss the live sessions.

Advanced 2D HEC-RAS
This intensive 6-week workshop will instruct students on the advanced applications of HEC-RAS for two-dimensional hydraulic modeling and is designed for competent users of the HEC-RAS software or those who have completed our Fundamentals of HEC-RAS course. The course will include a deep dive into the advanced features of RAS Mapper, instruction on building both 2D and combined 1D & 2D models, discussion on 2D flow theory, advanced troubleshooting and calibration methods, and will cover a variety of additional advanced 2D model applications. The use of the model is taught through hands-on exercises and real-world project examples.
Topics
The seminar includes lectures on:
· Review of HEC-RAS 2D
· Advanced RAS Mapper
· Advanced 2D Bridge Modeling
· Spatial Precipitation (Rain-on-grid) modeling with HEC-RAS
· Dam and Levee Breach Analysis
· Advanced Computation Options
· Turbulence and Wind Modeling
· 2D Floodway Modeling
· Advanced Initial Conditions Modeling
· Advanced Troubleshooting and Calibration
· RAS2025
Workshops
Workshops focus on giving students hands on experience with building and pre-processing the computational mesh, performing offline and inline 2D projects, and using the built-in feature RAS Mapper to spatially analyze results. The 5 workshops included in this class are:
· Advanced 2D Bridge Modeling
· Advanced River Restoration
· Rain on Grid & Dam Breach Analysis
· Levee Breach Analysis.
· Intro to RAS2025
Who Should Attend
Consulting engineers, water resource planners and scientists, engineers employed by local, state, or federal government agencies. Participants should have some experience in floodplain hydrology and hydraulics, and open channel flow concepts. They should also be able to follow simple computer instructions.
