Convert C-51 Basin Rule Reevaluation HEC-RAS Model to MIKE11        

Client: South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) 
Year: 2014
​
About: 
The district contracted LAGO to convert a 100-yr, 72-hr event HEC-RAS model of the C-51 Basin into a MIKE11 model.  The MIKE11 model will consider all the features in the HEC-RAS model in order to demonstrate and evaluate the applicability of the MIKE11 model in the C-51 basin.​

Specifics:
DHI distributes a conversion tool from HEC-RAS to MIKE11 that is unsupported and not updated. That tool did not work for converting the C51 HEC-RAS model. LAGO successfully converted the C-51 basin HEC-RAS model to MIKE11, and in the process, developed a new conversion tool (named HEC-RAS to MIKE 11) in order to extract the information in the geometry file from a HEC-RAS model and build the corresponding MIKE11 files. This conversion tool is available as part of the​ LAGO Toolbox.

Applied Skills:

• Customized software: file format converter 
• H&H Modeling: Model Conversion​​

Consulting Areas:

• H&H

Software Applied:

• HEC-RAS
• MIKE11
• LAGO Toolbox
• ​ArcMap

Outcome:
The corresponding MIKE 11 model was successfully created. The comparison of the results from both models show relatively good agreement, considering that the modeling algorithms in HEC-RAS and MIKE11 are not completely equivalent
