Bentley STAAD vs. GeoHECRAS

It is well suited to determining the capacity and flood levels for existing structures and sizing proposed structures based on the existing flood levels. In cases where we do not have sufficient information for proposed developments that need to be included in terrain for modeling, it can be challenging to modify the terrain, however, I think this would be the case for most software.

Incentivized

• Ease of use - functionality
• Accurate results
• Considers all types of scenarios and structures etc.

Incentivized

• When dealing with large files, the interface can be slow at times

Other software not on the list includes HEC-RAS and SWMM / PCSWMM. Initially, we had to use multiple software before going to HEC-RAS to complete projects. Now we are able to complete the entire project on GeoHECRAS alone with so many different features which enable us to analyze various different scenarios with ease.

Incentivized

• Greatly improved timelines for finishing a project as everything can be completed together on GeoHECRAS without having to use other software etc.
• No negative impact thus far.
• Makes working on these type of projects easier.
