RASPLOT Version 2.5 (March 2005)
Summary
RASPLOT is a computer program that creates a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) profile by automatically extracting data from HEC-RAS or HEC-2 input and output files. In addition, the RASPLOT program can be used to create FIS profiles for any other hydraulic model by entering the necessary data manually. The final product will be in DXF file format and a CADD program is included as part of this program to edit and print profiles as necessary.
A Comment Form has been developed to accommodate questions and suggestions regarding this and other FEMA programs. The RASPLOT program is offered below, along with information concerning how to install the software.
The RASPLOT, Version 2.5 User's Manual contains the instructions and specifications needed to run the program successfully. Prior to running RASPLOT, Version 2.5 for the first time, users should take the time to read this manual.
Sample data sets have been prepared for the RASPLOT program. These data sets can be input into the RASPLOT application interface to help reinforce your understanding of the RASPLOT program. These data sets are described in detail in the RASPLOT tutorial.
