This advanced follow-on course builds upon the foundational Two-Dimensional Hydraulic Modeling of Rivers at Highway Encroachments (2DHM) training. It is designed to provide participants with the skills needed to process and apply LiDAR and other elevation data formats in defining terrain geometry for two-dimensional hydraulic models.
Using the Surface-water Modeling System (SMS), a graphical pre- and post-processor developed by Aquaveo, participants will learn to identify and address potential issues in elevation data, modify geometry for simulations, and integrate terrain information into hydraulic modeling workflows. The course also covers importing data from multiple sources, merging datasets, and exporting terrain in formats compatible with widely used GIS and CAD software. Limited spots available.
- Dates: February 2 - February 4, 2026
- Times: 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand how to process LiDAR and other elevation data formats for SRH-2D models
- Identify and resolve common issues in terrain datasets
- Modify and refine geometry for hydraulic simulations
- Import, merge, and export terrain data across SMS, GIS, and CAD platforms
- Incorporate terrain into model meshes for accurate hydraulic analysis
Course Structure
- Delivery: Three live Zoom sessions supported by two independent, hands-on exercises
- Sessions:
Session 1: Introduction, Topographic Data, Bathymetric Data, and Channel Creation
Session 2: Combining and Exporting Data, Incorporating Terrain into a Mesh
Session 3: Summary and Review
Materials: Comprehensive training manual and exercise data files provided
Schedule
- Standard format: Three consecutive days, three hours per day (suggested Tuesday–Thursday)
- Independent exercises assigned after Session 1 and Session 2
- Alternate scheduling available upon request, though the course is not intended for extended delivery
This course is ideal for engineers and practitioners seeking practical expertise in terrain development for SRH-2D modeling, ensuring accurate and reliable hydraulic simulations.
