HEC-RAS Output DSS filename can be incorrect depending on model setup. #14

There are a number of ways to define the output DSS filename used by the plans files in HEC-RAS. The default is to use the model name appended with .DSS. This is the one currently used as the output in the EnDMC_Desktop. While testing with a model (AA_Atchafalaya_Ri) which is setup to output to a different DSS file, I noticed that the JSON files did not output the correct output file. In this case there was not a AA_Atchafalaya_Ri.DSS file in the model data at all.

There are 3 options to name the output files for each plan.

  1. The default DSS file as above
  2. Use the plan name as the DSS filename
  3. Use a unique user specified DSS filename

The DSS filename used is specified within the plan file (*.Pxx) on the line with "DSS File=" like below: DSS File=.\GustavIke_2008_Calibration\GustavIke_2008_Calibration.dss Let me know if you have any questions
