$ pip install rashdf

Usage

RasGeomHdf and RasPlanHdf are extensions of h5py.File. They contain methods to export HEC-RAS model geometry as GeoDataFrame objects.

>>> from rashdf import RasGeomHdf
>>> geom_hdf = RasGeomHdf("path/to/rasmodel/Muncie.g04.hdf")
>>> mesh_cells = geom_hdf.mesh_cell_polygons()  # export a GeoDataFrame
>>> mesh_cells

>>> mesh_cells.to_file("mucie-mesh-cell-polygons.shp")

Also, methods to extract certain HDF group attributes as dictionaries:

>>> from rashdf import RasPlanHdf
>>> with RasPlanHdf("path/to/rasmodel/Muncie.p04.hdf") as plan_hdf:
>>> results_unsteady_summary_attrs = plan_hdf.get_results_unsteady_summary_attrs()
>>> results_unsteady_summary_attrs
{'Computation Time DSS': datetime.timedelta(0),
'Computation Time Total': datetime.timedelta(seconds=23),
'Maximum WSEL Error': 0.0099277812987566,
'Maximum number of cores': 6,
'Run Time Window': [datetime.datetime(2024, 3, 27, 9, 31, 52),
datetime.datetime(2024, 3, 27, 9, 32, 15)],
'Solution': 'Unsteady Finished Successfully',
'Time Solution Went Unstable': None,
'Time Stamp Solution Went Unstable': 'Not Applicable'}

CLI

The rashdf command-line interface allows export directly to a variety of formats, enabled by GeoPandas.

$ rashdf <sub-command> <hdf-file> [<output-path>] [<options>]

CLI help:

$ rashdf --help

Print the output formats supported by pyorgio:

$ rashdf --pyogrio-drivers

Help for a specific subcommand:

$ rashdf mesh_cell_polygons --help

Example: export mesh cell faces to an ESRI Shapefile

$ rashdf mesh_cell_faces BigRiver.g01.hdf big-river-mesh-cell-faces.shp

Example: export mesh cell points to GeoParquet

$ rashdf mesh_cell_points LittleCreek.g01.hdf --parquet little-creek-mesh-cell-points.parquet

Example: export breaklines to OGC GeoPackage and reproject to a different CRS

$ rashdf breaklines Whitemarsh.p01.hdf whitemarsh-breaklines.gpkg --to-crs EPSG:4326

Example: write structures GeoJSON to stdout:

$ rashdf structures Potomac.p01.hdf

Developer Setup

Create a virtual environment in the project directory:

$ python -m venv venv-rashdf

Activate the virtual environment:

# For macOS/Linux
$ source ./venv-rashdf/bin/activate
(venv-rashdf) $

# For Windows
> ./venv-rashdf/Scripts/activate

Install dev dependencies:

(venv-rashdf) $ pip install ".[dev]"

Install git hook scripts (used for automatic liniting/formatting)

(venv-rashdf) $ pre-commit install

With the virtual environment activated, run the tests:

(venv-rashdf) $ pytest
