The version of HEC-1 distributed with WMS can be run directly from WMS by using the Run HEC-1 command in the HEC-1 menu. Before running an HEC-1 simulation you should run the model checker which will help you identify serious and potential problems that should be corrected before a successful run of HEC-1 can be made.

The Run HEC-1 command will bring up a dialog allowing you to specify three files which are necessary to run HEC-1. The first file is the HEC-1 input file. The second is an ASCII output file generated by HEC-1 and can be used to extract specific results values. It also contains important information which can be used to correct problems encountered when running HEC-1. The third file is a new name for the TAPE22 file, and will contain hydrograph results for basins and outlets. You can view these results by reading this file with the Open command from the Hydrographs menu.

Once these files have been defined and you select OK, HEC-1 will be executed. A separate window will appear and information about the HEC-1 simulation will be reported.

If HEC-1 is not executed successively when issuing this command then for PC computers be sure that the path to your HEC1.EXE file is included in AUTOEXEC.BAT.

If HEC-1 does not run to a successful completion you can view the ASCII output file using the View File command in the File menu.
