Rana Web Platform
In Rana, there are multiple ways to interact with hydrodynamic models. The easiest and most accessible way is through the Rana Web Platform, which provides a user-friendly interface for running simulations and exploring results. For specialists who need full control and advanced functionality, the Rana Desktop Client offers deep access to model details and configuration.
The following tutorials guide you step by step through the key tasks in the Rana Web Platform: exploring hydrological data, running simulations, and interpreting results. By completing them, you will build a solid foundation for using Rana efficiently in your own water management projects.
After completing these tutorials, you will be able to:
Navigate and work confidently within the Rana Web Platform
Set up projects, gather data, and run hydrodynamic simulations
Interpret simulation results and identify areas at risk
Share your findings with stakeholders using Rana’s publication tools
Rana Live
Rana Live is an intuitive online interface to run Rana simulations in real time. You can see results as the simulation progresses and interact with it directly, making it an effective tool for quickly assessing water system behaviour and communicating with stakeholders.
Rana Desktop Client
The Rana Desktop Client is the tool of choice for modellers who need full control over schematisation, model configuration, and result analysis. The following tutorials take you through the complete modelling workflow, from creating a schematisation to analysing and interpreting simulation results.
