Parsing HEC-RAS Compute Messages

Primary Sources (navigate to these for complete details):

• HDF Class Reference: ras_commander/hdf/AGENTS.md - Class hierarchy, decorators
• HdfResultsPlan Implementation: ras_commander/hdf/HdfResultsPlan.py - Compute message methods
• Working Example: examples/400_1d_hdf_data_extraction.ipynb - Compute message extraction

When the user asks about execution status or compute messages, use these patterns. Read the primary sources above for implementation details.

Quick Start

Check Plan Completion and Extract Messages

from ras_commander import init_ras_project, HdfResultsPlan

# Initialize project
init_ras_project("path/to/project", "6.6")

# Extract compute messages (handles HDF + .txt fallback automatically)
messages = HdfResultsPlan.get_compute_messages("01")

# Check if plan has results (runtime data exists only for completed plans)
runtime = HdfResultsPlan.get_runtime_data("01")
is_complete = runtime is not None

if is_complete:
    print(f"Plan completed in {runtime['Complete Process (hr)'].values[0]:.2f} hours")
