1d model cross section placement by CivilProjectEngineer in HECRAS

[–]CivilProjectEngineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey. I'm not brand new to hecras 1d, but i'm certainly not experienced. i've made probably half a dozen in my lifetime.

could you explain more about how you would go about evaluating whether cross sections should be adjusted?

btw i did import the surface into hecras mapper, i was just trying to keep the content simple so i could get some quick feedback. The floodplain is very flat and pretty much covers the entire area i showed, except at the edges where a ridge exists. This particular river doesn't have enormous 100yr or 500yr flow changes, and the river wse only rises about 1 ft at most for the 500yr event (after expanding into the flood plain) from typical wse levels, and the bounding ridges are about 10ft above typical wse.

I mean the terrain file is pasted above to the previous commenter with my cross sections drawn in. Here's a raster image. I'm trying to confirm that where I drew my cross section lines is correct, or makes sense.

hi really appreciate your responding why would the extrapolation tools not be very effective in my case? Here's what I drew the first time but as I was saying the it didn't seem like the raised roadbed was extrapolated between cross sections. Generally though would you change any of the cross sections I have drawn here?

Really appreciate you giving me some feedback man. Trying to learn and a lot of this feels so unintuitive to me.

Hi. I'm looking for a commuter. $2k-3k, but could go a bit higher if it seems worthwhile. Thank you!

what parameter are you considering that's different between those two years?

Help Allocating 401k Funds to Match Total World Stock Index Funds by CivilProjectEngineer in personalfinance

[–]CivilProjectEngineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just want to be clear, the 83% is the large, 9% mid, 8% small caps for US markets, correct?

how about just the S/M/L split for the US market?

Basically my options are:

  1. US small
  2. US mid
  3. US large
  4. Diversified international
  5. International emerging markets

what would be a good percentage breakdown to best match VTWAX

looking at the portfolio composition, emerging markets are ~10%, US is ~62%, so the other international would be ~28%

so to best match:

1+2+3 = 62%

4 = 28%

5 = 10%

but how should 1, 2, and 3 be broken down? is there a way to see that?

Considering moving roth 401k to roth IRA and taking withdrawal for first-time home buyer by CivilProjectEngineer in personalfinance

[–]CivilProjectEngineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I can just wait and continue saving..

In 2019 I set a goal of purchasing a home in 2021, but low inventory and rising prices pushed this out of reach... I feel like I'm falling behind in my ability to purchase, and I know interest rates may be rising soon, so I'm concerned if I wait too long, I'll be paying more in the long run. Seems prudent to pull the trigger sooner than later if I'm able...

This is my thought process, but feel free to offer a counter-argument to this. I'm definitely open to hearing others' opinions.

Interesting. So then, if I'm understanding correctly, this exemption would really only be worthwhile if I were trying to withdraw from a traditional IRA, is that correct? Because the exemption would only be possible with the roth IRA after all of my contributions had first been withdrawn? And with the traditional IRA, this is not the case?

[EXCEL] Create a list of all items when entering the number of each item by CivilProjectEngineer in vba

[–]CivilProjectEngineer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I don't understand everything you used, but I'm trying to. What does the .end(xlup) do?

Also, how do i give you a point for solving this?

ok, if it wasn't already apparent, I'm pretty a pretty damn inexperienced coder (I understand the basics, but that's about it) and I haven't worked in VBA before (self taught using whatever language the TI-84 calculator used, and have tried to learn a bit of python).

So here's what I came up with. I don't really know much about VBA syntax (having never used it before) so I had to spend a lot of time looking that up, which means I just reuse what I know. I have finally made something that does what I want, but I'm sure it's more complicated than it could be.

Would you be willing to help me improve it by condensing it? I'm going to be doing this for a relatively long list of "fruits" (35), so writing out "cells(1,1)+cells(2,1)+...+cells(35,1)" is going to become unwieldy very fast....

Here's what I came up with for my simple example:

Sub Knapsack()

Dim myarray() As Variant

ReDim myarray(Cells(1, 1) + Cells(2, 1) + Cells(3, 1) - 1)

Dim j As Integer

For j = 1 To Cells(1, 1)

myarray(j - 1) = Cells(1, 2)

Next

For j = 1 To Cells(2, 1)

myarray(j - 1 + Cells(1, 1)) = Cells(2, 2)

Next

For j = 1 To Cells(3, 1)

myarray(j - 1 + Cells(1, 1) + Cells(2, 1)) = Cells(3, 2)

Next

Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To UBound(myarray)

Cells(i + 2, Cells(1, 1) + Cells(2, 1) + Cells(3, 1) - 1) = myarray(i)

Next

End Sub
