Converting runoff in HDF5 format to shapefile(.shp)

I'm using OpenFlows FLOOD to generate flood simulation.

When I try to export HDF5 to shapefile(.shp), the software always show "File export failed!" window as picture below.

  • Hello,

    Please ensure that your coordinate system is setup in WGS84 and not Web Mercator.

    We had a similar query in the past. See the forum post below;

    Failed:When export HDF results to shapefile

    You would have to change the coordinate system to WGS84 to be able to export to shapefiles.

    Please go through the solution provided in the above forum post and let me know if it helps.

  • Hello,

    I've received your file and was able to convert it with no problems. I understand you've successfully converted the file in one computer and the failure happens in a second machine. 

    From the error message, it seems it maybe related with some encoding settings in the computer, or it maybe related with some characters that are not accepted by OpenFlows FLOOD. Could you copy here the name and full path of the HDF5 file exactly has it is shown on your computer where the error occurs?

    Thanks and kind regards,
    Luis
