R2D_Bed is a utility program intended for use with the River2D river modelling system. R2D_Bed is an interactive and graphical bed topography file editor. The normal modelling process would involve creating a preliminary bed topography file (text) from the raw field data, then editing and refining it using R2D_Bed. The resulting bed topography file is used in R2D_Mesh to develop a computational discretization. River2D is then used to solve for the water depths and velocities. Finally, the River2D habitat module is used to visualize and interpret the results and perform PHABSIM type fish habitat analysis. An iterative approach at various stages, including modification of the bed topography, is usual.
