Join us for an informative webinar introducing hgs2vtu.exe, the powerful new post-processing utility for HydroGeoSphere (HGS) model outputs.
Abstract:
As of the December 2025 HydroGeoSphere software update Aquanty is deprecating hsplot.exe, which has been the standard utility for post-processing HGS model outputs since the very beginning of HGS. However, as HGS has evolved it's been difficult for our team to maintain hsplot.exe in a way that continues to support all HGS capabilities. With that in mind, we have been developing hgs2vtu.exe for >3 years as a successor to hsplot.exe.
In this webinar we will provide a comprehensive introduction to hgs2vtu.exe and it's many features and capabilities.
In this presentation we will review features such as:
Introduction to HGS2VTU: Visualization Post-Processor.
Different file format handling (VTU UGRID, NetCDF, Tecplot binary (SZL), Tecplot ASCII, CSV point cloud files).
Potential of HGS2VTU interactive command line demo.
Differences in hsplot and hgs2vtu.
Note: while we are officially deprecating hsplot.exe it will continue to be included on installation for the foreseeable future, to ensure that we don't negatively impact our user's existing workflows. However, we do highly encourage users to begin using hgs2vtu.exe instead.
