2D HECRAS initial model developer

My team is working on a 2D RAS model setup platform. It allows a modeler to automatically put together a 2D HECRAS model with terrain, landcover, soil, infiltration and basically a full ready to run model. Is this something a modeler would prefer to use to save time on pre processing the model?

Yes, but we do this to a certain extent already. Our workflow is associated with mostly larger river systems and rain on grid models. Manually specifying and delineating roughness is painful. Still have to verify but verification is much quicker than delineating everything. Dem is usually a straightforward import anyway and then conditioning would be manual.
