Create a Run

Right-clicking the Runs item in the "Tree" pane brings up this shortcut menu.

Shortcut menu for Runs tree item.

New FlamMap/MTT/TOM Run

A FlamMap, Minimum Travel Time, or Treatment Optimization Model run is initiated by right-clicking the Runs item in the "Tree" pane and selecting the New FlamMap/MTT/TOM Run command from the short cut menu. Or select the Analysis Area > New FlamMap/MTT/TOM Run command from the menu bar. The "Run:" dialog opens showing the Inputs tab. You should first name your run to avoid confusion with several New Run items in your "Tree" pane.

Run information is saved when you close the "Run:" dialog box by clicking the OK button, regardless of the run status. For example if your Inputs tab is incomplete, just the information you have entered is saved. If you have a completed run with output grids, then those are saved with the project.

New Farsite Run

A FARSITE run is initiated by right-clicking the Runs item in the "Tree" pane and selecting the New Farsite Run command from the short cut menu. Or select the Analysis Area > New Farsite Run command from the menu bar. The "Farsite Run:" dialog opens showing the Weather Inputs tab.

New SpatialFOFEM Run

SpatialFOFEM provides spatial fire effects information for smoke emissions, carbon loading, and fuel consumption identical to those from the non-spatial First Order Fire Effects Model (FOFEM).

Selecting the New SpatialFOFEM Run command from the short cut menu opens the "SpatialFOFEM Run" dialog with the SpatialFOFEM Inputs tab displayed.

Import

Run inputs can be imported from other FlamMap Projects or the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS).

FlamMap and Farsite runs are imported with a Run Log output item saved from a previously completed run. WFDSS Basic, Short Term, and Near Term analyses are imported using the Analysis Input file downloaded from the Results tab of a WFDSS analysis.

Selecting the Import command open a standard Windows Open dialog where you navigate and select the file to import.

NOTE: Importing Run Logs and WFDSS Input files have some interesting quirks. See the Limitations section of the Run Logs topic for more details. Sharing or moving FlamMap or Farsite runs is easily accomplished with the File > Save and Archive command, so consider this option instead of a Run Log.

Delete All

Selecting the Delete All command from the Runs shortcut menu will remove all runs from the analysis area.

NOTE: To delete just an individual run select the Delete command from shortcut menu shown below.

Help

The Help command will bring you to this page in the online help system.

Shortcut menu for individual run.

Right-clicking any of the individual run tree items, such as New Run or Near Max Wx, in the above "Tree" pane brings up this shortcut menu.

Delete

Selecting the Delete command from an individual run shortcut menu will remove just that individual run.

Run Properties

The run Properties command is only available from the shortcut menu of an individual run item, which have the icon. You can also double-click individual run item.

This command opens the "Run:" or "Farsite Run" dialog box where you can modify the run and generate new outputs.

Copy...

The Copy... command create a copy of the run, but not the outputs, adds the prefix "Copy of" to the run name and opens the "Run:" dialog box for the new copy.

You can rename the new run (recommended), modify the run in any of the tabs and generate new outputs.  

KMZ Output

The KMZ Output command opens a "Save As" dialog box to save the run outputs in .KMZ format, for viewing in Google Earth or other geo-spatial viewers. This is a very convenient single file format for sharing FlamMap run results.

All output grid themes and landscape themes are included, using the legending defined with the "Create/Modify Legend" dialog box. Vector themes created by the run and displayed when the .KMZ file is created are also included using color and line style defined by the vector theme Properties dialog box.

If this command is not available (greyed out) it is likely because valid projection information is not available for the Entire Landscape (Default).

Raster Outputs to GeoTIFF

Raster outputs for an entire FlamMap, FARSITE, or SpatialFOFEM run can now all be saved in one multi-band GeoTIFF file with the Raster Outputs to GeoTIFF shortcut command.
