🎛️ Managing Outputs & Inputs - heinsch-fa/behave-app GitHub Wiki

📖 In This Section

• Core Objective: Select fire behavior outputs, enter required variables, and use the automated numeric Range Selector.
• Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes.
• Prerequisites: Review 🎛️ Run Types & Modules to establish the outputs required for your analysis.

---

Your selected Run Type determines the available choices, while the exact outputs you select dictate which inputs are required. Behave⁷ supports single-value data entries, manual selection drop-down menus, and multi-value mathematical sequence generation.

Filter down your modeling targets before entering physical site environmental criteria.

• Action Required: Check the explicit boxes for your outputs of interest.
• Important Detail: Outputs are organized by category and distinctly color-coded by module to reduce confusion.
• Technical Constraint: Some intermediate values from previous versions such as those in Rothermel’s fire spread equation, are omitted from Behave⁷.

Calculate multiple scenario variations simultaneously by establishing variable ranges for up to three inputs.

• Action Required: Click the Range Selector button next to your target variable (e.g., Fuel Moisture).
• Action Required: Input your baseline value in the From box, the upper limit in the To box, and the incremental jump size in the Steps field.
• Action Required: Review the generated sequence text in the Result field, then click Insert Range to push it into the main input line.

Quickly reference standard environmental archetypes without manual typing.

• Action Required: Click + Show Options on categorical variables to pull open standard catalog items.
• Fuel Models Selector: Search or filter standard US configurations (Anderson, Scott and Burgan), Mediterranean options, or Chaparral classifications by type.
• Moisture Scenarios Selector: Pick preset scenario arrays in the exact same format.

---

• Values Box: Holds your current active string of data arrays separated by commas.
• From / To / Steps Fields: Controls the lower ceiling, upper floor, and math progression rate.
• Insert Range Button: Saves your progress and updates the variable profile.

• Standard Workflow Block: The core Run button stays entirely hidden and inactive until every required entry field is successfully populated and you click out of the final input box.
• Guided Workflow Block: Missing parameters are explicitly marked with a bright orange Required warning tag on the summary pages: ( ).
