BehavePlus 3.0.1 (Build 261) is available for download and testing from the Download page. This fixes a bug in version 3.0.0 that crashes the program when the SURFACE Module Fire Characteristics Chart is selected as output.

See the Overview section for BehavePlus version 3 compared to version 2 details.

Major new features of Version 3 include:

• A CROWN module to calculate transition to crown fire and crown fire spread rate.
• Calculation of wind adjustment factor (WAF) for sheltered fuel conditions.
• Table shading according to user-specified ranges of acceptable conditions for prescribed fire planning.
• A CONTAIN option for single resource dispatch so that tables and graphs can be produced for ranges of line contruction, etc.
• Forty new surface fuel models, some with dynamic herbaceous fuel live-to-dead load transfer as a function of live fuel moisture. See the Publications page.
• The ability to export table output to spreadsheet for further analysis or custom display.
