BehavePlus Version 4.0

Spread Distance in direction of maximum spread vs. specified direction of spread
DescriptionSpread Distance is given for the direction of maximum spread even when surface rate of spread is calculated in specified directions.
StatusInterim fixes:
  1. In version 4, manually multiply the calculated surface rate of spread by the elapsed time.
  2. Use BehavePlus version 3, which is on the Archives page. You can have both BehavePlus3 and BehavePlus4 on your computer at the same time.

SURFACE Flame Length Calculations are wrong for the two fuel model option
DescriptionThe flame lengths are wrong for the two fuel model options in SURFACE. The weighted rates of spread are ok.
StatusInterim fix:
  • Flame length values are not weighted. The maximum of the two values is used, regardless of the percent cover. Calculate flame lengths for the individual fuel models and manually select the maximum value.

Fatal error occurs when selecting SURFACE, CROWN, and MORTALITY while calculating wind adjustment factor in SURFACE
DescriptionA fatal error occurs when you select SURFACE, CROWN, and MORTALITY with the option of calculating the wind adjustment factor in SURFACE.
Status Interim fixes:
  1. Run SURFACE and MORTALITY separate from SURFACE and CROWN. There is no interaction between MORTALITY and CROWN.
  2. Run SURFACE, CROWN, and MORTALITY with the option of input wind adjustment factor.
  3. Use BehavePlus version 3.0.2, which is on the Archives page. You can have both BehavePlus3 and BehavePlus4 on your computer at the same time.
