Copying an Existing Near-Term Fire Behavior Analysis

Fire Behavior Specialists can copy analysis parameters for Near-Term Fire Behavior Analysis. Copying an existing analysis allows you to do the following:

• modify your parameters without having to re-enter everything
• easily revert to an earlier calibrationto update ignitions and barriers

CAUTION: After copying an analysis, verify that all analysis settings and notes are correct for their new analysis. Be sure to use a different name for the new analysis.

Before copying and running the NTFB, make sure that you have a current ignition file and current barriers file.

Note: Make sure that your analysis sort order is set to reverse chronological order before copying an analysis. Otherwise, you might not be able to easily find it in the list.

To copy an existing NTFB analysis:

1. From the Analysis List, select the analysis you want to copy.
2. Click Copy. A Comment dialog box appears.
3. Enter a comment, then click Copy. The Analysis Information page appears for the copied analysis.
4. Enter a new name for the analysis.
5. Select the ignition file you want to use.
6. Select the barriers file you want to use.
7. Review and modify the other analysis parameters as needed.
8. Save the modifications.
9. Click Run Near-Term Fire Behavior to run the analysis using the modified parameters. The Analysis List page reappears and displays the new analysis with a Queued status.

Depending on the landscape size and resolution, as well as the traffic on the server, the analysis could take several minutes to run. Refresh your browser to see the status change to Complete, then select the analysis and click View Results to see the analysis on the map view.
