Hi to the SWAT+ community,
I'm stuck getting a fire management operation to actually execute in rev61.0.2 and hoping someone can spot what I'm doing wrong.
My setup is a large composite watershed in NM, 50 historical wildfires (2005–2024), ~18K HRUs. I created a custom land use class for MTBS high-severity burn areas so HRU boundaries follow fire perimeters. Each fire gets its own management schedule with a burn operation (tree_intense from fire.ops) followed by a replant. Each burned HRU gets its own LUM entry pointing to the right schedule. 693 HRUs total across 50 fire dates.
The problem im facing at this point is that the burns aren't firing. mgtout shows zero burn operations. The engine completes fine but the output is identical to my no-fire counterfactual.
I think the issue is my management.sch format. I wrote manual operations by hand (numb_ops=2) since the Editor only seems to generate auto-scheduled operations via decision tables. Here's what my schedule block looks like:
fire_2005_6_22 2
burn 6 6 22 0 tree_intense 0 0
plant 7 4 1 0 pine 0 0
Is the column layout for manual operations in management.sch correct? Is there a yr_rot column, and where does it go? I am barking up the wrong tree?
My TxtInOut is zipped up here (~2GB) if curious and want to dig in. Unzipped its about 17gb.
