FDS levelset, fire not crossing mesh

[3dfirelab]

using FDS-6.9.1-825-g48a6b66-master and the config below,
my fire is not crossing the mesh where the ignition takes place.

my config :

Desired resolution: 10.0m
DEM layer: elevation
Landuse layer: fuelmap
Landuse type file: ...pontdeVilomara/practical4/2-qgis2fds/Landfire.gov_F13.csv
Fire layer: ignitionLine_canyon
FDS DEVCs layer: FIXME
Wind file: ...da/FDS/LS-elpontdeVilomara/practical4/2-qgis2fds/wind.csv

MISC LEVEL_SET_MODE parameter
 1: Wind not affected by the terrain. No fire.
 2: Wind field established over the terrain, then frozen. No fire.
 3: Wind field following the terrain, no fire.
 4: Wind and fire fully-coupled.

Please add a .txt extension to your input file and attach it in the thread.

[3dfirelab]

here it is
input_pdV.fds.txt

and it this can be useful, I run it using

#source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1
time mpirun -n $SLURM_NTASKS /opt/FDS/Build/fds_impi_intel_linux input_pdV.fds

[marcosvanella]

I'll run the case with latest source here.

[marcosvanella]

The issue is related to having non exact match of the deltas used in the mesh MULT line and the specified mesh size. Replace your MULT and MESH lines by:

&MULT ID='Meshes'
DX=346.59 I_LOWER=0 I_UPPER=4
DY=278.26 J_LOWER=0 J_UPPER=7 /
&MESH IJK=34,27,33 MULT_ID='Meshes'
XB=-866.59,-520.00,-1113.01,-834.75,211.57,543.35 /

And run your case again. I will post an issue with the qgis2fds developers to make sure DX, DY in mult match exactly the XB sizes in meshes.

thanks a lot for the super quick answer
it worked on my side too.

Could you upload your qgis project file? I'll take a look and see what is going on.
