Fuels module

This module is the interface to FVS. Given a FVS variant name, a keyword file and the corresponding tree file, a user can run an FVS simulation (Fvsfuels class) and request various fuels information from individual trees (Fuelcalc class) The Fvsfuels class will also produce the 4 fuels files needed for the Capsis fuel matrix generator.

Currently FVS MC Access database querying not available on all platforms. If a user has a keyword file that points to a MS Access database, then the user can generate a tree file by exporting the FVS_TreeInit data table from the Access database to an comma-delimited (.csv) file and pass it through the Inventory class. The output will be the same inventory present in the .mdb file, but formatted to FVS .tre file standards.
