The stratas.csv file contains well
structured information about the stratification code values for each
the intial conditions and each successional transition point in the
track. These values are used within the block attribute table to
report on stratification values at any point in the
simulation.
See Table 12, “Stratas file format” for a detailed description of the stratas file.
Table 12. Stratas file format
| Attribute | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TRACK | String | An alphanumeric label that matches a track label. |
| OFFSET | Integer | The offset at which the values in this record applies. The value will apply up until the offset age for the next record for this track. |
| NEXTAGE | Integer | The next age value that the block will be set to following this transition. |
| CYCLE | Integer | The cycle value starts at 0 for initial stand conditions, and increments by one for each record that represents a succession event. |
| STRATA... | String | Multiple columns follow, one for each stratification column in the model. The values in each field contain the stratification codes for that point in the model. |
