A new feature has been added to the CurveBuilder application that will generate operability lookup tables. This feature will scan the the input yield curve dataset and identify timings when the stand is eligible for a treatment, as defined by a query expression. The early and late operability ages will be written to a lookup table, along with an expression that can be used in case the operability ages are discontinuous.

The operability lookup table can be referred to in the MatrixBuilder to control the operability timings of the treatments that the records apply to. This feature provides another step towards better automation of stand dynamics descriptions by introspecting on the input data sets. Automations like this are a key step in improving the reliability of the inputs and also to reducing model building costs.
