Hi Jessica,
The reason for this crash is because for your TELSA template database for this landscape you have loaded the LU Map and run the tessellation but have not yet run the spatial scenario setup. Please refer to this post: http://www.apexrms.com/content/path-and-telsa
It looks like you have missed step 5. Run the spatial scenario setup using the TELSA spatial tools without specifying a planning zone map or operational unit and then try to run the simulation again. Let me know if that works for you.
The warnings are unrelated to this crash. They are happening because your time since transition groups property for this scenario specifies time since transition groups for each stratum. In TELSA, time since transition groups are global and can’t be specified by stratum so the warning is telling you that for Alt succession the time since transition group used will be the one specified for stratum ‘Boreal_Spruce_Fir_Hardwood_CNTY’ and for Replacement fire the time since transition group used will be the one specified for stratum ‘Acid_Peatland_Systems_CNTY’. I don’t think this is a problem because in your case the time since transition group is always ‘All Fire’ regardless of the stratum.
Cheers,
Leonardo
