FDS has default settings on how to deal with thermal radiation transport in the simulation. However, there are some simulations where reducing the ration calculations can be useful to reduce simulation time. Such as per simulation where there aren’t high change in temperature or in external fires. Otherwise, knowing the Read more…
FDS provide different methods in order to stop your running simulation: SOFT and HARD STOP. Sometimes your analysis just crashes and you would lose all of your data. Other times, you might want to stop a calculation, make few variations, and restart the simulation from when it left off. FDS Read more…
An Important FDS feature is the ability to restart a simulation. The Cloud HPC allows you to restart your simulation directly from the web-app, with the MISC parameter RESTART. When running a simulation, there could be times in which you need to stop your simulation, in order to make few Read more…
Blender FDS gives you the tools to generate a geometry directly with edit commands available. However, for complex geometry the software allows you to import CAD models such as STL file. In this post is shown how to generate a complex geometry starting from a STL file. Blender FDS allows Read more…
Meshes define the computational domain of your simulation. Multiple meshes are useful to assign the work load to different cores, achieve a good scalability and optimize the simulation. However, it is fundamental to properly aligned abutting meshes in order to be able to run the simulation. Blender FDS tool is Read more…
Blender provides an add-on named BlenderFDS a graphical interface for FDS which allows to set and manage complex geometries and FDS input parameters. FDS is a free and open-source software tools provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). FDS is computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. BlenderFDS helps Read more…
FDS simulation results ran in the Cloud HPC are available through the web-app STORAGE. Visulizse the FDS results by means of the Pyrosim results application. The Cloud HPC service is offered by CFD FEA Service to run your scripts for CFD, FEM and other simulations. The High Performance Computing system Read more…
Blender provides a graphical interface for FDS with the advantage of being able to share BIM geometric data. Importing and converting IFC to FDS models is a useful way of incorporating complex designs into Blender for the development of fire fluid dynamics analysis with BlenderFDS. This is possible via the Read more…
A useful feature of the Cloud HPC Service is the possibility to access to Smokeview and check your results live directly from the webapp. The Cloud HPC System allows you to run large and complex FDS analysis by renting the needed computational capacity and to easily manage your simulation directly Read more…
One of the main challenges when running a complex FDS analysis is the simulation time. Long simulation time usually depends on the high amount of calculation and available computational capacity allocated. The dimension of the computational domain, and therefore of the meshes’ cells number, contributes to increase the simulation time. Read more…
