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…
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…
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 fundamental stage in FDS to achieve a good scalability regards the use of MPI (also named multicore) parallelization method. This method, as we highlighted in an old post, is based on the MESH definition in the input FDS file. To achieve a good scalability it is fundamental you split Read more…
Generating obstruction geometries for FDS is faster and easier with the help of the powerful 3D editing tool BlenderFDS. BlenderFDS is an opensource software that works as an user interface for FDS. You can download Blender and BlenderFDS directly from this website. Blender FDS gives you the tools to generate Read more…
