Description
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) serves as a free and open-source platform for the modeling and visualization of flows influenced by fire. This computational fluid dynamics code effectively solves a variant of the Navier–Stokes equations tailored for low-speed, thermally-driven airflow, focusing particularly on the transport of smoke and heat resulting from fires. Employing large-eddy simulation, it captures the intricacies of fire-plume dynamics and can be utilized in diverse scenarios, such as those involving wind, sprinklers, ventilation systems, and various materials that affect fire behavior. Users create scenarios by utilizing text-based input files, execute the calculations within FDS, and subsequently evaluate the output data. The simulator presents results from both FDS and CFAST simulations through advanced OpenGL-based 3D graphics, incorporating scientific visualization techniques that include animated representations of smoke and tracer particles, two- and three-dimensional shaded contours, iso-surfaces, temperature distributions, and flow vectors that display both direction and intensity. In addition to these features, FDS is continually updated to enhance user experience and functionality, making it a vital tool for researchers and safety professionals alike.
Description
The Life Safety Inspector digital platform enables users to conduct, monitor, and oversee inspections from any location, effectively reducing paper consumption while enhancing the management and analytical capabilities of inspections and reports, ultimately increasing efficiency for our clients. With a rich background as both fire protection contractors and software developers, the founders of OnSite Software bring a distinctive skill set to the table, having served in various roles such as contractor owners, estimators, designers, project managers, and inspectors.
