Failures Visualization#

The failures as indicated by temperature probes placed measuring WALL_TEMPERATURES on the surface of the obstacles at a plane closest to the fire source simulated are visualized by FRI3D with a RED outline.

Smoke Visualization#

FDS outputs smoke quantities like the amount of soot, temperature, and heat flux into a file with .s3d extension. This file format is documented in the Fire Dynamics Simulator User’s Guide. FDS output is generated by specifying the directive to output *.s3d.sz files—this text file contains the time specification of quantities in a run length encoded compressed format.
