Navigate the PyroSim interface to create geometry, define meshes, fire sources, and ventilation, and export FDS input for SmokeView visualization. Prepare for the fundamentals of fire behavior next.
Explore essential fire dynamics for accurate fire and smoke cfd simulations, focusing on heat release rate (HRR), fire growth, smoke behavior, and ventilation interactions to ensure physically realistic results.
Create rooms, walls, floors, ceilings, doors, and openings in PyroSim using a three-dimensional coordinate system in meters to form a closed fire and smoke enclosure.
Master mesh and domain setup for fire CFD with FDS, emphasizing structured cartesian meshes, domain sizing, and uniform cell size to resolve gradients and minimize numerical diffusion.
Define fire sources in CFD by modeling heat release rate and burner geometry to capture heat, smoke, and plume behavior for realistic, credible safety analysis.
Transition from pure fire modeling to ventilation in CFD, explaining natural, mechanical, and mixed ventilation, boundary conditions, and how PyroSim and FTS model exhaust, supply, and delays for smoke control.
Interpret CFD results with Smokeview by reading qualitative visuals and quantitative sensor data over time, validating criteria and extracting defensible conclusions for fire safety.
Fire modeling is no longer optional in performance-based fire safety design — it is essential.
This complete professional course on Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) takes you from absolute fundamentals to advanced real-world fire modeling applications. Whether you are a fire protection engineer, CFD engineer, mechanical engineer, safety consultant, or researcher, this course is designed to make you confident in building, running, and interpreting fire simulations professionally.
We begin with the foundations of fire dynamics, combustion principles, and CFD basics required to understand how FDS works. You will then learn PyroSim step-by-step — including geometry creation, meshing strategy, material definition, species, surfaces, devices, controls, and HVAC systems.
This course goes far beyond software buttons. By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently develop complete fire models for tunnels, industrial facilities, atriums, and performance-based design projects.
This is not just a tutorial course — it is a professional-level fire modeling training program designed to elevate your engineering capability.
If you are serious about mastering FDS, this course will give you the clarity, technical depth, and practical confidence you need. Once the course is completed you can have a live F2F doubt clearance session with our experts.
All the Best! Enjoy Learning!
