Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) & Fire Model Impacts on the AHJ
Tuesday, July 18th, 2006 from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
If you are not already familiar with FDS, it is an amazing piece of fire modeling software developed by NIST. It can be used for fire protection engineering, fire modeling, performance-based design and fire investigations. You can learn more about it and download it for free at http://www.fire.nist.gov/fds.
