BFDS fire simulations

BFDS is a Blender add-on that makes it easy to create and manage NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) models.

Instead of entering complex geometry by hand, you can use Blender’s powerful 3D tools to build and edit FDS entities directly in a familiar environment.

Designed for fire safety engineers, researchers, and students, BFDS helps you focus on your fire simulations instead of struggling with the geometry setup.

NIST FDS is an open source large-eddy simulation (LES) code for simulating low-speed flows, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires.

BFDS is the successor to the BlenderFDS project — a community-driven initiative first presented at the Blender Conference 2009 and continuously developed since then.
