Fire Dynamics Simulator with Evacuation
FDS+Evac is the evacuation simulation module for Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). The software is used to simulate the movement of people in evacuation situations. The evacuation simulations can be fully coupled with the fire simulations.
The main features of FDS+Evac are
- Agent based simulation of humans
- Movement algorithm based on the Panic model
- Simple, text based definition of the scenarios
- Post-processing using Smokeview software
- Fire effects are calculated using the Fractional Effective Dose (FED) concept
