Gain insights about the possible behavior of fire and smoke in a building prior to making any construction or safety system related decisions. HyperCurve offers FDS analysis services in Pune using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) to perform simulations on fire growth, smoke spread, thermal properties, and ventilation under different fire scenarios.
Our team helps you convert the output of our simulations into technical conclusions, which are used for design reviews and fire safety planning. If you want to hire using the FDS consultants in Pune for any new building or existing building, do not hesitate to contact us so that we can have a discussion about your goals.
Overview
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a CFD model that has been designed for analyzing the effect of fire on fluid flow, heat transfer, and smoke dispersion. The Fire Dynamics Simulator software can be applied to simulate fire scenarios, and predict the influence of variables like fire size, fuel, geometry, openings, and ventilation on conditions inside the space.
FDS results are scenario-based engineering outputs, not guarantees of how a real fire will behave. Model assumptions, input data, boundary conditions, and result interpretation all influence the findings. HyperCurve provides FDS services in Pune to help clients understand fire and smoke behaviour, evaluate potential risks, and assess design options using project-specific simulation studies.
Core Services
Our FDS services are scoped around the project objectives, available information and required level of analysis. The selected outputs and deliverables are agreed with the project team before modelling begins.
Develop computational models for agreed fire locations, fire development assumptions and heat-release conditions to investigate their potential effects on the surrounding environment.
Examine predicted smoke transport, smoke-layer development and movement through rooms, corridors, shafts and interconnected spaces.
Evaluate temperature patterns and selected thermal outputs to help project teams understand fire-related conditions under defined scenarios.
Investigate how openings, ventilation paths and proposed smoke-management configurations may influence smoke transport and fire-driven flow.
Compare selected building layouts or system configurations using consistent modelling assumptions to help teams evaluate relative predicted performance.
Present the agreed modelling scope, assumptions, simulation outputs and limitations in a structured format for project review and engineering discussion.
Who We Support
FDS modelling may assist design discussions where fire and smoke behaviour is an important consideration. Its suitability depends on the engineering question, available input data and required analysis.
Review building layouts, internal spaces and circulation areas where fire and smoke behaviour is an important design consideration.
Examine ventilation assumptions, airflow paths and proposed smoke-management concepts under selected fire scenarios.
Use scenario-based simulation outputs as supporting information when evaluating fire-safety strategies and design alternatives.
Consider fire and smoke modelling during new developments, major refurbishments and design coordination.
Investigate defined fire scenarios in production facilities, warehouses and other operational environments.
Review relevant scenarios for basements, parking areas, atriums, corridors, transport facilities and other complex enclosures.
Applications
Fire and smoke conditions vary with building geometry, openings, ventilation and the defined fire scenario. FDS can help investigate selected conditions across a range of building and facility types.
Examine selected fire and smoke scenarios in offices, shared spaces and circulation areas.
Study defined scenarios in common areas, corridors, lobbies and other relevant spaces.
Evaluate smoke movement and ventilation assumptions in enclosed or partially enclosed parking environments.
Model selected fire scenarios in production, storage and high-volume spaces where geometry and ventilation may affect smoke spread.
Support project teams reviewing fire scenarios in complex buildings with varied room layouts and circulation routes.
Investigate defined scenarios in terminals, stations and other large public-use spaces when appropriate.
Workflow
The workflow starts by defining the engineering question and reviewing the available project information. The modelling approach and deliverables are then established around the agreed fire scenarios.
Confirm the engineering question, facility type, intended use of the analysis, stakeholders and required deliverables.
Review available drawings, dimensions, openings, material or fuel information, ventilation details and other relevant inputs.
Agree on fire scenarios, modelling assumptions, boundary conditions and output locations with the project team.
Prepare the computational model and run the agreed cases, subject to the project scope and model checks.
Review relevant outputs, including smoke movement and temperature patterns, and identify important trends and limitations.
Document the methodology, assumptions, results and observations, then discuss how the findings may inform the next design or review step.
Simulation Tools
FDS is used to calculate fire-driven flow and smoke transport, while Smokeview helps visualise simulation outputs. Additional tools may be considered according to the project scope and required deliverables.
FDS calculates fire-driven fluid flow, heat transfer and smoke transport for defined fire scenarios. It is used to investigate predicted fire and smoke conditions within the modelled environment.
Smokeview visualises FDS simulation outputs, helping users examine smoke movement, temperature patterns and other available results over time.
Depending on project requirements, additional tools may support geometry preparation, data analysis, result presentation or evacuation modelling. The workflow is selected according to the agreed scope.
