Description
Multifunctional dynamics simulator that seamlessly integrates into Autodesk 3ds Max or V-Ray. Chaos® Phoenix can create a wide variety of effects, including smoke, liquids and flames, explosions as well as rigid body simulations, ocean waves and mist. It is easy to set up and quick to use, and the powerful simulation engine allows for complete control over more complicated effects. Chaos® Phoenix is a one-stop solution for fluid dynamics. Simulate fire, smoke and liquids, as well as ocean waves, splashes and mist, and other fluid dynamics. Designed for 3D artists who need to create dynamic FX quickly using presets, quick setup and intuitive controls. Viewport allows you to preview and render interactively. You can adjust simulations as you go. You can create all kinds of fluid effects based on physical properties using flexible controls that allow you to quickly render, retiming, and refine simulations. Integrated seamlessly into 3ds Max, optimized to render with Chaos Vray®.
Description
FireFlow Studio for FDS serves as a comprehensive Windows graphical user interface for the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) developed by NIST, designed by a professional fire safety engineer specifically for fire engineering firms. This application streamlines the entire process within a single platform, offering features such as 3-D geometry design through DXF floor-plan tracing and automatic voxelization for curves, a multi-mesh configuration with visible cell displays and MPI partitioning, as well as an intuitive fire-design wizard that includes a D* flame-resolution calculator. Users can initiate simulations of the unmodified FDS solver with just one click while monitoring heat release rates (HRR) and device outputs in real time. Furthermore, it boasts an integrated 3-D results viewer that provides slices, boundary quantities, smoke visualizations, scenario-comparison tabs, and options for exporting data as CSV or PNG files. The software also incorporates a built-in finite-element heat-transfer solver that is coupled live with the ongoing FDS simulation, allowing for real-time tracking of structural steel temperatures as the fire progresses, eliminating the need for any external FEA software. Additionally, it supports round-tripping of hand-written FDS decks, enhancing its versatility for advanced users.
