About
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a free, open source tools for modeling and visualizing fire-driven flows. FDS is a computational fluid dynamics code that numerically solves a form of the Navier–Stokes equations for low-speed, thermally driven flow, with particular emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires. It uses large-eddy simulation to represent complex fire-plume dynamics and can be applied to scenarios involving fire, wind, sprinklers, ventilation, geometry, materials, and other conditions that influence fire behavior. Users define a scenario through text-based input files, run the calculation with FDS, and analyze the resulting data. It displays output from FDS and CFAST simulations using OpenGL-based 3D graphics and scientific visualization methods, including animated smoke and tracer particles, two- and three-dimensional shaded contours, iso-surfaces, temperature fields, and flow vectors showing direction and magnitude.

About
Orbital Stack is an AI and CFD web-based software that provides earlier qualitative guidance, comparing a large number of design options while highlighting any potential wind and thermal comfort red flags. It allows for the realization of a variety of climate-conscious, high-performance developments not previously feasible due to cost and/or time constraints associated with traditional studies.
Orbital Stack is the first digital climate-analysis tool built by global leaders in wind and microclimate engineering using real wind tunnel data. It is truly a game-changer for the architecture and building design sector, offering our clients direct access to wind comfort and safety analysis, thermal comfort and shadowing analysis, and cladding pressure simulations. This means architects can run their own wind simulations and quickly understand the climate impacts of their proposed building designs from the start, making decisions that result in higher performing and more resilient projects.
