Fast and easy-to-use Python reader for FDS data

Installation

The package is available on PyPI and can be installed using pip:

python -m pip install --upgrade fdsreader

Usage example

import fdsreader as fds

# Creates an instance of a simulation master-class which manages all data for a given simulation
sim = fds.Simulation("./sample_data")

# Examples of data that can be easily accessed
print(sim.meshes, sim.meshes[0].obstructions, sim.surfaces, sim.slices, sim.boundaries, sim.data_3d, sim.isosurfaces)
