fdsreader 0.9.1

Python reader for data generated by FDS.

FDSReader

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

Installation

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

pip install 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.surfaces, sim.slices, sim.data_3d, sim.isosurfaces, sim.particles, sim.obstructions, sim.obstructions[0].get_boundary_data("temperature"))

More advanced examples can be found in the respective data type directories inside of the examples directory.
