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)

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

Configuration

The package provides a few configuration options that can be set using the settings module.

fds.settings.KEY = VALUE

# Example
fds.settings.DEBUG = True

KEY	VALUE	Default	Description
LAZY_LOAD	boolean	True	Load all data when initially loading the simulation (False) or only when specific data is needed (True).
ENABLE_CACHING	boolean	True	Cache the loaded simulation to reduce startup times when loading the same simulation again.
DEBUG	boolean	False	Crash on non-critical errors with an exception (True) or hide non-critical errors (False).
